Self Publishing Bestseller Spotlight: Precession

What makes a best selling book in the competitive self-publishing market? It can be a variety of things like…

  • a professionally designed custom cover
  • professional copyediting
  • the content of the book can be very niche, targeted at a very specific and voracious audience
  • the use of productive marketing services/products from the publisher
  • whether the book is fiction or non-fiction…

The following book was among the top 10 best selling self published books by Outskirts Press in September 2009. 

What contributed to the success of this book? Let’s take a look.

By seeing what works for other authors, you can take the appropriate publishing and marketing steps to chart your own course toward successful book publishing!

  • Fiction
  • Professional custom cover
  • Editing
  • Retail Returns program
  • Productive marketing services from the publisher, like:
    • Amazon Kindle edition
    • Amazon Search Inside the Book Submission service
    • press release/distribution
    • ebook edition
    • author webpage
    • 30-second book teaser

Of course, books cannot become best sellers if they’re only printed and then only sold from the publisher’s website. Books must to be available via multiple sales channels, both wholesale and direct. This bestselling book falls into that category, as does every Outskirts Press book published with the Diamond, Pearl, and Ruby packages.

Self Publishing Your Way to Amazon’s Bestseller List

This whole week has been filled with exciting author success stories, like Wednesday’s story about 8-year-old Dalton James, who wrote, illustrated, and published two children’s books and now speaks to fellow elementary school students about how they can do the same…

… or Tuesday’s story about Gang Chen, who’s book held the #1 Amazon bestseller spot in two different categories and how he has earned over $100,000 in six months self-publishing with Outskirts Press…

… or yesterday’s story about Mary Singer Wick and her climb to #1 on Amazon.


How do these success stories happen? What leads to an Amazon bestseller?

There’s no doubt it takes some effort, and there are a variety of ways to accomplish your own personal goals.  But what remains consistent is that, without the proper know-how, it can certainly be challenging.

Such were the challenges bestselling author Sally Shields faced when her book The Daughter-in-Law Rules was published last year.  Since then, Ms. Shields…

  • Has been a guest on over 100 radio shows
  • Became a guest on Martha Stewart Whole Living Radio
  • Was endorsed by Laura Schelssinger
  • Was featured in Star Magazine’s Hot Sheet
  • Was featured on Fox and Friends
  • Has been a repeat guest on the nationally syndicated Television show, The Daily Buzz

 

  • And, of course, her book The Daughter-in-Law Rules also became a #1 bestseller on Amazon.  

Sally Shields now helps other authors reach Amazon’s bestseller list. She can help you, too.

As a bestselling author and book marketing expert, Sally offers a program that trains, educates, and mentors authors on how they can reach Amazon’s bestseller list for their book(s), too.  She does this independently of Outskirts Press and Outskirts Press is not involved in her program or training materials in any way.

Here’s what Outskirts Press and Amazon bestselling author Mary Singer Wick has to say about Sally’s information: “Sally’s information has been a God-send to me! She has simplified the complicated world of book publishing and marketing. Sally’s hands-on approach provided me all the help I needed to successfully launch my book on Amazon. I highly recommend learning from Sally how you can become a bestselling author too!”

For a limited time, Sally Shields is offering fellow Outskirts Press authors a 60% discount on her Program. To learn more about her program and this exciting promotion, click here now.

The very first step toward becoming an Amazon bestselling author is publishing a book. Have an unpublished manuscript? Visit Outskirts Press first.

Self Publishing Takes Mary Singer Wick to Amazon’s Bestseller List

Recently, My Heart’s Desire: A Journey Toward Finding Extravagant Love by Mary Singer Wick became a #1 Amazon.com Bestseller in the “Baptist” subject category. My Heart’s Desire was published in February by Outskirts Press.

“As a first-time author, I couldn’t have chosen a better publisher than Outskirts Press. I declined other contracts (including one with a traditional royalty company) for my book after learning of Outskirts Press through another satisfied author. My author representative was outstanding! She responded to all my questions in record-breaking time, and the production department designed a beautiful book for me. My readers consistently comment on the impressive quality of the book. A heartfelt thanks to Outskirts Press for making the intimidating process of self-publishing so enjoyable!” - Mary Singer Wick, Amazon #1 bestselling author of My Heart’s Desire.

Press play to watch the book teaser:

Below is a screen shot, taken on the day Ms. Wick became a bestselling author on Amazon. Her book reached #1 in the “Baptist” category, #5 in the “Personal Transformation” category, and #452 overall, among the millions and millions of Amazon books.

Congratulations, Mary!  Visit our blog tomorrow to learn more about how she did it and how you can, too!
