Top 10 Self Publishing Book Marketing Options for February 2013

Book marketing is often revered as the most challenging part of self-publishing a book. There are so many things to do – how can an author decide which options will work best for them? What are other successful self-published authors doing? Wouldn’t it be helpful to get a sneak peek into what others feel works best for their book? What if you had the opportunity to get a “sneak peek” into a list of statistically proven strategies that you put into your book marketing plan right away? Now you can…

These were the most popular book marketing tactics during the month of February 2013, listed below in alphabetical order:


Amazon Extreme Save 25% on 3 of our marketing services focused on Amazon.com. This package includes a Kindle edition of your book, participation in the Amazon Search Inside the Book, and Amazon Cover Enhancement.
Amazon Kindle Edition The Amazon Kindle is a revolutionary wireless reading device that allows its owners to instantly download books and newspapers. Only books that have been submitted to the Amazon Kindle via the required process and in the required format are available for Kindle readers to purchase and enjoy.
Barnes & Noble NOOK Submission Service There are OVER 2 MILLION books available on Barnes & Noble’s NOOK. If your book isn’t one of them, you are missing out on tapping a very important, and growing, market of readers.
Barnes & Noble See Inside Barnes & Noble’s answer to Amazon’s “Search Inside the Book” program. Books that participate in this program receive a “See Inside” icon next to their Barnes & Noble cover image, which invites potential customers to electronically “flip” through a small section of the book.
Book Review Submission Service Securing positive book reviews is the first step toward building word-of-mouth buzz for your book. Don’t have the time to send your own? Take advantage of the convenience of our Book Review Submission service. In addition to receiving a complimentary copy of your book, the reviewers will also receive a professional cover letter, a copy of your press release, and your sales sheet. We take care of all of that for you, including sending the review copy!
Book Video Trailer Be among the first authors anywhere to use online video marketing. The Book Video Trailer is like a movie trailer for your book. It’s cool, it’s hip, it’s NOW!
Custom Press Release Have our professional press release writer compose an original, unique press release for your book, submitted to you for your review/approval, and then distributed to our news wire service on your behalf.
EVVY Award Submission Winning a book award helps separate your book from the rest, especially when it is the coveted “EVVY Awards” and “Book of the Year” award, held annually by Colorado Independent Publishers Association (CIPA).
Marketing Personal Assistant Do you need help developing a book marketing plan? Arranging book signings? Establishing/developing your author platform?
Hire your own Personal Marketing Assistant today!
London Book Fair The London Book Fair is regarded by many as the most important spring publishing event and welcomes tens of thousands of attendees from all over the globe. Capitalize by exposing your book to key industry contacts like acquisitions agents, editors, and translation rights agents.

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHTTHOR SPOTLIGHT & SUCCESS STORY

“My research of several publishers was extensive. Outskirts Press not only surpassed my expectations. Both Jodie and Bridgette were very patient and understanding and answered every question with great knowledge and very quickly. My publishing team are a great asset to Outskirts Press. They all calmed my nervousness as well as made feel like I was there working beside them. I appreciate them immensely and will be coming to your company when book 2 Carved Mountain War is ready! I thank you, especially Jodie and Bridgette.” – Gregory M. Juzwick, author of Rising from the Ashes

Gregory Mark Juzwick was born in Tampa, Florida. Gregory was raised with his three brothers and sister by very caring and understanding parents. They moved to the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, area where he grew up most of his childhood. While going to Moon Senior high school he dabbled with his writing ability, creating poems, short stories and a novel called Phoenix, around the age of fifteen. After graduating from school, Gregory entered the United States Army for three years serving in Fort Benning, Georgia. Returning to Pittsburgh in 1986, he began his retail career in the Jewelry industry. In 1988, his family moved to Hendersonville, North Carolina, to assist his parents with their Jewelry store.
