As an author, it’s hard to ignore the impact that Amazon has on today’s book-buying consumers. It is critical for readers to be able to find your book on Amazon, including an electronic version of your book. Why not take advantage of the rise in popularity of Amazon and Kindle and get a competitive edge right off the bat?
It’s never too early to start thinking about marketing your book. Here are three tips for increasing your sales on Amazon:
- Accompany your print edition with a digital edition. The majority of book buyers still prefer hardcopies, but the popularity of the Kindle ebook device is not to be overlooked. Ebook sales account for roughly 30% of all book sales, and Amazon has a 65% share within the ebook market. Authors who offer both print and Amazon Kindle editions are reaching out to two different demographics – and markedly increasing the pool of potential book buyers who view their book.
- Grab readers’ attention. A compelling summary of your book and a snazzy cover are essential to making an impression on readers. Make sure the description you supply for your book adequately describes what the book is about and makes potential buyers want to read more.
- Let buyers sample the merchandise. Once you’ve got readers’ attention, keep them hooked by offering a sample of what is inside. With Amazon Search Inside, book buyers can browse through a portion of your book online.
You can use these three tips to maximize your book sales potential on Amazon! And Outskirts Press makes it easier than ever with the Amazon Extreme package, which includes: 1) an Amazon Kindle Edition of your book, 2) the Amazon Search Inside the Book service and 3) Amazon Cover Enhancement.

Collette Jackson-Fink has been writing stories since she was 13 years old. She’s written several short stories, poems, a screenplay with some published. A Persian Gulf veteran, Collette works as a Respiratory Therapist at a trauma medical center in her home state of Iowa with her husband of 31 years, son Alex, daughter Ashley and four grand-children.”A quiet little city in the Midwest town of Waterloo, Iowa is about to come to life…with angels! When an earthquake measuring seven hits Waterloo, a huge black pyramid shaped tower pushes it’s way up through a corn field in Blackhawk County spinning the city into the national spot light. It’s thought that the ‘Black Tower’ is dormant, but when special tactical teams are sent inside to investigate, special team member Dane Coles is confronted by the impossible…a beautiful creature that has been cursed and cast down into oblivion within the Garden of Eden, using the ‘Black Tower’ as a doorway to the surface…”
