Prime Amazon Marketing Advice from Outskirts Press

As the only #1-ranked and A+ rated self-publishing company*, Outskirts Press lists, distributes, and sells its books on Amazon through a variety of technical and highly-effective ways (read yesterday’s post to see how).

That means authors self-publishing with Outskirts Press have access to all the advantages and book marketing benefits Amazon offers, which can make all the difference once your book is published. Some of these benefits include:

  • Amazon KDP: Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform empowers authors to create and sell e-Books. Outskirts Press authors publishing under the Ultimate Black and White and Ultimate Full-Color packages are automatically enrolled in KDP with eBook editions of the books that we publish for them.
  • Amazon Advantage:  Amazon Advantage is a suite of book-selling tools to help authors distribute books to Amazon’s other channels, such as the Kindle Store, Audible, and the Kindle Unlimited program. Outskirts Press authors publishing under the Ultimate Black and White and Ultimate Full-Color packages receive automatic distribution in the Kindle Store; optional AudioBook publication is available for distribution to Audible; and our eBook publishing process explains the pros and cons of joining Kindle Unlimited.
  • Amazon Author Central: Authors who publish their books through Outskirts Press can create an Amazon Author Central profile. This allows them to manage their book’s metadata, set up author alerts, and connect with readers. Outskirts Press marketing services can help their authors with this, too.

Outskirts Press also offers a variety of free and paid marketing services to help authors promote their books on Amazon. These services include:

  • Amazon Book Marketing: Outskirts Press offers a variety of Amazon book marketing services, such as Amazon email campaigns (Amazon’s Featured Book-of-the-Week, for example) and free guides with tips on getting Amazon book reviews and offering Amazon giveaways.
  • Amazon Author Page: Outskirts Press can create a professional Amazon Sales Page for authors who publish their books through the company.
  • Amazon Search Inside the Book: Outskirts Press can add the Amazon Search Inside the Book feature to authors’ books. This allows readers to preview the content of books before they buy them.
  • Amazon Launch Bundle: All the Outskirts Press marketing services rolled into one for the ultimate in convenience and effectiveness.

Prime Amazon Self-Publishing from Outskirts Press


Outskirts Press is a full-service self-publishing company that partners with Ingram Wholesalers and its global partners to publish, list, and sell self-published books on Amazon and its worldwide retail websites.

When an author self-publishes their books with Outskirts Press, the books are automatically made available for sale on Amazon.com and its worldwide suite of book-selling retail websites, like Amazon.ca in Canda and Amazon.co.uk in the United Kingdom, among others.

How does Outskirts Press combine the zero-hassle power of print-on-demand with the maximum convenience of drop-shipping to deliver the easiest, fastest, and highest quality publishing services to its thousands of satisfied authors?

  • Providing metadata to Amazon for zero-hassle: In collaboration with Ingram and its partners, Outskirts Press provides Amazon with “metadata” for all of the books it publishes. Metadata is digital information that includes the book’s title, author, ISBN, BISAC, description, and cover image. This metadata helps Amazon (and other global retailers) index the book and make it discoverable by customers around the world.
  • Drop-shipping to Amazon for maximum convenience: When an author publishes their books with Outskirts Press, the books are “stored” digitally and securely under the ISBN with all their related metadata. When a customer orders a book from Amazon, the book is printed and bound to professional standards and shipped directly from the printer, rather than from the author or publisher. This saves time for everyone and the buyer receives the book as fast as possible without the author having to worry about inventory, packaging, or driving to a postal office.
  • Drop-shipping directly to the author and to readers: Authors publishing with Outskirts Press can enjoy the convenience of zero-inventory by having access to their own online book ordering process through their password-secured Author’s Center. They can order books in quantities of as low as 5-at-a-time for quick printing and shipping directly to them, or for direct delivery to anywhere. Readers purchasing from the Outskirts Press bookstore or from the author’s webpage receive the same delivery times as they would from Amazon (sometimes even faster), and the author worries about nothing.
  • Amazon marketing: Outskirts Press can provide a suite of book marketing advice and services geared toward maximizing Amazon sales.
