“I don't think I could ever forget the day my book arrived. I was so pleased, I felt like I had accomplished something substantial in my life. My wife was dancing with my kids, my kids were so happy, I felt like I had won the lottery.

Outskirts Press will always have a special place in my heart. I was so reluctant and unsure about self publishing, I had heard nightmare stories from other authors regarding companies who were not so caring and delivered a C-grade product. Looking at my book and its quality, I knew I made the right decision. The front and back cover look absolutely wonderful. The first question anyone ever asks, 'Who is your publisher?' I here compliments from everyone that looks at my book. I have already started to write my second book, and I know where I am going to get it published.

A job well done. Thank you Outskirts Press for all the help and assistance in getting my book out in the market. Anyone looking to get a book published, Outskirts Press is the place to go. Thank you!” - Jamai Haquani, author of...

The Power and Pitfalls of Social Networking

Blogging, social sites like MySpace, and video sharing sites like YouTube have added incredible opportunities for authors to promote themselves and their books. Blogs are very powerful - with the click of a button you can begin publishing your opinions for the world to see. By their very nature, blogs are the opinions of their authors. While it is easiest to believe everything you read on the internet, it is each person's responsibility to make up their own minds through further investigation.

As you consider writing a blog about your book, understand the power you wield, and wield it gracefully. One of our popular authors, Carla Sarratt, has a recent blog about her book Freshman Focus called Keeping Up With Carla.

YouTube is an equally powerful marketing tool. Upload a video, or a series of videos, and instantly expose your book to a whole new demographic of Internet surfers. If you don't have a book video for your book, Outskirts Press authors can get a book video made for them... just ask the Marketing COACH how. One busy YouTube community belongs to one of our authors, Nahu, author of UFOs: God from Inner Space (among others.). His YouTube community is called Holoversal Lifestyle, and received over 100,000 clicks in the first month. Nahu has the following recommendations when you consider marketing with videos:

  1. Keep the videos moving and interesting
  2. Stay away from over-intellectualization or vague symbolism
  3. Keep the message and comments positive

Speaking of book videos, here are just a small sample of the many, many book videos we have helped our published authors produce and distribute worldwide on networking sites like YouTube, MySpace, Google, Yahoo, and others. Learn more about getting your own book video by contacting the Outskirts Press Marketing COACH after you publish with Outskirts Press. Press the play button to watch them.
