Five Self-Published Authors Earn
Over $75,000
in Royalties From Outskirts Press in 3 Months
 On
the heels of Bowkers’ announcement that the
quantity of on-demand and short-run publications experienced
a five-fold increase in 2007, the fastest-growing
full-service publisher in the self-publishing sector,
Outskirts Press,
today announced that its top-five earning authors
combined to gross over $75,000 in
royalties in the first 3 months of 2008.
“Bowkers reports that traditional
publishing is flat while on-demand self-publishing
is growing at a staggering rate,” said Brent
Sampson, president and CEO of Outskirts Press. “Even
in the shadow of such competition, Outskirts
Press authors continue to demonstrate that it
is possible to be very successful. And as you can
see from our top five authors, some of whom granted
their permission to be mentioned by name in this article,
your chances increase if you adhere to some basic
guidelines.”
-
Write a good book.
No amount of marketing muscle can overcome a poor
book, but a good book can compensate for minimal
marketing through word of mouth. The viral and collaborative
nature of today’s Internet 2.0 makes anything
possible.
-
Get your book professionally
edited. Either have your book edited before
submission, or purchase the optional editing services
provided by your self-publisher. Since they strongly
recommend professional editing for every book, most
self-publishers will feature rates that are typically
less expensive than you will find yourself in the
open marketplace.
-
Get a professionally designed
custom cover. Your front cover has three
seconds to attract a buyer’s attention; and
since the majority of on-demand books are sold on
retail websites like Amazon and Barnes & Noble,
the cover is more important than ever. Just ask
Gang Chen, a top-five author in the first quarter,
whose book, Planting
Design Illustrated, features a custom cover
from Outskirts Press. The result? His first quarter
royalties far exceeded his entire publishing costs.
Now it’s nothing but profit.
-
Control your pricing.
On-demand and short-run publishing is the fastest
growing segment of the publishing industry, but
only a select few companies allow the author to
set their own pricing plan, retail price, and author
discount. Does that make a big difference? Just
ask Kathleen Mackenzie, whose book, Not
Manifesting? This Book is for You! retails
for just $9.95, and yet grossed enough royalties
in January, February, and March to earn a piece
of that $75,000 pie.
-
Market your book tirelessly!
Your destiny is in your hands and no one else’s.
Just ask Joseph H. Trimbach and John M. Trimbach,
top-five co-authors of American
Indian Mafia. “We are available for
speeches and presentations; our book was reviewed
in the May/June issue of South Dakota magazine;
and we appear live on radio news shows.”
 And
that’s just for starters. Marketing support
like Outskirts Press’ exclusive Marketing
COACH provides Diamond authors with promotion
advice and marketing suggestions via email for years
after publication. Four out of five top-earning authors
published with the Diamond
package.
“In this day and age of print-on-demand,
people are proving that anyone can ‘print’
a book,” states Sampson. “But what good
is that? Successful authors have the potential to
separate themselves from the pack by publishing with
a full-service, custom publishing company that provides
support before, during, and after publication.”
For example, in the first three months
of 2008 alone, Outskirts Press introduced three exciting,
new marketing services: the Global Book Tour package,
the PR Publicist, and the Book Video option, uploaded
everywhere from AOL to YouTube. These services are
available for published Outskirts Press authors to
request at any time from the convenience of their
new Author Toolkit in their Author's
Center.
So what do modest authors say when informed
they are among the top-grossing authors in the on-demand
industry? “How exciting!” exclaims Not
Manifesting’s Kathleen Mackenzie, who published
with Outskirts Press in less than 6 weeks, kept all
her rights, set all her pricing, and is now sharing
$75,000 first quarter royalties with four others.
Yes, exciting is a good word for it.
Share
the excitement! Start publishing today!
