WHAT CAN A MARKETING
COACH DO FOR YOU?
 With
the advent of on-demand publishing with companies like Outskirts
Press, it is easier and faster than ever to get your book
professionally published. Simply submit your manuscript to your
personally-assigned author representative, select from a menu
of optional upgrades (like copyediting and Library of Congress
numbers, for example), and in about 12 weeks your book is published
and available for purchase globally. You set the retail price
and you determine your royalty.
With most publishers, including traditional big-name
publishers in New York, the rest, as they say, is up to you.
It is a widely-held misconception that New York publishers market
and promote every book they publish. On the contrary, traditional
publishing companies have marketing budgets, just like every
other company. They apply the lion's share of their budget to
the few books they feel will pay back huge dividends. So if
your name is J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, or Dan Brown, you are
sitting pretty. Enjoy the ride.
 For
the rest of us, the responsibility of marketing and promoting
falls mostly on our shoulders. It is too bad publishing is so
easy and marketing is so hard, right?
Wrong!
The exclusive Marketing COACH at Outskirt
Press offers Creative Online Assistance, Coaching and Help for
books published under the Ruby,
Diamond, and
Pearl
publishing packages.
Beginning 6 days after your book is published
and continuing for years after publication, the Marketing COACH
is a valuable and necessary component of any successful publishing
journey.
The free Marketing COACH offers you resources,
tips, and tactics that many other publishers charge you thousands
of dollars for. When publishing with Outskirts Press, you will
receive:
 Some
publishers like to suggest that a guaranteed book review with
Kirkus Book Reviews is exclusive to their company. Not
so.
- Any author can get a book review written by Kirkus.
The Marketing COACH tells you how.
(In fact, we'll tell you how right now to dispel the mystery
and to thank you for reading this newsletter completely. Visit
Kirkus Discoveries at http://www.kirkusreviews.com/kirkusreviews/discoveries/index.jsp
to learn about the opportunity. This is just one of the hundreds
of secrets you will learn).
Other publishers like to suggest they are the only publisher
who can list your book with a best seller on Amazon.com. No so.
- Any author can pair their book next to a best-selling
book on Amazon. The Marketing COACH tells you how.
 If
you published your book with another on-demand publisher, don't
be embarrassed. It happens to the best of us. Now, join the legions
of authors switching to Outskirts Press for higher profits and
the exclusive Marketing COACH. In the majority of the cases, we
can keep your same retail price and increase your Amazon royalties
by over 100%. Give
it a try to see what you should be earning on Amazon with our

Lilly
and Me
"My
first books were published by mainstream publishers and
it should have been the most exciting thing to happen for
me, but wasn't. So I decided to try self-publishing. I did
a considerable amount of research before selecting Outskirts
Press. What a difference. We can't tell you how pleased
we are with the outcome. It is beautiful. There is a big
difference in on-line publishers. They are NOT all the same.
We know other authors who made wrong choices and regretted
it afterward. We know with Outskirts Press we will always
have a friend and ally."
