Social Media Market Research
$99
When you're choosing between strong options, get another perspective before making the final call.
With Social Media Market Research, we'll create and promote a poll that invites our community of authors, readers, and publishing-minded followers to weigh in on a decision about your book.
Use the feedback as another source of insight as you choose a title, cover direction, tagline, or other important element of your book.
Get Reader Input Before You Make the Final Call
Choosing between two strong titles, covers, taglines, or other creative directions? Get input from our online community before you make the final call.
You Don't Have to Make Every Decision Alone
Sometimes the hardest publishing decisions come down to two or three choices you already like. Social Media Market Research gives you an opportunity to hear what other people respond to before you choose.
Which Cover Would You Choose?
Author Maria Alice Silva Amey used Social Media Market Research to invite readers to weigh in on two possible cover designs for Beautiful Moon.
A real example like this lets you see how your own publishing decision can become an engaging question for potential readers.

We'll turn the question you want answered into a poll designed to introduce the decision, provide relevant context about your book, and invite participation.
Ask. Share. Learn. Decide.
You bring the decision. We turn it into an opportunity to hear from potential readers and members of the publishing community.
Tell us what decision you want feedback on and provide the choices you want compared.
We present your question with enough book context to help participants understand the choice.
Your poll is promoted through our Facebook presence and Self-Publishing News blog to encourage participation.
See how participants respond and use their preferences as another input in your final decision.
“The poll showed a clear winner…Outskirts Press was instrumental in me choosing it, just when I needed it most.”
Barry Damsky, author of Get My Drift?
The Feedback Informs the Decision. You Still Make It.
A poll isn't a guarantee of how the broader market will respond to your book, and the most popular choice doesn't have to become your final choice. Think of the results as an additional perspective that can help you evaluate your options with more information.
