Reviews can be one of the most challenging things for authors, so in today's video, I give some tips for getting book reviews specifically on the retail sites like Amazon (rather than in newspapers & traditional media). I cover:
- Why reviews matter anyway - social proof, big data, likelihood of further promotion
- Why you should always stick to the terms of service and get reviews ethically
- The short term view of reviews (wanting them on launch) vs. the longer term view of getting them over time
- It doesn't matter when you get reviews if you have a long term writing career
- Use a call to action at the back of your books
- Use Free to get more reviews - either KDP Select free days or permafree book on other stores and price matching on Amazon
- Goodreads promotions
- Book bloggers and pitching within your genre
- Using Amazon to find reviewers - or use AMC reviewer grabber (premium - my affiliate link: http://www.thecreativepenn.com/amc )
- Book review sites like Kirkus and NetGalley
- Using an email sequence on signup that asks for reviews
- Street teams and ARCs (Advanced Review Copies)
- Remember where you are. Your list will build over time, and so will your reviews. Don't get obsessed with it on launching your first book. Give it time!
