How to Get Book Reviews For Your Book — For Free
7 ways to find fans who love your book and want to tell others about it
“How can I get book reviews?” It’s a question every writer asks — from the first-time author to the bestselling novelist. Getting book reviews is worth the effort, particularly if you’re selling your masterpiece on Amazon.
Look at it from a different point of view for a moment. When you are considering plopping down money for a book, don’t you want to read what other people say about it? I do. People like to know what other people think. A review reveals how your book affects readers and helps them. They are an example of social proof — feedback from real people about a book.
And when the book has 18 reviews or 42 reviews or 117 reviews (rather than one or two) then I’m even more convinced that I MUST read this book. So many others have already done so and have taken the time to post their opinion about it. As your book accumulates reviews, you create momentum to build readership for your book.
But how do you get started? With purposeful planning, you can get book reviews for your book for free whether you’re a new author or an established one. I’ve used these simple tips to get plenty of reviews for my self-published books. Try them.
