Book Marketing Minute #18: Book Reviews

Welcome to today’s Book Marketing Minute #18.

?? Your read time today is a speedy 57 seconds. ??

Today, I want to highlight the incredible value of regularly reading and leveraging your book reviews. By keeping a close eye on your reviews and celebrating milestones like reaching 100, 250, 500, or 1000 reviews, you can showcase social proof and build credibility with potential readers.

Many non-authors don’t realize the importance of reviews, so don’t be afraid to ask your readers to leave one. A simple, friendly request can lead to a surge in reviews and help your book gain visibility and trust among your target audience.

Allow me to lead by example:

For example, if you’ve read one of my books, I would be grateful if you could take a moment to leave a review on your favorite retail platform. Your honest feedback not only helps other readers make informed decisions but also supports authors in their journey to reach more people with their message.

If you’re unsure how to leave a review or know someone who needs guidance, here's a helpful YouTube video that walks you through the process (specifically on Amazon).

By actively engaging with your reviews and encouraging readers to share their thoughts, you can create a buzz around your book and attract even more readers who are eager to discover the value you have to offer.
