The Power of Book Reviews—How to Get and Leverage Them
If there’s one thing that can make or break a book’s success, it’s reviews.
When I published my first few book, I was so focused on writing and publishing that I completely overlooked something crucial—getting reviews.
I assumed that if people liked the book, they would automatically leave reviews. Big mistake. Even the most enthusiastic readers don’t always think to write one unless they’re reminded or nudged.
It wasn’t until I actively started asking for reviews that things changed. The moment I had a few solid reviews on my book’s Amazon page, my sales picked up. Readers trust other readers, and reviews are proof that a book is worth their time and money.
In this chapter, I’ll share:
Why book reviews matter (and how they influence sales)
How to get more reviews without being pushy
What to do with reviews once you have them
If you’ve been struggling to get reviews for your book, don’t worry—I’ll walk you through the exact steps I use.
