You have a book and want to boost sales, great! How many reviews do you have?
Reviews are key to getting more sales because people want to know if your book is worth their money (always a first consideration) and time (strong second consideration). They will read your book’s review on Amazon and Goodreads to see what other people say about your book. You need reviews.
Okay, how do you get reviews? You can take the time to research book reviewer websites and blogs to see if they review your genre, what their backlog is (typically 3-4 months out), create a spreadsheet and then send out your emails and wait. OR you could spend a few bucks and sign up for review book tour with sites like TastyBookTours.com , CoffeeTimeRomance.com , NightOwlReviews.com , GoddessFish.com , InD’Tale Magazine Reviews . These sites will, for a nominal fee, take your book’s information and ARC and send it out for review with their current reviewer list. The reviewers then list a review on their website and Amazon. Some will list the review on multiple sites. Nice huh?
And don’t forget about Goodreads. Their main goal is book reviews! It’s free to sign up and put your books out there for your readers to find. (Don’t ignore Goodreads advertising and giveaways – great way to get attention!)
This is the best way to receive unbiased reviews and get a social media promotion going for your book as well. Check out these sites for other promotional opportunities like book cover reveal tours or featured author spots.
