Reviews play an important role in making your literary journey successful. They act as social proof to make your book stand out in the crowd! Every one of us checks reviews of a product or service before buying it, then how are we expecting readers to buy our book without reading any reviews? Reviews are an amazing tool to decide between buying or not buying a product. In this blog let's discuss how you can get more reviews for your book:
Why You Don’t Get Many Reviews For Your Book
Readers read your book, but they forget to leave the review as they get occupied with other important things. Some readers think it is difficult to write a review, assuming the review needs to be long and fancy.
How Many Reviews Do You Actually Need?
You should aim for at least 30 reviews because it not only helps to build trust among the potential buyers but promotions work better too when your book looks established.
Types of Reviews
1. Bulk Reviews: Getting many paid reviews together.
2. Standard Reviews: These are the reviews from anyone who reads your book.
3. Higher Reach Reviews: This means reaching out to bloggers, influencers, or people with a strong social following and getting your book reviewed by then.
How to Get Reviews Without Feeling Pushy
Let's discuss the ways to encourage genuine readers to give reviews about your book without sounding desperate:
Ask Directly: Send a personal note to the readers requesting reviews. Your note can be like: “Thank you for reading my book. Your feedback and support are always appreciated, and it allows me to continue doing what I love. Please click on the link if you’d like to leave a review for my book.”
Social Media to the Rescue: Share posts about how reviews help authors. Let them know their review doesn’t need to be perfect, but genuine.
Add a Dash of Humour: Share memes about reviews because humor is a great way to nudge readers into action.
Why Reviews Are Important
Reviews help to boost the visibility of your book and more reviews also help your book to rank better on Amazon, which makes it easier for readers to find your book. Getting reviews helps you to boost the sales of your book, build connections with readers and make your book stand out.
