Today's caller seeks advice on how to get more reviews for their ebook.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1537
A listener is self-publishing on Kindle Direct Publishing and hopes to drum up reviews. Can she contact customers who’ve left reviews for other authors in the same genre?“Hey there Chris. This is Jamie from Oakland and I found your show last year and have been enjoying the content and puns. My question is, can I contact people who leave online reviews? I’m self-publishing a novel using Kindle Direct Publishing, and I have an idea to contact people who’ve left positive reviews for authors in a similar genre. Can I offer them a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review? It seems like they’re the perfect readers for me, but I don’t want to get in trouble with Amazon… Looking forward to hearing from you.”Listen to today's episode to learn more...
