Update #23: The #1 Way to Get More Reviews
7 months ago – Mon, Sep 18, 2023 at 06:47:42 AM

Authors are always asking me how they can get more reviews on their books. 

The top way is to make sure you ask them on a regular basis. 

I’ll share more of what I mean later on in today’s update. 

In fact, let me demonstrate this tactic in action. 

Currently, even though we’ve sold close to 1,000 copies of Self-Publishing and Email Marketing

We only have 19 reviews on the Amazon U.S. store. 

Here’s an excerpt from a 5-star review posted by Meg L. 

“Highly informative with an engaging writing style. I felt like *I* was being coached by Bryan. Just superb. Definitely a MUST BUY!” 

Could you please take some time between now and Friday to post a review on Amazon?

Here’s the link to the book. 

Thank you so much! 

See, that wasn’t so bad, was it?

Sending out an email on a quarterly basis requesting that your readers review your book is a painlessly simple way to boost your reviews. 

You’ll want to make it easy for your readers. 

Including a link and an excerpt of a review that’s already there can make a huge difference. 

What are some other tactics you can try?

1. Include a “can you leave a review” email in your Automatic Email Sequence. 

2. Start an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) team with an automated sequence of its own to post reviews to one of your series starters. 

3. Ask a friend in your genre if you can do an ARC team swap with you sharing a copy of their book to your ARC team in return for them sharing yours. 

What’s your best tactic for getting more reviews?

Feel free to post a comment here on this Kickstarter update with your own strategy. 

Thanks so much for supporting this book. 

I hope you have a wonderful week! 

With Love, 

Bryan

Update #20: Ad Challenge & What’s Left
over 1 year ago – Mon, Jan 09, 2023 at 06:42:00 AM

Happy January! I hope you’re having a great start to your 2023.

Today, I’ll update you on the SP&E project, which has two reward holdovers left from last year.

But first, I just want to remind you that our quarterly free event begins this week.

The Free 5-Day Author Ad Profit Challenge has been featured by Amazon and even led to me taking a trip to Seattle last month to visit the Amazon Ads team.

Tens of thousands of authors have taken the free course with free videos and free support because it helps them to better understand book profitability.

Want to jump into the upcoming event?

Click here and register to join us starting on Wednesday!


We’ve got two items left to send out.

To a select few of you, we’ll be getting you our Vault of emails by the end of the month.

To everybody, we’ve been making progress on our audiobook edition and we’ll send it to all of you by mid-February.

Our apologies for the delays on those two items.

Now, if you haven’t gotten the ebook, the paperback, or other things you may have ordered that we’ve already sent out…

Drop us a line at [email protected] and we’ll make sure to get you your goodies.

Thank you again for your amazing support.Have a fantastic week!

Sincerely,

Bryan
