Google is first, YouTube is second, and Amazon is third. You know what the third biggest search engine is? Proof that you have something to say, that you have the chops to say it, and that you can be engaging while you say it.Ī book without reviews isn’t necessarily a bad book, but it also won’t have the same appeal as a book that consistently gets rave comments. If a book has a solid number of reviews, a strong blurb, and plenty of customer feedback, it’s going to do better. People want to read books other people have read. If you had to choose, would you buy the book with 50 5-star reviews, or would you buy the one without any reviews at all? Which restaurant are you going to choose? You know nothing about the chef, and your only guideline for the food comes from the very basic menu posted outside the door. The other restaurant looks nice from the outside, but it doesn’t have a website, and you don’t know anyone who’s been.
One of them has two Michelin Stars, received glowing reviews on Yelp, and even has reviews on Google Maps. Imagine that you’re going out for a nice dinner, and you have a choice between two restaurants. You’ll get reviews, but they won’t be ones you like. I’m going to teach you how to get honest reviews, so if your book is not good, my suggestions will backfire. Quick note: I said “a good book.” All of my advice assumes you wrote a good book. If you’ve put in the effort to write a good book, then it’s worth taking the time to get honest feedback from your readers.
