    Pubby used to be effective until Amazon started removing reviews. And most readers who are supposed to purchase the book In order for you to get the verified purchased on your book never actually bought your book. Some never even read it.

    If you are sending people the PDF or a real copy of the book and they aren't purchasing it how are they able to leave a review? Don't they have to be verified buyers of it before they can review it?

      @RowYourBoatGently Рік тому +8

      Not sure if this answers your question but if a reviewer purchases your e-book for $0 when you offer a limited-time promotion, their review will display as a "verified purchase" even though they paid $0.

  • @GoPro._Musica
    @GoPro._Musica 2 роки тому +6

    Problem with leaving a statement at the beginning of the book asking for said reader's review is I would be afraid that it would remind the unhappy reader that ended up not liking the book to leave a review. Such as a Horror fan that ended up reading a Fantasy book and found that it really wasn't their cup of tea. So no, I'm not sure if I would want to leave a note at the beginning of the book.
    I have a reminder at the end of the book, along with an illustration that hopefully if they made it that far they will see it and will be reminded to leave a review.
    Because there's an old saying, if I don't like something don't remind me about how much I dislike it.

    • @Financiallyfreeauthor
      @Financiallyfreeauthor Рік тому +3

      The thing is, negative reviews can bring in sales. If an unhappy reader complains in a review that it was a genre they don’t like or a trope they don’t like, readers who do like those things will see it and be sold because that’s clearly an honest review. Don’t let the fear of negative attention prevent you from getting positive attention!

    Good video Sean, useful thoughts and ideas in there, but it has raised many questions for me, echoed by others in the comments below which you have not yet responded to. I think it would be good if you would provide answers to the more common questions, e.g. unverified reviews, email list creation etc. Like others, I was staggered by the high price charge for reviews on PLP. Wow, can't justify that for medium content books I'm making at a £4.99-£6.99 price point.

    I know as an ex FBA seller getting reviews at the beginning can be a nightmare and I'm not one to pester friends and family plus amazon will come down on you fast if they detect anything fishy. I generally sold my products at a significant discount, did my ppp campaigns and once I hit say ten reviews I'd increase price. You need verified reviews. Non verified are pretty useless.

      @@rizwan2730 This goes way beyond persevering. To be successful, you really need a huge load of money. The reason young people like Sean are able to make it is that he wasn't financially independent when he started the business, plus not as many bills. That's really the best time to start. I've invested $20,000 in this business and to date, only got $500 back. I gave up my care, liquidated my retirement accounts, and dropped down to low-income housing to try to make this work. Like really? How much do you really need to persevere? At this point, it's not about perseverance, it's about survival. Now it's become an obsession like gambling. If I hadn't already invested $20,000 and all the time, life savings, and retirement savings, I would have backed out a long time ago. I keep telling myself that it will get better and keep "persevering". Things will get better all the while I'm getting more in debt because you need to pay for ads to make this work. I've paid for top-notch writers, editors, and formatters, thinking if I "invest" more money in it, that it will pick up. My word of wisdom is, don't get involved unless you have a sh1t load of disposable income or, you're financially dependent on someone with a sh1t load of money. Then you have people charging $3,000 for these "publishing" courses making you think that you will be successful after taking the course . SMH

      No, it's perfectly allowed by Amazon. You can put a QR code in your book.

    How do I offer my book for real reviews if it is only paperback (not eBook)? Do they have to purchase the book or can I provide a free book somehow from KDP.

      You need to offer your book in digital form. Wouldn't really work for a physical book unless, like Sean said, you offer a Free promo for your book, either digital or physical. Yes, you will take a loss on revenue, but then you will gain reviews which should in turn, in theory, lead to more sales. It's a gamble, honestly. And it depends if your book is considered "high interest".

      @@lisajmccarthy1 I contacted KDP and they told me that they do not allow low content books on Kindle. You might want to double check with them or they may terminate your account for uploading it. They may have changed the rules since I talked with them. I had my account terminated because an artist used a copyright illustration for one of my story books. You don't want to find yourself in my situation. If there is any doubt then take it down, its not worth the risk IMO.

    Hey Sean.. please answer me
    I've recently published my first book on Amazon and took your advice to share a free PDF copy with people in groups on facebook to leave honest reviews on Amazon in return...
    but people are keeping warning me to do that cuz if I had reviews more than sales, Amazon will ban my KDP account
    is that true😢

    On the issue of restaurant cleaning, it depends on the restaurant's policy. If the restaurant is "Self Service", customers will clean the table and bring the plates to a designated area. It's not a status symbol, entitlement, or a cultural thing.
    Examples of different policies in Filipino restaurants are:
    Pay as you order
    Clean as you go (self-service cleaning after dining)
    Self-service (from ordering to cleaning)
    Fast food restaurants and the majority of restaurants, especially inside the malls have cleaning crews, so the above policies do not apply.

      mine did that 3x. it was so annoying. it was because of the bleed/trim size. i swear i followed their dumb guidelines to a T. i ended up using templates from LULU and finally got approved. I swear their numbers make no sense LOL i love math and calculations. it's literally part of my job for over 15 years is creating graphic files for printing. i duno why their #'s just dont add up and worse is their online PREVIEWER approves it!!! and then u have to wait 3 days to find out it's NOT actually correct. i hope they fix that soon very disappointing from amazon.

    As a local guy, I don't think Americans have a bad reputation here, especially during the US base time. It takes two to tango. Women looking for jobs and men looking for pleasure. The thing "bad reputation" is popularized by activists.

    not to rain on anyone's parade but here's few points: first, considering your book good or not is highly subjective; you might think that you wrote something great and it might look like trash to someone else's; secondly: if i recomend a movie i liked, yes, my friend might watch it, but doesnt mean my friend will BUY IT; thirdly: no one wants to be bothered by email messages just because they liked a book, so no, I wouldnt give away my email adress to a writer, and the whole social media begging is way dead by now, so apart from your mom; no one will give a shit 'bout yer work. Reviews are hard to come by and that's the sad reality.
