Two new reviews appeared at my new book\u2019s Amazon page this weekend\u2014both 5-star reviews. Excellent.<\/p>\n
The book is, “Promote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author.”<\/p>\n
One reviewer says: \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a combination road map, recipe and shopping list for developing a marketing plan for your book, this is it. Be prepared to take notes. The information will be coming at you rapid-fire like popping corn in an open skillet.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also says: \u201cIf you don\u2019t emerge from reading Promote Your Book<\/em> with at least a couple dozen new ideas on how to market your book, you haven\u2019t been paying close enough attention.\u201d <\/p>\n Another author wrote: \u201cThis is a \u2018must have\u2019 book for all authors in today\u2019s publishing world.\u201d <\/p>\n So how do you get reviews for your book posted at Amazon and other places? Ask for them. <\/p>\n \u2022\tKeep track of your customers and ask them if they would write a review of your book\u2014or at least give you a brief one-liner you can use in promoting it. For example, \u201cApple Betty says: \u201cI couldn\u2019t put it down.\u201d Or Sam Strong calls this book, \u201cAbsolutely delightful and really funny.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2022\tAsk friends, neighbors, co-workers and others who are avid readers or who can relate to the theme or genre of your book to read it and comment.<\/p>\n \u2022\tInvite experts and professionals within the genre\/topic of your book for a written or verbal review after they have read it.<\/p>\n \u2022\tSend your book to reviewers in your genre\/topic as well as to some general reviewers. Many of them today will accept the e-file.<\/p>\n Sure, you\u2019re taking a huge chance when you start asking for reviews, that\u2019s why you want to present the best book possible. So good reviews start way before your book is a book. How can you ensure good reviews?<\/p>\n \u2022\tWrite a book that is wanted\/needed. Once you\u2019ve produced the best book that you can, following advice from the professionals in your field\/genre, it is pretty much up to the reader\/reviewer after that. Some will love your book, others will be mildly interested in it and still others may have strong issues with it for some valid or even unfounded reason. Authors have no control over sour grapes or unreasonable prejudices, for example.<\/p>\n If you have a book in the works or in the marketplace, do yourself and your project a huge favor and purchase my book today: Promote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author<\/strong><\/em>. http:\/\/amzn.to\/oe56Ia<\/a> <\/p>\n Check out all of the 14 five-star reviews.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.patriciafry.com<\/a> Two new reviews appeared at my new book\u2019s Amazon page this weekend\u2014both 5-star reviews.
