Getting good reviews on Amazon.com can definitely help you sell more books. Here are some tips for increasing the number of reviews:
- Whenever readers email you with positive comments on your book, ask them to submit a review on Amazon.
- Ask anyone who has provided a testimonial or foreward for your book to post it on Amazon. Alternatively, include these comments in your Reviews section.
- If you teach or provide seminars, ask your students to post a review if they liked your book.
- Include a request for reviews on your website or blog. Â
- Make it easy. Include a direct link to your book’s Write Your Own Review page. You can find this by clicking on the Write an Online Review link on your book’s detail page.
 And now for two “don’ts”:
- Â Don’t bribe your readers to write good reviews. It’s acceptable to offer a small thank you for taking the time to write a review (such as a free report, bookmark, etc.), but don’t offer anything of any significant monetary value in exchange for a good review.
- Don’t create fake reviews. It’s often easy to spot these and they damage your professional reputation.
 So now I’m going to take my own advice. If you’ve enjoyed reading The Web-Savvy Writer, I’d love for you to let other Amazon customers know about it. Just go to The Web-Savvy Writer Write Your Own Review page and enter your review.

This is so true and when ever I tell anyone this, they are always surprised. Every author should be keeing a list of people who buy their books and following up with them, they can also just email them to ask them for the review. I have done this and it works. Keep up the great blog!
