In this short book, one you can read in about an hour, you'll learn the ins and outs of the Amazon reviewing culture. From an insider's viewpoint, the author tells you what you need to do and what you must absolutely not do when asking for reviews.He makes a point several times of not having your friends and family do reviews for you. For reviews to be reliable and helpful they must come from someone unrelated to your book or product, otherwise you may appear to be an untrustworthy seller. The author reveals that the top reviewers, readers, and buyers on Amazon will look at other reviewers' statistics to see if they are legitimate, or only "padding the reviews."In this booklet, he provided a resource link to find reviewers on Amazon. He tells you why it's not a good idea to ask the top reviewers to write about your product. He also gives advice on how to find a reviewer's true identity when he or she is using a pseudonym. It's not as hard as you might think.Overall, this booklet gives excellent, common sense advice, with some tips and techniques thrown in to the mix.I received a copy of this book through a Goddess Fish book tour in exchange for an honest review.
