I consider getting reviews, one of the most important goals an author should …have when launching their book. In addition, early reviews seem to matter …a great deal on Amazon. When you put your book up if you wait …around for people to review it, you're really not taking control and being …proactive of the situation. If you can get an early review that's …positive, then there's a greater chance, it's just human nature, that other people …are going to like that review. And that's going to keep that review …higher when people go to that page to look at your book.…
It becomes self-sustaining. Let me give you a few pointers on reviews. …They are useful for blurbs. You can actually pull out information …from these and use them in the marketing of your book and that's what blurbs are. …Normally you would have the book reviewed ahead of time by someone and the more …famous the better, of course, where they make a very positive comment about your book. …So, reviews can be used to help future marketing of your book. …
