It can be a challenge to get your book noticed amid the hundreds of thousands of new titles published every year. With so much competition, reviews are one of the very best ways to boost book sales. Why are reviews, endorsements, and testimonials so critical to book selling success? 1. Book reviews get your book noticed, bringing it to the attention of people who might never have seen it otherwise. Each new review multiplies your exposure. 2. Reviews, endorsements, and testimonials offer "social proof" - they show potential customers that others think your book is a worthwhile investment of time and money. 3. Book review journals have a tremendous influence. In fact, librarians and bookstore buyers base many of their ordering decisions on reviews in the major book journals. By now you have probably heard the story of Amanda Hocking, who sold hundreds of thousands of her self-published fantasy novels on Kindle and landed a big-dollar contract with a major publisher. But did you know that she credits reviews on book blogs with helping to propel her book sales into the stratosphere? The more reviews you have and the more places your reviews appear, the more exposure and selling power you have. Because of the necessity of positive reviews to sell your book, I highly recommend you download "How to Get Your Book Reviewed," by a savvy book marketing friend of mine, Dana Lynn Smith. She helps take the mystery out of the entire book review process and guides you step-by-step to receive the best reviews to sell your book or ebook. You can read more about her essential ebook and download it today at: bit.ly/qsJLzx I also recommend my report, "How to Get Testimonials from the Rich and Famous" as a complementary tool to gain the most effective high profile reviews for increasing book sales and profits.
