Thank you, Sean. I will give bookbounty a try. I was looking at Pubby, but I will see how bookbounty works first. I might move to Pubby once my audiobook is published. 🙂
Hi Sean, thank you for your video-it was really helpful! I know there are several review platforms available, and I was wondering what your thoughts are on using different platforms that collect reviews at once. Would that pose any risk of getting banned by Amazon? Apologies if this is a silly question-I've crammed a lot of your videos but I’m still quite new to all of this. Thank you so much!
Book bounty .... Yeah not something you want to try. Worked with it and had horrible results, very poor experience and users there leave reviews that dont even belong (positive but stupid)
Hello Sean. Recently I have been publishing children’s books that I had written 40-50 years ago. I’m 83 so I guess you could say I’m the Gramma Moses of the literary field. When I was having difficulty formatting a prose and poetry book, my grandson sent me a link to you. Your videos and instructions are extremely clear to understand. I have 4 children’s books published but a little slow on reviews. I see you have videos on that aspect of being an author also. My son’s name was also Sean. He passed two years ago after a long illness at 56. Again, before this missive turns into a book on its own, I would like to thank you for your help and kindness in relinquishing your knowledge.
You sound like an awesome person I wanna start writing book and I came across your comment and loved your spirit I hope I become someone like you God bless you 🙏❤
Thanks for this! I am doing this backwards -- I already published and I got two sales without any marketing, so kinda excited about that :) I came over here for marketing tips and you didn't disappoint. Thanks :)
Hey Sean! Would you consider making a video about how to build an email list (and an audience in general) so that eventually I, and I'm sure many other subscribers of yours, don't have to rely solely on sites like Bookbite and Pubby? Thanks!
FYI ,Get book reviewed would not allow my Sudoku book. It has to have as much written content as a children's book. Pubby worked though, Thanks Sean. This is gonna be a huge help!
Hi, what category did you choose on pubby for you Sudoku book? Im Planung something simular but with a Word search book but dont know which category to choose at the beginning.
I got a book of poetry called Digging for Wordly Treasures... not selling right now but I see the long game. Its out and the generations to come can get it until it stops existing I dont mind if I do 10 or a million sales ;) its fun
Thank you for sharing such great insights.. Although I started with KDP years back but did not eat anything.. now I'm serious about it and wish to earn and your videos are a great learning source.. gratitude to you
Thanks for making the time to share such valuable information. Your tips and information shared here is of great value. Definitely, I look forward to joining your program sometime soon.
Well, a few years ago, I hired a ghostwriter, got professional book covers made and paid for Amazon Ads. I made 20.00 from two fiction books. I failed due to lack of marketing. Marketing is so crucial. This time around I plan to build an email list first so that these books do not end up in the Amazon graveyard.
Great information as always. I watch your videos from beginning to end - no fluff or filler just great information for book authors on how to sell, get reviews etc on Amazon
Thank you Sean! Really appreciate this. Regarding the process, is it 1) Join platform for reviews 2) Launch book on KDP 3) Ask for reviews with a link to the book before it goes live?
I might relook into doing this as a business venture. I paid hundreds of dollars on a self publishing course about 7-8 years ago and I hated the way the tutor taught us about getting reviews. He basically said to hire from India using Amazon vouchers and they would leave reviews of a book they hadn't even read and with bad english written reviews. It got so bad in the end these hired people (if you can call paying via an amazon voucher true employment) started to blackmail the publishers for money saying if they didn't get what they demanded they would rewrite the reviews giving 1 stars. I just gave up and moved on and never even got the book review problem sorted as I refused to go that route. So my venture bombed. I can't bear that kind of model where I would be manipulating, harassing, and deceiving people from start to finish in every step.
Hi Sean!, I was wondering when giving away a free eBook for promotional purposes to prevent unauthorized distribution, do most authors use a watermark inside their books, or they just leave the eBook pure for the best reading experience? I'm very new about book promotion
Listen, I just started a coloring book alias and found you as I am trying to learn how to market. As I fear, it is a pay to play game along with bringing something to the table. Thank you so much for your help and inspiration. I hope to win my freedom soon.
Great video! On these services, I assume you need to buy the other publishers’ books to review them? That would add expenses of doing this to the monthly fee. Or can you somehow review others’ books without actually buying them? Thanks!
Hi Sean! Great video. I have a question. Amazon is rejecting my few last reviews, because of unusual reviewing. Do you know how often we can leave reviews in order to this not happen? Thanks
Just to make sure I understand it correctly, I will send them a pdf of my book and they can review it on Amazon, even they didn't purchase it thru Amazon? Tnx a lot for all the great content!
You failed to mention that uploading an Advance copy of your manuscript (ebook) on these sites, means you're literally(pardon the pun) handing over the distribution rights to total strangers, no watermarks, no way to track the use of your book. It would be helpful if you would alleviate writers fears here in this area. Thank You!
Oooor.... who cares? If you're watching this entry level training chances are YOU aren't distributing anything anyway. Go ahead and maintain tight control over who distributes your material... nobody will ever read it.
Hi Sean, great video as always! I wanted to ask, do you think video ads on Amazon are effective for books? I'm looking to get a book trailer made for my novel but want to know if it's worth it before I proceed. Thanks.
Hi there, be careful about review swapping. Yes Amazon will terminate your accounts for that. On our platform we have an algorithm that prevent this. This means user "x" can't review user "a" if user "a" already reviewed one of user "x" books. Give us a try! A community of authors helping authors!
I just dont get this - you upload a PDF of your coloring book (cause obviously there is no EBook), someone reviews it. Great. BUT. They didn't Buy it. It's therefore not a verified Review. The Amazon algorythm Sees no purchase but a review. Four of those reviews and you get ba banned... What am i missing?
Is it safe to send them a PDF, I have an email list but I'm not sure if some competitor will get my book and stole the idea or copy it etc ..what to do in that case please advise !
As I understood it, you send them a copy of a published manuscript for review. What he recommends is to start doing reviews for others before you publish your own.
Hi Sean, Thanks for videos. I find them straight forward and easy to put into practice! Does it matter if the reviews are verified or unverified on Amazon. Thanks
Hey Sean! Can you tell me how can one review a book on Amazon without having to buy it? Does Amazon even allows this? Even if i send the pdf to a friend will he be able to review it just like that?
Hi there, try us! You can definitely add your low-medium or high content book on our platform. We accept all kinds of books, a community of authors helping authors. Give us a try!
Do you have a video how to offer free/discounted books for reviewers. I have coloring and other medium content books. So reviewers will have to get a real copy of the book. How does that work?
Hi Sean, how do these services work for low/ no content books (Eg. Diabetes log book). Do we need to send a copy of our book for people to see and review?? I'm wondering....Could you pls explain that.
I can tell you right now that Getbooksreviewed doesn't "encourage" low content. Pubby is fine with it. You just upload your file. I have an activity book on there right now and someone is currently reviewing it. Not sure about the other one.
Hi there, on our platform you can upload your book file, add only your listing link or do both. You select books to earn InkDrops and you'll earn InkDrops when you review others. With those InkDrops you'll be able to ask to be reviewed. The cost to ask a review and the rewards are based on the length and the price of the book. Try us!
Hi there, using platforms like ours should not be considered "paying" for reviews. You will improve your organic ranking with the action going on your listing, you will give credibility to your book with reviews, you will be more noticeable on the Amazon listing page with some reviews (book with no reviews tends to receive less clicks, even if you do ads).
I've got a question regarding reviews. As you said I would habe assumed that most reviews left through the sites are positive if your book is good, but what if it isn't? I requested to review a book with stories for children, but the book is just really bad. Is it better to leave an honest review or to cancel the review request? I don't want to harm another author but I also don't want to lie and leave a 4 star review for something that should have 2 at most...
Hi there, good questions! On our platform we suggest to cancel the selection and just select another book. We think that everyone deserve at least a 3 stars constructive review from a fellow author. If you think it's so bad that it should not receive a 3 stars with a constructive review, we suggest to choose another book. We think having no review at all should ring a bell to the other member and he/she could improve things instead of receiving a really bad review from a fellow author. Also, on our platform you can leave a private comment to your fellow author, there you can help another member from the community.
i don't understand this. how come i need to pay for monthly fee, in the meanwhile I need to purchase books, give them reviews, just to get points, which does not equal to getting my book reviewed. Because your books have to be picked, purchased, reviewed at the same time! It's like more difficult to achieve on Amazon even with money paid. And you have to give out a full version of your book LOL
If I have 100 people that I send an ARC copy to should I? And can I do it via an newsletter service in mass or do I neeed to send the request out one email at a time?
Hey Sean. Thanks for all your helpful videos. I created a pubby account with your code, but the website won't let me start reading to amass snaps. On the readr/library page, nothing happens at all when I click any genre or any of the top book categories. And their contact us support is via bot only and useless. There is no email escalation. Any ideas?
You need to upload a book in order to start leaving reviews. You can upload any book you have, if you have no book it can just be a simple journal. Their support is good just send them a message
this is great, but how would I use (can I use?) any of these review sites with medium content books such as activity books, coloring etc... ? Thank you.
Hi there, try us! You can definitely add your low-medium or high content book on our platform. We accept all kinds of books, a community of authors helping authors.
Sean ... What if i don't want to read other people's books, will I still get reviews on my books? I am mainly interested in activity books and can't read long books. I don't mean to offend anyone and i respect other people's work but i have troubles being focused for too long and this is why reading is difficult for me. Long story short ... Will i get people to review my books? ( My books are activity books by the way)
Sorry if i missed it, but can you please explain how family /friends can review your book if they buy it? I heard this was not allowed and can get your account terminated
Hi there, following Amazon policies you should not ask your family to leave a review. Those 2-3 reviews are not what you want, you also want genuine reviews to help you grow as an author. Try us, we have 10 days free trial and a 0.99$ plan to start.
Hi there, All books can be uploaded on our platform. To tell you the truth you should republish your book to give it a little boost, and after you have a new ASIN, you start promoting it and get reviews.
Sean, how about low content book reviews? I have published 10 books since June and average 15-20 organic sales a month. But no one leave reviews? Should I gift friends with Amazon accounts t ask for a review?
A question please, if you give out books for free to get some reviews, you have to pay for them to distribute in the first place. So sending 100 books for lets say 9$ would mean 900$ So spending 900 before earning anything makes no sense to me. My main incentive to do this is to earn money because I am a low wage earner and I want to get rid of this cycle. So spending some money, which is big enough for me to make some money makes no sense to me. I would appreciate any insights, or tips which I can start without being forced to spend anything for my first book.
Hi there, on our platform we only reward new reviews. That said, you could have read the book 4 years ago and never left a review. As long as the dates from your submitted review is similar to those in our system. Try us!
Great video Sean! I have a question. Can i Do it for high-content paperback books? It works like I send them a Digital PDF before relase and then after the book is live they have possibility to write a review on amazon? Does it apply to other marketplaces like germany, france? Thanks and wish you the best!
Hi there, On our platform you can add any kinds of books. Your book needs to be published to be added, asking for reviews before it's published will not be possible. People needs to leave a review to earn their points so your book needs to be able to receive reviews.
Is it a red flag to amazon if you're all of a sudden aggressively reviewing a lot of books through one (or more) of these platforms, but do NOT have a history of leaving book reviews?
In my experience, the return from ARC is abysmal. Are there any review sites that don't rely on you also doing the reviewing? I don't have a lot of time on my hands to be reading all these books 😬
Thank you for amazing recommendations! I belive I've seen the question before but sorry for asking again: is it allowed to make several Pubby accounts with different email adresses - to promote the same book?
They will block you if you do this. I accidentally created a new account, forgetting I'd done one before and they very quickly blocked both accounts until I resolved it, still charging me in the process. I don't much care for the customer service... but perhaps they've gotten better
@@SeanDollwet how do you manage the fact that, if using all the 3 together, you would end up leaving an enormous amount of reviews from your personal Amazon account? How do you avoid getting Amazon to block your reviewer account?
Pubby requires you to upload a book first before you can start reading other people’s content and start earning points. So do you recommend just uploading and asking people to add their reviews several days later when you launch? You mentioned a delay between reviewing for others and getting reviews at time of launch. How does that work with some of these settings?
These services are designed to get additional reviews once book is published but you could easily upload other books like a simple journal just to get approved by Pubby before your main book is live
Hi there, seems about right. You're not just getting reviews, you are improving your organic ranking with traffic on your listing, you're gaining credibility with reviews to help you gain clicks and sales on your listing. Keep in mind that not all books are high content, so reviewing books like a coloring book is not as long as reading a novel. On our platform the price and the length of the book will affect the rewards, so reviewing and buying a high content book will give you access to maybe 2-3 reviews in return. Try us!
*Update* - I've been using this new review site and it's been working well for me: ► seandollwet.com/bookbounty
Give me a review. I am a beginner
Thank you, Sean. I will give bookbounty a try. I was looking at Pubby, but I will see how bookbounty works first. I might move to Pubby once my audiobook is published. 🙂

Will i get people to review my books? ( My books are activity books by the way)
Sorry if i missed it, but can you please explain how family /friends can review your book if they buy it? I heard this was not allowed and can get your account terminated
Hi there, following Amazon policies you should not ask your family to leave a review. Those 2-3 reviews are not what you want, you also want genuine reviews to help you grow as an author. Try us, we have 10 days free trial and a 0.99$ plan to start.
Hi Sean, will this work on books that have already been published for a while with no reviews or sales or is it only new books?
Hi there, All books can be uploaded on our platform. To tell you the truth you should republish your book to give it a little boost, and after you have a new ASIN, you start promoting it and get reviews.
I had some people say amazon wouldnt let them review unless they bought a bunch of other items - is this true?
it used to be you had to have spent over $50. That may still be the case. Its to stop people joining up just to leave reviews for friends etc
Sean, how about low content book reviews? I have published 10 books since June and average 15-20 organic sales a month. But no one leave reviews? Should I gift friends with Amazon accounts t ask for a review?
A question please, if you give out books for free to get some reviews, you have to pay for them to distribute in the first place. So sending 100 books for lets say 9$ would mean 900$ So spending 900 before earning anything makes no sense to me. My main incentive to do this is to earn money because I am a low wage earner and I want to get rid of this cycle. So spending some money, which is big enough for me to make some money makes no sense to me. I would appreciate any insights, or tips which I can start without being forced to spend anything for my first book.
is it possible to get points for books you've already read?
I don’t think so. There are plenty of other books you can review though
Hi there, on our platform we only reward new reviews. That said, you could have read the book 4 years ago and never left a review. As long as the dates from your submitted review is similar to those in our system. Try us!
Great video Sean!
I have a question. Can i Do it for high-content paperback books?
It works like I send them a Digital PDF before relase and then after the book is live they have possibility to write a review on amazon?
Does it apply to other marketplaces like germany, france?
Thanks and wish you the best!
Yeah u can
Hi there, On our platform you can add any kinds of books. Your book needs to be published to be added, asking for reviews before it's published will not be possible. People needs to leave a review to earn their points so your book needs to be able to receive reviews.
What is the best method to get reviews on your books which requires no funds?
then it would be - organic reviews :)
How many reviews I can leave on Amazon per week without purchasing books...as I am using free download option of these websites
Hi Sean , is Pubby only for high content books or for low contenet as well?
Hi there, you can upload any kind of books on our platform. Try us!
So if I get 100 sales for my audiobook as an author on Audible, does ACX pay me for those same 100 sales every month or is it a one time payout?
Doesn't it interfere with the Amazon algorhythm if people are reviewing your books that aren't your ideal customer and wouldn't buy your book?
Is it a red flag to amazon if you're all of a sudden aggressively reviewing a lot of books through one (or more) of these platforms, but do NOT have a history of leaving book reviews?
In my experience, the return from ARC is abysmal.
Are there any review sites that don't rely on you also doing the reviewing? I don't have a lot of time on my hands to be reading all these books 😬
Thank you so much for all your amazing content!
Why I cannot write a review??
well, pubby dont work outside the US.
Yes it does
Thank you for amazing recommendations! I belive I've seen the question before but sorry for asking again: is it allowed to make several Pubby accounts with different email adresses - to promote the same book?
They will block you if you do this. I accidentally created a new account, forgetting I'd done one before and they very quickly blocked both accounts until I resolved it, still charging me in the process. I don't much care for the customer service... but perhaps they've gotten better
@@terrenea.davenport7155 Thank you so much for clarifying my question!
You can only have one pubby account. But you can have one pubby, one get books reviewed, and one bookbite
@@SeanDollwet how do you manage the fact that, if using all the 3 together, you would end up leaving an enormous amount of reviews from your personal Amazon account? How do you avoid getting Amazon to block your reviewer account?
@@Mariaelena865 you can have multiple amazon account so lots of people have one account for each
Pubby requires you to upload a book first before you can start reading other people’s content and start earning points. So do you recommend just uploading and asking people to add their reviews several days later when you launch? You mentioned a delay between reviewing for others and getting reviews at time of launch. How does that work with some of these settings?
These services are designed to get additional reviews once book is published but you could easily upload other books like a simple journal just to get approved by Pubby before your main book is live
@@SeanDollwet Good idea. I had not even thought of that!
Made a word document
but can we review others books without buying it?
Hi there, yes you can!
Sean. Will this work for coloring books?
That's what I'm wondering
So close to 100k subs
Let’s get it 🚀
@@SeanDollwet
@iartol it is 100K now :)
@@VisitLiveLoveMauihe deserves it 🎉🎉🎉
Did I miss something Sean? For me to get 100 reviews I would have to read and review 100 books!!!
Hi there, seems about right. You're not just getting reviews, you are improving your organic ranking with traffic on your listing, you're gaining credibility with reviews to help you gain clicks and sales on your listing. Keep in mind that not all books are high content, so reviewing books like a coloring book is not as long as reading a novel. On our platform the price and the length of the book will affect the rewards, so reviewing and buying a high content book will give you access to maybe 2-3 reviews in return. Try us!
