Ep 114: Getting Amazon Reviews That Sell More Books (The No-Cringe Guide)
If the thought of asking for Amazon reviews makes you break out in hives, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: reviews are gold for indie authors. They help boost visibility, credibility, and—most importantly—book sales. The good news? You don’t have to beg, bribe, or feel weird about it.
In this episode, we’re breaking down how indie and self-published authors can ethically and confidently get more Amazon reviews without feeling sleazy or pushy. You’ll discover:
✔️ Why Amazon reviews matter (and how they impact your book’s success)
✔️ Creative, no-pressure ways to ask for reviews that actually work
✔️ The power of social media, email, and direct outreach in gathering reader feedback
✔️ Common mistakes that keep authors stuck (and how to avoid them)
✔️ Real-world examples from indie authors who’ve cracked the code on getting reviews
