Does anyone have any ideas how to gently encourage
readers to put a review on Amazon? As
you may know I have self published a couple of ebooks and initially made them
both available for free in the hope that would get the word out.
Lush Ice Cream was downloaded for free
about 1,700 times and 219 Tips nearly 3,000, a handful of each have been
borrowed by Prime members and both have sold a few copies for small amounts of
money (£2.25 and 77p respectively). So
out of say 6,000 readers I got 20 reviews (and one said my style is
condescending - me, the sweetest new food writer ever to live on this side of
the road in my village! What do you think; am I condescending?).
In keeping with other ebooks I have read,
at the end of 219 Tips I have asked people to review on Amazon but with very
little result. Has anyone any ideas?
Talking of book reviews - see here where I review "Breakfast for Dinner" by Lindsay
Landis and her husband Taylor Hackbarth.
Lovely weather down here by the way - my
friend Carol and I actually had coffee sitting outside in the sun in Padstow
yesterday and there is blackthorn all over the place. The pictures not very clear but the blue bit in the
background is Padstow harbour.
If you have any answers to either of my dilemmas please leave a comment.
