Here are some suggestions to help increase the speed and reach of your reviews!
π Request a variety of review types
Requesting one type of review limits the pool of potential readers. To broaden your audience, consider requesting a mix of at least two types (Standard, Kindle Unlimited, and Verified Purchase are all great options). Every reader has their own preferences for review assignments, and by requesting a variety, you can appeal to a wider range of readers.
Keep in mind, Amazon is now limiting reviewers to 5 non-Verified Purchase (what we call "Standard") reviews per week. With that being said, it may take longer to find Standard readers compared to our other review types. If you already request Standard reviews, you may consider requesting VP and/or KU reviews, too.
π°οΈ Choose your turnaround time carefully
For books with less content like puzzle books and coloring books, a shorter turnaround time can be enticing to readers as they can earn extra snaps for completing the assignment quickly. For longer books (over 25,000 words), it may be beneficial to choose the longest turnaround time offered or a variety of turnaround times to accommodate all readers.
πUpdate your genre
Try choosing a different genre on your Book Form to see if it's more appropriate and popular in a different category.
π° Update your eBook price
If you request Verified Purchase reviews, you may consider running a free promotion to appeal to readers looking for free assignments, or you may consider increasing your book price to $4.99 as some readers enjoy the higher snap reward that comes with purchasing a higher priced book.
π Leave review requests open
Avoid canceling and re-submitting review requests. Our system prioritizes older assignments to ensure that all books receive reviews. Leaving assignments open increases the chances of your book being seen by more readers.
π Request more reviews
The more reviews you request, the faster our system can find readers for you. So, if you have any extra snaps at your disposal, don't hesitate to request more reviews. This will not only increase the speed at which your review requests are fulfilled but also expand your potential readership.
Thanks and happy reviewing!
