They just download and move on. Its such a disappointment. I have even tried giving my book away Jeff but a large percent still didn't offer a review even if it was an negative one and these people asked for the free copy.Pauline Hardinghttp://crockpotmeals.myreviewguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285913204707798277.post-6787617548839050952012-02-14T01:22:08.363-08:002012-02-14T01:22:08.363-08:00@Kelly ~ Fixed.

@Christin...@Kelly ~ Fixed. Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />@Christina ~ Reunion has been downloaded almost 40,000 times and only has 83 reviews. That tells you how low the percentage of readers actually post reviews, but they are critical. I think the best ways to get reviews is by giving your book away in return for a review and by soliciting book reviewers. I spent 100 hours planning my 45-day blog tour last year. The upside is, I had 20 reviews when my book was published. You are not alone, but you might need to invest a little more time in chasing reviewers… and a bunch of them.Jeff Benningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846791553554124991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285913204707798277.post-35849139490139854152012-02-09T14:43:28.301-08:002012-02-09T14:43:28.301-08:00Why are reviews such a problem?

Over 300 copies of "PGB" are out there, but only three readers left reviews...great five star reviews, but I agree with you, so few of them can't be helping my sales. It looks like I paid family to leave them...and ha ha, believe me, I'd HAVE TO pay my family to leave a review...they won't even read my stuff. Anyway, great article and thanks.CF Winnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007781832326693877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285913204707798277.post-31648359437189612672012-02-06T08:48:08.249-08:002012-02-06T08:48:08.249-08:00Ummm, regarding checking ad copy/proofreading one&...Ummm, regarding checking ad copy/proofreading one's work: you have a line that reads "If you have missed spelled words..." You might want to change that to "If you have misspelled words" ;) - otherwise, great article! Thanks for the info.Kelly DeWitthttp://ravencsmccracken.comnoreply@blogger.com
