NEW TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE THE REVIEW PROCESS: As we learn more techniques to promote our books, it may be time to rewrite our Group Goals and procedures. After reading the recent post from Tim Grahl (Hacking Amazon), I, personally learned two things (so far).
1. In addition to scheduling a Free eBook eVent for generating 100 Reviews, we should consider scheduling a quick follow up eVent, to request that members visit the site of the Amazon and Goodreads Reviews and to VOTE for the helpful reviews.
We are told that those votes are tabulated by Amazon, similar to Reviews and in their eyes, a POSITIVE Review of a POSITIVE Review is just as important as the original Review. We'll need to work up a simple procedure for inviting our friends to VOTE for excellent Reviews.
2. I also learned that it is possible to request that unfair reviews and reviews with ulterior motives to be deleted by Amazon.
3. Here's the link again. I'll be taking more notes and reaching out to Tim for more information and marketing ideas. http://outthinkgroup.com/hacking-amazon
