Reviews are King – Book Marketing Pt.2
Reviews are king. Books with good reviews sell way more copies than those that haven't. Even when you do a free giveaway more people will download a book with positive reviews than the same one with none. (See my A/B testing post). Getting Reviews You don't want to rely on people who buy your book leaving reviews. There are two reasons why not. Without reviews you won't sell many copies Very few people review products (compared to the numbers that download/buy it) So you need to do some research.

The call operator even claimed that we'd not had anything delivered from a wish list since last summer.…

Perfects serialised
Perfects, the first part of the Exodus Series, will be serialised every Friday and Tuesday for the next few weeks.
