Awesome video, Julie! I've kvetched about the $50/12 months policy, but if it keeps the bots out of the reviews, I'm totally behind it now. Thanks for the enlightenment.
I get it - on the surface the rule seems like it's a money grab by Amazon but when you dig into it - it's actually the best way they can stop a bot farm from creating a bunch of fake people to write reviews. It's a good thing!! Thank you for commenting the day a video was released! Our final live before our summer break is going to be happening at 1:45pm PST on Tuesday, July 2nd.

Hello, you mentioned Reader's Favorite as a service to use to get book reviews. If you use their paid service option, can their review(s) be posted on Amazon? Thank you.
I had forgotten about the $50 dollar spend rule. But I really have to take pause with the family/friends reviews. I have had many friends (old classmates of 50 years ago) buy my book and they have left comments. So my question becomes - how close of a friend and how would Amazon detect them all? Anyway, great tips as always.
They want reviews from people who purchased and reviewed your book. They can remove removes if they find someone is your friend or family. The reviews just disappear without an explanation.
It totally sucks people have to spend $50 with Amazon in order to leave a review... I could easily get 30+ genuine reviews but they don't so on Amazon (neither do I) 😠
I get it - I do shop at Amazon and couldn't even imagine I know 30 people who don't but I understand why people don't like it.

If they post it - yes. Readers Favorite is more of an editorial review service though.
Never enough reviews! Thank you for your great videos!
Thank you, as always, for watching and saying hello.
So many hoops for an Amazon review! Thanks for breaking this down, Julie.🙂
You are so welcome!

They have a very smart algorithm and they own Goodreads. A lot of people connect their social media to their Good reads accounts.
4:45 “those kind of things”?
Comments that fall into those categories - yes "those kind of things" :)
What is the average cost to use a book reviewing company?
Some are really low (like under $20). The ones that are editorial reviews are as high as $750.
@@BookLaunchers thanks for the info.

Thanks for that info. Now I know why they say I don't qualify. 😅
