BookBounty Just Unlocked Global Reviews – Here’s How to Use It

About this video

Sean, who claims over $1.7 million in royalties, explains BookBounty’s new feature letting authors request reviews in specific Amazon marketplaces instead of accepting reviews from any marketplace. BookBounty is a membership site where you review other authors’ books to earn points/bounties, then spend them to request reviews for your own books. Targeting a specific marketplace costs an extra 300 points, or is free on the Plus or Pro plans. He argues this unlocks translations because international reviews were previously hard to get. From his experience the best markets in order are Spanish, German, French and Italian, with far less competition: ‘ketogenic diet’ has 30,000 results on Amazon.com vs 2,000 on Amazon.de, with German books shown making €65, €225 and €248 a day and one with 67 reviews making €42 a day; ‘relaxing word search for adults’ goes from 20,000 US results to 261 in Spanish, with a 3-review book making $77 a day. To translate, translate the interior, title, description and seven backend keywords, hire a translator or use AI plus a native-speaker proofread — he cites about $300 for 30,000 words for Spanish on Fiverr — recreate the cover with the translated title, set the correct language on upload, and choose the primary marketplace: .com for Spanish, .de for German, .fr for French, .it for Italian.

Key takeaways

• BookBounty now lets you specify the marketplace for reviews for an extra 300 points, free on Plus/Pro plans, instead of any-marketplace by default
• Sean ranks translation markets Spanish first, then German, French and Italian, and says translations are among his top sellers
• Competition drops sharply abroad: ketogenic diet 30,000 results in the US vs 2,000 in Germany; Spanish word search 261 results vs 20,000 in English
• Low-content books are easiest to translate — mostly title, description, backend keywords and little interior text; keep the same cover design with a translated title
• Use AI or a translator but always hire a native speaker to proofread; bad translations risk quality and the account
