How to Get Book Reviews on Amazon KDP Using BookBounty

About this video

Sean explains how to get consistent Amazon KDP reviews using Book Bounty, a book-club membership where publishers upload books, read and review other publishers’ books to earn points, and spend those points to request reviews for their own books. He says plans are $25 or $45 per month, cheaper annually, with a 15-day free trial, versus hundreds or thousands for other services. He argues it avoids direct review swapping because once you review someone, your book does not show in their dashboard, though another person can review you, and warns using multiple similar services raises cross-platform swapping risk, so use only one. He walks through uploading a book, choosing unverified, Kindle Unlimited, or verified purchase reviews, browsing the bounty library, and starting a bounty, recommending a longer 7 to 8 day timeline and, on the plus plan, choosing specific marketplaces for foreign-language books. Upcoming features he mentions include verified-purchase pricing up to $9.99 instead of $4.99, plus paperback, picture, and audiobook reviews. His own method is to gather some organic sales alongside reviews, focus only on verified reviews, and request 3 to 5 reviews a day steadily. He recommends at least 10 to 20 reviews minimum, while claiming more reviews drive far more sales.

• His personal approach is verified purchase reviews only, requested steadily at 3 to 5 per day alongside organic sales
• He recommends at least 10 to 20 reviews minimum, choosing a longer review timeline and the correct marketplace for the book’s language
