How to Get HUNDREDS of Book Reviews on Amazon KDP (Actually Works)

About this video

Sean shares the two paid methods he says he uses, besides his own email list, to get Amazon KDP reviews. Method one is BookReverb: readers in its database receive a PDF of your book (submitted via its ASIN) and can leave an Amazon review or a private book report; you only pay when you get a review. It works on bidding — $6 is the lowest bid — and you set a review goal; he gives the example that 100 reviews at a $6 bid costs $600. He says his account shows 72 reviews and one book got 48 reviews with a 4.9 average rating, but most BookReverb reviews are unverified. Method two is BookBounty, a points-based membership starting at $25/month: you earn points reviewing others’ books and spend them on reviews for yours, structured through a third person so no one directly swaps reviews. BookBounty is slower and takes work (some hire virtual assistants) but lets you request verified reviews and specific marketplaces like Amazon UK or Germany. He uses BookReverb at launch for speed and BookBounty for steady, verified reviews, claiming the pair can realistically reach 100+ reviews in one to two months.

Key takeaways

• BookReverb: pay per review via bidding starting at $6; 100 reviews at that bid would cost $600, per the creator’s example.
• BookReverb is fast and hands-off but most of its reviews are unverified because readers get a PDF rather than buying on Amazon.
• BookBounty starts at $25/month and runs on points earned by reviewing others’ books, with a third-person structure to avoid direct review swaps.
• BookBounty allows requesting verified reviews and reviews in specific marketplaces such as Amazon UK or Germany, but is slower and more work.
• Creator’s combined approach: BookReverb at launch for speed, BookBounty afterward for steady and verified reviews.
