How to Get HUNDREDS of Reviews for Your Books on Amazon KDP

About this video

Sean Dollwet presents a guide to getting hundreds of Amazon KDP reviews, stressing that the strategies only work with a high-quality book. He says non-fiction buyers are trying to solve a problem, so a book must identify the reader’s pain point and actually solve it; satisfied readers then reciprocate by sharing and reviewing. He advises asking for reviews at multiple touch points — notes at the start and end of the book and follow-up emails — rather than asking once. He also recommends building an email list and offering advance review copies via Booksprout, posting in relevant, active Facebook groups to offer a free copy in exchange for an honest review and following up about two weeks later, using Pubby, where authors earn ‘snaps’ by reviewing others’ books to request reviews for their own (which he says is structured to avoid direct review-swapping), and using a done-for-you publisher launch service with tiered packages. He claims he built a multiple six-figure KDP business that he sold, as stated in the video.

Key takeaways

• Quality comes first: a book that solves the reader’s stated problem earns positive reviews; a poor book will attract negative ones regardless of tactics.
• Ask repeatedly at multiple touch points — inside the book at the beginning and end, and through email follow-ups — instead of asking once.
• Build an email list so you can offer free advance review copies, for example via Booksprout, before launch in exchange for honest reviews after publication.
• Join relevant, large and engaged Facebook groups, offer a free PDF copy for feedback, then follow up after about two weeks with the Amazon review link.
• Paid options include Pubby, where reviewing others earns snaps to spend on reviews for your book, and a done-for-you launch service whose packages he describes as delivering set ranges of reviews in 30 days.
