The EASIEST Way to Get 100s of Book Reviews on Amazon KDP (Updated Tutorial)

About this video

The creator argues reviews must come before pushing sales because they lift conversion, and presents advance reader copies as the underlying method behind most review strategies. For authors without an audience, he recommends Book Bounty, a service where authors read and honestly review each other’s books to earn points they can spend on reviews for their own books. He explains its design as avoiding direct swaps by inserting a third reader, and says recent Amazon guideline changes make it risky for a service to let authors identify, block, or report their reviewers. He advises joining before publishing so points are banked for launch, aiming for at least 15 reviews at launch and working toward 100 before judging a book a flop, while still building an email list and audience for the long term. Pricing mentioned is a 15-day free trial, then $25 per month or $15 per month on a yearly plan. He stresses positive reviews cannot be guaranteed; the only legitimate route is a good book.

Key takeaways

• Use advance reader copies: give a free book in exchange for an honest, unbiased review, not a promised positive one
• On Book Bounty, earn points by reviewing other authors’ books and spend those points to request reviews for yours
• Check any review service against current Amazon rules: direct one-to-one swaps are prohibited, and authors should not be able to identify, block, or report reviewers
• Sign up and accumulate points before publishing so reviews can arrive during the launch window instead of delaying it
• Treat 15 launch reviews as a minimum starting target per the creator, and aim toward 100 before deciding a book failed; build your own audience in parallel
