The Fastest Way to Get Book Reviews on Amazon KDP

About this video

Sean argues the fastest way to get KDP reviews is the service Book Reverb, rather than slowly building your own email/social audience, mining Facebook groups for ARC readers, or using other review sites. Book Reverb, he says, has tens of thousands of readers; you upload your ASIN/URL and manuscript, top up a balance, set how many reviews you want and bid per review in an auction system. The minimum bid is $6; he typically bids about $7, raising by cents if needed, or $8-$9 for speed. You pay only for an Amazon review, not for private feedback — he cites 160 reviews versus 1 free book report on his dashboard, 48 reviews at 4.9 stars on one book, and 67 audiobook reviews at 4.9 stars via ACX promo codes, where price is set by length not auction. On compliance, he stresses this is his own understanding: readers are paid to read, paid regardless of reviewing, and not forced to leave positive reviews. He recommends a steady pace of 10-15 reviews a week rather than 100 in 2 days, and still building your own list long-term.

Key takeaways

• Book Reverb puts a book in front of its existing reader list, avoiding months of audience-building
• Reviews are bought via auction: $6 minimum, Sean typically bids ~$7 and nudges up slowly
• Private feedback/book reports are free; you pay only when an Amazon review appears
• Sean’s compliance rationale: readers are paid to read, not to review, and reviews are not required to be positive
• Aim for steady reviews — Sean suggests 10-15 per week — rather than a sudden spike
