3 New Ways that Authors can get more Book Reviews by Goody Business Book Awards

3 New Ways to get Author Book Reviews

To help authors promote their work, here are 3 new ways authors can get more book reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. The Goody Business Book Awards were created to help authors stand out in a sea of 46+ million books on Amazon. Getting book reviews can also make a huge difference in your Amazon sales and rank.

For authors, why would you spend a year or more writing a book, and then not promote it by encouraging book reviews, submitting to book awards and getting media interviews? When your book is published, your work is only just beginning.

When potential readers are deciding whether to buy your book, they often read reviews. Consumer also look at the number of reviews. So please read this blog because Book Reviews Really Matter!

So what are 3 key ways to get more book reviews?

1. Beg for Book Reviews

Yes, while it may be awkward, you must beg your family and friends to write book reviews for you. This ask is especially important when you first launch a book to build the initial buzz, but it’s never too late.  

Your friends and fans do not need to buy the book to write a review. They can also just give it a number ranking, and not write about it.

However, it’s best if they buy the book and write a paragraph because Amazon will highlight it as a “verified review”. These book reviews have more meaning and weight in the Amazon algorithm that will impact if your book shows up in their search results. Keep in mind that Amazon is a search engine like Google (we will share more to this story in another blog).

The other thing you should do is ask your friends and family to write the review using the SAME EMAIL Amazon account that they used to buy your book. Some people have multiple Amazon accounts, and if they write the review using a different account, it will not show up as a “verified review.”

Your book rank on Amazon will also get impacted by reviews. Your rank number is another thing that readers may check before buying your book. To become a bestseller, ask friends and fans to buy your book on the same day to drive up your rank. Anything that is ranked 1-100 in a category (example: Business Books, Public Relations Books, Health) is considered an Amazon Bestseller.

2. Do a Book Review Swap with Authors

Because authors share a common interest in promoting their books, you can also get more book reviews by offering to do an author swap. Simple, buy another authors’ book, write a book review for them, and then politely ask if they will write one for your book? You cannot make this exchange a condition for writing a book review for you. However, in most cases, authors will write a review in return.

Being an author can be hard, especially when trying to promote and attract book reviews. Most authors want to help each other. You should approach people who you already know, or meet an author event. For example, we’ve met many authors at the National Publicity Summit, where many are open to a book review swap. 

We also follow the #AuthorsSupportAuthors hashtag on Instagram, and are always looking for new ways to support other writers. The Goody Business Book Awards was specifically created for this reason to “Uplift Author Voices” above the sea of titles in their niche subject area.

3. Ask for Book Reviews during Media Interviews

The other thing that you should do as an author is nicely ask for book reviews during your earned media interviews on TV, radio, print and podcast interviews. This request may be harder to make on TV or live radio, but is pretty easy to fit into a blog or podcast interview that is more of a long form. 

During a podcast interview, when the host asks you at the end, “where can people find you?”, this is a great time to bring up book reviews. Simple give 1 website URL, and then ask in a humble way. For example, you might say, “We’d appreciate you if you’d buy our book and write a review on Amazon.”

BONUS TIP 1: Get Professional Book Reviews

As a bonus tip, you should also consider getting professional book reviews. An ideal scenario is a book review in a major publication like Publisher’s Weekly or Reader’s Digest, which are very selective. Many other book review companies offer professional book reviews for a fee, which we did for our “8-Second PR: New Public Relations Crash Course” in Book Life. They offer objective and credible reviews that can be quoted.

There are also many book bloggers such as Great Books Great Minds, where founder Michael Scott actively supports the community with inspiring author stories. If you can tie your book into a timely media topic, that can be a big help too. For example, Great Books Great Minds recently published a book review story about “The Wisdom of Morrie – Living and Aging Creatively and Joyously” by Son/Editor Rob Schwartz and Morrie Schwartz (beloved subject of “Tuesdays with Morrie”) for Fathers’ Day.

BONUS TIP 2: Nominate Your Book for Goody Business Book Awards by September 30th!

As a final bonus tip, consider nominating your book for Goody Business Book Awards by the upcoming September 30th deadline. There are 50 categories to give more chances to win a book award. And there will be a Winner and Finalist in each category.

You can then post your book award on your Amazon book page, which may also attract more sales and book reviews.

3 New Ways Authors can get on Top Podcast by Goody Business Book Awards and Goody PR Founder Liz H Kelly

3 New Ways Authors can get Top Podcast Interviews

To help authors promote their books and brands, here are 3 new ways thought leaders can get Top Podcast interviews, start their own show and/or Nominate Your Book for book awards from the Goody Business Book Awards. Audio (podcasts, radio and audiobooks) is one of the fastest growing mediums for authors to be heard and promote their work to millions of listeners.

The actual number of podcasts has soared since 2001, and has been widely reported to be between 3-6 million total podcasts worldwide in 2023. According, Listen Notes, “There are at least 3,135,384 podcasts* and 169,378,342 episodes in the world…. By contrast, IMDb has over 8.3 million titles (movies, TV shows, TV episodes), Spotify has over 70 million tracks, and  Audible has over 470,000 audiobooks.”

Bottom line, if you are not pitching Top Podcast hosts and/or hosting your own show, you are missing a huge marketing opportunity as an author.

So how can authors get an interview booked on a Top Podcast?

1. Find Top Podcasts within Your Subject Area

For authors and thought leaders, podcasts are one of the best ways to reach your target market. So if you write, speak or consult about health or wealth, or whatever your area of expertise is, search and pitch the top podcasts in your subject area.

The best way to identify a Top Podcast is to 1. Search for “Top Podcasts” and your “area of expertise”, 2. Read the Reviews and 3. Go to Listen Notes and search to see the podcast’s rating. For example, the Mindful Mama Podcast is a Top 0.5% Podcast on Listen Notes that is hosted by a parenting expert.

As an example, Goody PR recently booked Former GM, Leadership Coach, and Author Omar L. Harris on top podcasts as part of his overall public relations plan for the book, “Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss.” The campaign resulted 30+ podcast interviews, including being on the Top 1% Podcast “Living Corporate”.

2. Write a Catchy Subject Line and Pitch Email to Hosts

Podcasts Hosts get hundreds of emails a day from people who want to be a guest on their show. So you want to write an email pitch to the host or producer that has a really catchy headline that stands out. For example, write GREAT GUEST for XYZ Podcast in the email subject line so it’s obvious why you are reaching out to them.  

You also want to personalize the email with their first name, include the name of their podcast, and then explain how their podcast relates to your book or topic. You will gain extra interest if you actually LISTEN to a few episodes, and mention them in your pitch email. Compliments can go a long way here!

3. Make it Easy for Top Podcast Hosts to find Your Specific Topic and Support Materials

And when the host or producer opens your email, make it really easy for them by providing a main topic that you want to discuss, potential questions, headshot photo, book cover image and a short bio. Remember, the podcast host does not always have time to research your work and read your book, so you must tell them immediately how you can offer helpful tips to educate their listeners.

You also want to send media support materials in a Digital Press Kit. Simply create a Google Drive folder, set the access to “Anyone with the link can download”, and include instructions. Do not attach images to an email, unless specifically asked. Otherwise, your email may get deleted as potential jun-k mail.

BONUS Tip 1: Start Your Own Podcast as an Author

Along with getting interviewed on top podcasts, authors should consider starting their own podcast to promote their books and brands. Recently, we spoke on a Podcast Panel at the SPEAKonomics conference in Orange County, California, Hosted by Toni Caruso about Why Speakers Should have a Podcast. 

The Moderators were Amber Beels (eWomenNetwork Podcast Network) and Eric Beels (eWomenNetwork Podcast Network), and the two panelists included Kelly Mobeck (Host and Life Coach from Let’s Be Honest Before We Start Pretending Podcast) and Goody Business Book Awards Founder Liz H Kelly (who spoke about lessons learned from setting up her 8-Second Branding Podcast with VoiceAmerica and 8-Second PR (2nd edition, this 2022 version is filled with new podcast tips).

Everyone recommended hiring a professional team to get started. They can guide you on your overall topic strategy, recordings, editing, show graphics, distribution and so much more.

Hosting a show is great for networking with other experts in your area because you can invite them to be your guest. Many hosts will offer to do an exchange (example: If you have me on your show, I’ll have you on my show), so it’s a win-win.

BONUS TIP 2: Nominate Your Book for Goody Business Book Awards 

And to give yourself even more credibility as an author, nominate your book for Goody Business Book Awards by the upcoming September 30th deadline.

A book award is one of the best ways for authors to stand out amongst the 46 millions authors on Amazon. Top Podcast Hosts will be more likely to interview you if they see that you are an Award-Winning Author.

So increase your chances of being interviewed on Top Podcasts by using this publicity strategy and author tips today.

To maximize your book SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as an Award-Winning Author, one of the best things you can do is post your award on your website. When some does a Google search for award-winning books in your subject matter, you want your book to be on top of their search results.

For example, “I Love Me More” Author Jenna Banks posted this banner on her website with Goody Business Book Awards recognition for her Self-Help – Memoir (one of the most popular and competitive categories) as a Finalist.

3. Publish Book Awards Seal on Your Cover

To stand out in a sea of 46 million+ authors on Amazon, Award-Winning Authors can also add the book awards seal to their cover. The seal is a visual that can help your book catch someone’s attention when scanning through books in a specific genre. For example, Goody Business Book Awards Winner and Finalist David E. Edey (“Executor Help”) tweeted this banner with the seal on the cover. His publisher, Friesen Press, also posted it on Instagram.

7. Create a Custom Book Award Video

Award-Winning Authors can also create a video to share their book award with fans. YouTube is the second largest search engine behind Google, and is owned by Google so that is a great place to post videos to increase your SEO.

To support all Winners and Finalists, the Goody Business Book Awards created a new Playlist on the Goody PR YouTube Channel, and is sharing a video a day for all 45 categories over the next six weeks. We got this idea after attending the Midwest Emmys® in Minneapolis, where our Goody PR client’s 20 minute Pioneer PBS story won a regional Emmy®, and then the host tweeted individual videos by category! You catch watch the Goody Business Book Awards YouTube Playlist that lists all related videos together, so fans can watch them one after another.
