Dr. Gary Webb is one of my favorite “How to Publish and Market on Kindle” authors. His writing is clear, concise and easy to understand. All of his books are “Best Sellers,” which proves that he knows what he is talking about. If you get no other “review” book … get THIS one for sure. It is Number ONE on my Top Three List.

Be sure to check out Dr. Gary Webb’s other Kindle Publishing books.

 

This is number TWO on my Top Three List. The Savvy Book Marketer’s How To Get Your Book Reviewed is a solid and often times educating run through of how to get reviews. I especially loved the case studies.

 

Getting your book reviewed by the Book Bloggers may not get you a review ON Amazon, but it will get you reviews you can USE on your Amazon sales page and in your Author section.

If you are at all thinking about approaching book bloggers, you MUST get Kasey Giard’s book Reviews Wanted: An Author’s Guide to Effective Networking with Book Bloggers. Kasey is a book reviewer and blogger. She has written over 400 book reviews on her website The Story Sanctuary. Her book contains loads of information on what book bloggers are looking for and how to approach them.

Though there is a bit of overlap in each of my Top Three List selections, there is also something unique in each one that makes these three books an important part of your Book Publishing library. Reviews are CRITICAL to your level of success, don’t scrimp on spending less than $15 for these three books … a total of $15 could MAKE you thousands! I am NOT kidding.
