Tips to Successfully Target Your Marketing at Different Generations using Online Reviews

Welcome Back!

When I spotted the infographic I’m sharing today, I just knew I had to post asap. I, like many authors, are constantly in search of reviews. I know how many books I sell and I also see how many reviews I have received from readers. Because of this I am aware that only a small fraction of purchasers/readers leave reviews. I find this really interesting as my primary customer for my books is other authors. They should know the importance of reviews and be more willing to leave a review than the average purchaser.

As an example, my most recent release (pictured above) has sold over 300 copies on Amazon.com alone, yet it has yet to receive one review. Frustrating!

I found today’s infographic on Digital Information World – one of the blogs I regularly read. I encourage you to visit the site and read the whole post.
