Larry Seeley (lfseeley) | 27 comments Bill- I'm reading the PDF, but I'll go to Amazon and purchase a Kindle (even though I don't have a reader). I like Revenge and will be finished by the end of today. Good job.

You sold 10,000 copies and you have 16 reviews? And none of those reviews discuss what the book is about. Very generic. Per Amazon your rank is 603k. How is it so high with that many sales? Impossible. Getting reviews work, that's how people decide to buy your book. You're not having any sales, why not just try it?

Your book is doig better than Larry's.


message 911: by Larry (new)

Larry Seeley (lfseeley) | 27 comments Gypsies came out in 2010. First sale was for a book signing--not with Amazon. Amazon is not the only outlet for books, despite what many authors believe.

I don't think Amazon is the only outlet, but when you DO use Amazon as an outlet you have to use the marketing tools that work with it. The same thing doesn't work for everything. And book reviews work for getting sales on Amazon. How would you know that it doesn't work? Have you tried it? If it's just what you THINK then you should say that, because it discourages other people for you to make such a statement as if it's factual.

I'm just not convinced that swapping reviews is of any consequence. If I write a middle of the road review of your book, will you write a ten-star review of mine? And what is it worth? A review can tell an author a lot about his or her novel. We all think we write better than the next person, but we all can't be right.

Hi Bill:

I tried to get your book, but it's not available on Amazon US in Kindle. I tried to get it from Amazon UK, but was told it was not available to US, and unfortunately, the print version, at $12.00 is too expensive for my $1.99 swap. I'll wait until you have it available on Amazon US.

Best!

Kristy Gillespie | 1 comments Hi everyone,

I think this is a great idea! Due to time (and money!) constraints, I can only agree to purchase, read and give an honest review of books I'm really interested in (especially YA and short stories). Check out my YA thriller Jaded:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00II0UUSQ and let me know if you'd like to consider swapping. I can also be contacted by email: Feltenk@hotmail.com

Craig Furchtenicht | 87 comments Would love to do review/purchase swap with ebooks of similar price and genre.

Night Speed Zero motley collection of short stories than span the horizons of fiction between horror, dark humor and the absurd. Take a spin with an eternal wanderer as he feeds on the suffering of others. Cringe as an elderly war hero faces a pack of bullying teens that have forgotten the age old rule, respect your elders. Go to church with a do-unto-others style of communion that will leave your ears ringing. Realize that rooting for the home team is not everyone's idea of a good time, especially when psychoactive drugs are involved.
No matter what your preferred genre might be, this collection is sure to keep you guessing and will absolutely find you begging for more.

Message me if you are interested.

As soon as you've read it, please tell me where you you like it posted, ie: amazon, barnes and noble etc.

message 945: by Nikki (new)

Nikki Barrett (trulynikkiness) | 4 comments Great thread going here! I am an author of contemporary romances, some with suspense elements. My reading tastes are fairly eclectic. I'd be interested in swapping reviews...as long as I swap with someone at least likes contemporary (Had a bit of a fiasco recently, giving out a book to review to someone who isn't even a fan of the genre...)

What I could use reviews on the most at this point are

A Masterpiece of Our Love

and The Melody In My Head which is actually book 2 in a series, but it's a standalone, though if you want the first one I won't turn down reviews for that one either Baby Stetson

You can PM me, reply to the thread (And hopefully I see it) or email me at nikkilynnbarrett@yahoo.com to inquire about a swap. Thanks y'all!

Nikki

message 948: by Larry (new)

Larry Seeley (lfseeley) | 27 comments I'm fascinated by the concept of "swapping reviews". Does that mean trading good reviews, or is it random? What's the value of a review one has purchased from another writer? If a review is comprehensive, it can tell you a lot about your book, and maybe the next one will be better.


message 949: by Ron (new)

Ron Lumostestprep | 45 comments Hi All,

Is anyone interested in swapping review with me?

We have published our books to help students for the standardized tests. It has practice tests and workbooks that are aligned with the new Common Core State Standards. It was written and edited by expert teachers.

I am trying to collect reviews and I would love to do a review swap.

Appreciate if you could write a short review for our books. Write your review by reading the content through LOOK INSIDE feature and by seeing other’s reviews.

If you are interested please let me know.

Look forward to your favorable reply.

Thanks

Ron

As far as I'm aware, the reviews on Amazon for indie books are for the Kindle version. Reviews for the printed copy need to be on the Createspace site. So, if you bought the printed copy and then tried to post a review on Amazon, that is why you are blocked. If you bought the Kindle version then you could post a review.
