Amazon and Goodreads Visibility with Revvue

[Mehmet]

For authors like me who have just released a new book and face visibility challenges, I’d like to introduce the Revvue platform, which I have personally found useful, based on my own experience.

ADD BOOK

I signed up for the free plan and uploaded my book’s PDF file here. As a membership bonus, 2,500 coins were credited to my account.

Then I clicked on my book, and in the opened window, I selected one of the reading options—each with a different coin value—depending on the type of Amazon review I wanted:

Verified Purchase

Strict Verified Purchase

PDF/EPUB/AUDIO

Kindle Unlimited

If I also wanted a Goodreads review, I selected the Include Goodreads review option for an additional coin cost, then published my book by clicking GET REVIEWED.

At the bottom of the page, I could track the book’s review status—whether a reader was being found, had started reading, submitted a review, or whether the review had been published on Amazon.
If a reader had not yet started reading, I could cancel their selection with an X, and the coins would be refunded to my account.

Books must be read within 7 days, and the review must be posted on Revvue and Amazon (and on Goodreads, if that option is selected) within 14 days.

READ BOOK

From this section, I can choose books—just like mine—that are available to read with different options.

In the free plan, you can read up to 1 book at a time, while in the paid premium plan, you can read up to 2 books at once.
Each book must be read within 7 days, and once finished, you must leave a review on both the Revvue review field and Amazon.
If the Goodreads option is available, the review link must also be added there.

In the free plan, you get 2 reading credits per week.
Additionally, for every new author who joins the platform using your referral link, you earn 2,000 coins.

With the premium plan (about $5–6/month), you can read up to 7 books per week.

NOTE

Amazon’s rules vary by country.
However, for Amazon.com, users who have made purchases totaling over $50 USD in the past 12 months can write up to 5 reviews per week, even without purchasing the reviewed books directly.

I hope this helps!
Best,

Thanks for the info! I have signed up there and I'm looking forward to the future now.

I was very disappointed with Revvue. I think the founders of the platform tried to create an honest review system, but, for me, it fails and every platform will fail because there will always be that percentage of authors who will try to cheat it. I had one review and it was so blatantly obvious the reviewer had only read the blurb and, perhaps, one or two pages. If a reviewer hasn't read the whole book, they have no right offering a review in my opinion. There is a whole host of review platforms like Revvue now and they all fail for the same reason - trying to cheat the system.

You’re right, Tim, this happens to me sometimes (1/10) as well. To minimize it, I use Kindle Unlimited or Verified Purchase. I also always make sure to include the “Include Goodreads Review” option. This way, I can see who the reviewer is and compare it with the data from kdpreports to estimate how many pages of the book they actually read or whether they purchased it during that period. Additionally, in very suspicious cases, I contacted the Revvue Team via chat and they were really helpful.

I agree with you, Mehmet. There are many platforms like Revvue out there, and most of them are a lot more expensive. Many also clearly act against Amazon’s rules - for example, some forbid giving 3-star reviews, which they have no right to do, especially if the book truly isn’t good.

On Revvue, I’m getting much more honest reviews than on other platforms. I guess that’s because other sites allow people to review 15–20 books a week, which is impossible - so of course, those reviews end up being fake.

I do wish, though, that Revvue allowed flagging users who leave bad or fake reviews, so we could avoid receiving reviews from them in the future.
