Reviews = Sales

One of the most important things you can do as an author is to get good reviews of your book.  If someone is debating whether to buy your book, a good review can be the influence to make a sale.

Online bookstores, such as Amazon, have an open policy for allowing reviews by readers.  Giving feedback is as easy as logging into your online account and making a comment.

If your book is listed on Amazon or other online bookstores, you can create good reviews for your book by hosting a "review party".  Invite your friends over for good wine, coffee and maybe even a little chocolate, place your laptop where everyone can have access to it, ask your friends to log in to their Amazon account and write you an authentic review of your book.

Also, create good "book karma" by leaving good reviews for other authors, especially those who you may know.  You can also create lists with Listmania and have your friends list your book on their lists.  The more you have your name featured on Amazon, the more it builds credibility and accessibility to your work.

The following Indigo Heart books are currently listed on Amazon.  Feel free to leave a good review:
