Getting positive book reviews is very important, but there can be many barriers to readers leaving them, such as not finishing the book, not knowing where to post a review, and embarrassment in writing one. Deb talks to us about the importance of educating readers on writing reviews and alleviating the fear associated with crafting reviews.

AWL Podcast: Authorship and Community
Deb talks about her experience writing, editing, and publishing her book. In promoting her book, she highlights unique strategies for success, such as hosting a book club, using email marketing in different ways, and pitching guest appearances on podcasts. Like building her community with quality people, she “really wanted to make this the best possible book I can.”
In this podcast, Deb also shares with us:
-
That just because something works for others doesn’t mean it’s right for you.
-
Before starting a community, ask what they want out of it, who they want in the community, and why.
-
Writing a book could be easier for you than building a course for your business.
-
Reviews are the most crucial aspect to focus on when marketing your book.
-
That it’s helpful to give readers examples of leaving reviews.
