hi everyone i'm Michael Lanfield here
thank you for joining me so I'm here on
Amazon and I want to show and share with
you something that I would really
appreciate a lot of people don't post
reviews for whatever reason they don't
want their name shown or they don't know
what to say on the review or whatever
the excuse is because there are
literally thousands of people that read
other books and dinners don't post
reviews because sometimes you see like
you know hundreds of reviews and maybe
tens of thousands people I've read the
book and they haven't made a review so
reviews on Amazon are so important
because it makes your book discoverable
meaning that the message that is in the
book like for example my books the
message is so important to get out to
the world because it is a message of
compassion and love then it's a vegan
message and so when you click on any of
my books
let's search my name and then click on
this book
my newest one and when you click on that
book you're gonna see that you're gonna
be able to make when you're signed in
you're gonna be able to make a review
now you have to have purchased something
on the internet that is worth money
because you can buy free ebooks or free
books or whatever but you have to have
bought something that is that has a
price on it at least one cent and
basically buy that one item and then you
can review many other items as you want
the only problem with this is that you
won't see as let's go to another book
for example
you won't see that it is let's go to
this one we won't see that it is
verified review meaning that the person
the user did not actually buy the book
so maybe they're just writing the review
not having read the book or maybe they
have read the book but they were giving
a free copy for example so for example
this person had their five purchased
because that person actually purchased
the book this person purchased the book
this person purchased the book but this
person did not doesn't mean that it's
not you know a you know reliable source
it just means that that person did not
actually buy the book but that person
probably probably didn't read the book
when it was free or if I gave that book
to that person and so it's so important
that people write reviews for my books
and for all vegan books because then it
gets the books discoverable so what does
that mean is that when you search for
something the more reviews you have -
when you search on Amazon search bar
right here the more reviews you have the
more likely it is going to come up on
search on the search when you search
under search results also it is more
likely to be shown elsewhere on the not
not just on Amazon but also through
search engines like Google and Doug Doug
oh and all these other ones and so if
you do or if you did actually read my
books I would appreciate a review of my
books and preferably one of these
reviews which are verified purchase cuz
verify purchases make the rating
actually higher if you have you know
make it higher but if you're not a
verified it didn't verify purchased if
you didn't purchase the book through
Amazon then the rating is actually
counted as a little bit lower so for
example in one of my one of my books the
journey for example there was one
reviewer who left one star and that
reviewer was a verified purchaser so
that actual person downloaded the book
it's a free book so you can download it
and that was a big big no problem
because unfortunately you know that was
a verified purchase so it went down
because two of the so it's only three
perch people that purchased the book was
three reviews and three people purchased
the book
two of them were not so this one really
like affected the wholesaler or the
holder I should say the whole rating so
I would have had a great rating but that
one person that one review because it
was a verified purchase that one review
made it go down to 4.1 stars and that's
fine
but I'm just saying that there if I
purchase it even better so they verify
purchase review is better but again any
review it's better than overview and
even if you don't like my book make a
review because it helps as well the more
reviews even if I get three stars there
more reviews the better because it comes
up in searches in Amazon that comes up
in searches in you know search engines
and they'd love that they loved that so
please keep writing those reviews if you
have read my books and if not please do
get my books because again it spreads
the vegan message you know people share
it around they review it reviews are so
important you don't know how important
they are if you have hundreds say in
fact if you have thousands of reviews
that's even better so please review the
books I thank you so much and don't
