Amazon Book Reviews Worldwide?

Book-Reviews

.
I never liked it how Amazon splits the world up into single countries, not as a book purchaser, nor as a reviewer.  Many times I was asked by authors from other countries to post a review on their “national” Amazon page too.  I did them the favor, yes, but I was not happy about the extra time effort.  Why on earth is Amazon doing this?  It’s the world wide web after all!  Why not linking automatically to all nations where this particular book is sold?  Some books might have hundreds of reviews on the US Amazon page and none at all on the UK site – both are English-speaking countries.  Not good for the book and its author!

Jason Matthews’ Review Tips
Yesterday I found by chance an article from bestselling author Jason Matthews, who also created an easy to follow video how to post a book review to all Amazon country sites – minus Japan which is a bit difficult to navigate as it is not set up completely in English.

Jason Matthews advises: “If leaving a review is important, why not go the extra distance and post the review at all 13 Amazon nations?  It only takes about two minutes, not much longer than it takes to leave one review.”
What are the benefits?  It’s good for readers and even the book and author if you liked the book.  Plus having your link to a website for browsers to click.  Definitely worth investing a few minutes of effort.”

His Video Shows in Detail:

  • Write the review in your files
  • copy the ASIN on the books Amazon page
  • click on “write a review link”
  • go to the book’s URL and delete everything after the ASIN
  • copy and paste this URL into a new tab
  • exchange the country identifier (“.com” with “.ca” or “.co.uk”)
  • open more tabs for all the countries you want to place a review
  • go back to your first tab, give the book the stars it should have
  • and copy / paste your review from your files to Amazon reviews
  • copy / paste the headline for each review
  • do the same to all Amazon country sites for this book by just copying / pasting the review, the headline, and giving it the star-rating

.
Voila!  That’s all!  It doesn’t take much more time to place a book review in ten countries than it does take for one country.  And you make an author very happy.  Plus your own link to you and then subsequently to your website shows up on Amazon in several countries.  See in detail how to post your book reviews in the future worldwide with the help of screenshots on Jason Matthews YouTube video.
