Do news reviews really help us?

[jack everett]

The Sun newspaper-largest circulation in UK (4,000,000 +) has just reviewed 1/1: Jihad-Britain and given it 4 Stars the highest scoring review this week. Does anyone have first hand experience that it really helps sales?

[Tim Scanlon]

I definitely think it helps create buzz. The mere fact that it is mentioned means that people are more likely to discuss it.

Step 1: Book buzz/word of mouth

Step 2:

Step 3: World domination!

[I. J. Parker]

Yes, it's always the second step that trips you.  :)

[jack everett]

See my previous answer.

Then I am still awaiting the buzz to take effect. I will worry about the mysterious 2nd step later but I would like to thank those of you who have passed comment 'cos for me the whole thing is a learning exercise.

Tim's got the right steps, Jack.  Heh-heh.  Luv that second one! 

 

Will follow up with my Reviews, Jack.  I'm not Kirkus or PW, but I "work-it."  When I put a review out, I social network the heck out of it, so let's see what we can do.  Meantime, on to world domination, eh? 

[jack everett]

I don't know if I should volunteer to be dominated but I think I could take a little world domination. By the way I love that you have volunteered to help me and I know I was meant to send you something else though I can't think what it was. I only know that I never forget anyone who helps me and if you ever need anything you only have to ask.
