Tips for Writing an Amazon Review of Freeing Energy

TWO THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR REIVEW

First: 

Every review matters. Your review doesn’t have to be long or be a literary work of art. Just write down your genuine impressions of the book so that other potential readers can get the richest sense of the book before they decide to read it themselves. 

Amazon is also more likely to recommend a book to other customers if it has more reviews.

Second: 

Amazon prioritizes reviews written by customers that have purchased the book. They refer to these reviews as “verified purchase.” This is not a requirement but good reviews by people who paid for the book increases the chances that Amazon will promote the book to others.

OK, now onto writing reviews. 

If you need a refresher on the steps to take to get to Amazon’s customer review pages, read Section 1 below. Otherwise, jump right to Section 2 which offers ideas for writing the review itself.

 

1. HOW TO WRITE A REVIEW ON AMAZON

If you haven’t written an online book review before, it’s easier than you think.

Click on the review count to be taken to the review section of the book’s page

NEXT: Now that you are on the review section, click on the button on the bottom-left.

NEXT: You are now ready to fill out the review. You will need:

Here is a collection of reviews already written on Amazon that might help spur your own creative ideas.

  • “If you’re looking for a refreshingly optimistic, yet cogent, 0% fluff account of what solar energy- and the world will be like in the coming decades, don’t pass this one up!”
  • “Solar, batteries, and other renewable energy technologies are the future. It’s great to see an easy to read, well researched book that doesn’t bury the reader in jargon and policy-babble.”
  • “I have really enjoyed the book, particularly the Audible version. It is an excellent book for anyone that is interested in solar, energy storage, micro-grids, electricity, and clean energy – including students, energy professionals, business people, and more.”
  • “As Bill Nussey demonstrates in this fascinating and deeply researched book, we are in the midst of an unprecedented transformation of our energy system, one that will ultimately touch the lives of nearly every person on the planet.”
  • “What Bill has done is really extraordinary. He has taken a topic that could be dry and riddled with jargon, and he has brought it to life in a book that is as informative and readable as it is enlightening and inspiring.”
  • “Well written, good information and interesting personal stories — not only about renewable energy but also about the impact of solar energy in developing countries, particularly Africa.”
 

Every review matters. Your review doesn’t have to be long or be a literary work of art. Just write down your genuine impressions of the book so that other potential readers can get the richest sense of the book before they decide to read it themselves.

Thank you.
