So, what is social proof?

Social proof is a psychological phenomenon where people look at the actions of others to determine their own behavior. If people see others buying your book, course, materials, they’re more likely to buy it too.

Here are some tips for using social proof to increase your book’s visibility and sales:

1. Ask for reviews. Reviews are a great way to show potential readers that others have enjoyed your book. Ask friends, family, and colleagues to leave reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, and other book review sites. It’s possible to also use Booksprout, NetGalley, or contact book review sites and locations to expand possible review options.
2. Share customer testimonials. If you’ve received positive feedback from readers, share it on your website and social media accounts. This will help build trust with potential readers and encourage them to buy your book.
3. Leverage influencers. Reach out to influencers in your niche and ask them to review your book or share it with their followers. This can help you reach a larger audience, fill with people who you aren’t able to reach normally and thus, increase your book’s visibility.
4. Use social media. Social media is a great way to showcase your book and engage with potential readers. Post updates about your book, share reviews, and interact with your audience and community.
