A listener is self-publishing her book on Kindle Direct Publishing and hopes to drum up reviews.

She understands how important it is to have some reviews, especially in the beginning,

but she's wondering, can she contact customers who've left reviews for other authors in the

same genre? She'll explain a little bit more in her question. First of all, welcome to

Citadel School. I'm so glad you're here. My name is Chris Gillabo. Every single day I'm making

this podcast. I've been doing it since January 1, 2017. It's for people like you who are busy,

have a lot of responsibility, a lot of stuff going on. But like the idea of creating more

than one source of income, like the idea of building some dependents away from their employer,

who like the idea of being able to pursue a creative project, do something they enjoy,

perhaps write a book in this case, but also get paid for it. So that's the common thread.

That's what links everybody who's part of this community. If you have just recently stumbled

upon Citadel School, I am so glad. As I said, I'm so glad you're listening. Thank you

for being part of it. I hope it's going to be helpful and interesting and inspiring to

you over time. So can you give people a book in exchange for reviews? That's what we're

talking about. I have several thoughts on this. Let's hear from our listener after this

quick shout out to our sponsor. Thank you, sponsor. Thank you. Listeners.
