Getting Reviews for products

[billybluehat]

I know this might be a little off topic (Not about amazon suspensions) but man am I finding it difficult to get product reviews :(

I'm sure everyone's in the same boat? I've sold about 200 units of a product and managed to get 1 review from someone! which I suppose is standard...

I've been sending out auto emails, after sales leaflets. ETC. I've been reading up a lot about it and other methods. Someone said that even the largest of sellers on Amazon will still always use blackhat methods to get reviews on a new product release, as a kickstart. But how are they doing it under the radar?

We should set up a consortium/group of sellers that help each other out / buy each other's products. Naughty I know, but I bet every one of us is in the same boat, struggling to get reviews when releasing a new product.

China sellers are absolutely plaguing these facebook review sites - which I think is bloody risky.

Anyway, rant over.

Those facebook review sites are being nuked one by one by Facebook.
And in case you didn't know, Amazon has purged the majority of reviews starting February this year and it's still going on currently.

Even legitimate reviews are being purged from Amazon's own products.

200 units and you got 1 review? I got to say you are lucky. I got 1 product review a month, same with 1 personal feedback a month.

So as long as you have above 5 reviews from yur current customers, you should be ok.
