Fast, Easy Tool for Amazon Reviews<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6196 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/publicity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2015\/12\/Biggest-Publisher-Problem-Solved.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fiction author <strong>Tower Lowe<\/strong> gets more new reviews for her books on Amazon than she thought was possible.<\/p>\n<p>And almost effortlessly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a great tool for indie writers,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I simply set up the <strong>Book Review Targeter<\/strong> search engine on the reviews of a novel similar to my own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When it delivers a list of reviewers who are a perfect fit for her book, and whose email addresses or web address are public, she decides which ones she wants to pitch for a review. Using a pre-written template, she composes the request and sends it off within minutes. Easy peasy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This product saves hours of time spent sifting through emails and finding email addresses,&#8221; Tower says.<\/p>\n<p>Book Review Targeter, created by author <strong>Debbie Drum<\/strong>, is so easy to use, you barely have to think. <\/p>\n<p>If you missed our webinar on Wednesday, you can see the replay. And get in under the wire before the special discount on this robust tool disappears at midnight on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>For only $147, far less than what your own time is worth, you can grab Book Review Targeter and use it for every book you write, forever. Debbie promises that as Amazon makes changes to its algorithm or website, the web-based product will be updated to reflect the changes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/getbookreviewsnow.com\/webinarspeciallive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the webinar replay and get the discount here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2.
