⭐ Review Strategy for Addiction & Recovery
Reviews are the single biggest factor in whether your Addiction & Recovery book succeeds or disappears. Here is what the data shows for this niche:
- ✓Launch with 15-25 reviews minimum — books with fewer than 10 reviews at launch are invisible to Amazon's algorithm in this competitive niche.
- ✓Target 15-25 reviews in the first 30 days — this builds momentum in your category.
- ✓Reviews must be genuine and Amazon-compliant — avoid any service that offers paid or incentivized reviews, which violates Amazon's terms.
- ✓Match reviewers to your niche — a Addiction & Recovery book needs readers who actually read Addiction & Recovery. Generic review services don't know the difference.
