Strategies to Boost Amazon Book Sales and Customer Reviews

I am an independent author seeking a subject matter expert in self-publishing marketing for non-fiction books in Economics, Financial History, and Market Trends.

My book, Inside the Greed Machine: From Tulip Blooms to Bitcoin/AI Booms, compares historical speculative bubbles with modern trends in crypto and AI. I need a targeted, ethical strategy to significantly increase my Amazon review count by the mid November 2025.

Book Status & Goal:
Niche: Financial History, Speculative Bubbles, Economics, Bitcoin/Crypto, AI/Tech Investment.
Current Review Count: 5 good, organic reviews.

Goal: To generate a minimum of 15-20 additional, honest, and genuine reviews by November 12th 2025.

The Reality (Amazon Compliance is Non-Negotiable): I am only interested in strategies that comply 100% with Amazon's Terms of Service. This means NO paid-for reviews, NO review swaps, and NO compensation contingent on leaving a review. Your role is to get the book in front of the right audience (e.g., economic historians, tech/finance journalists, investment bloggers) and encourage honest feedback.

Your Deliverables & Scope of Work: I am hiring for a high-impact strategy that focuses on legitimate audience access and follow-up specific to the history of speculation and modern market trends. I require a plan and execution for one or more of the following:

Niche Influencer Outreach: Identifying and pitching the book to 10–20 relevant economic commentators, financial history bloggers/podcasters, technology/crypto journalists, or notable figures who cover market cycles and speculative manias.

Targeted ARC Distribution: Managing the submission and logistics of the book on professional ARC platforms (like NetGalley or BookSirens) to secure interest from readers who specifically review Economics, Business History, or Technology titles.

Community Engagement Strategy: A plan to engage authentically with relevant online communities (e.g., Reddit groups like r/wallstreetbets or r/history, specific finance/tech forums) to find readers interested in the book's dual themes and willing to provide a review.

Amazon Page Optimization: Ensuring the book's Amazon page (keywords, categories, Editorial Reviews, A+ Content) is optimized to capture search traffic for terms like "financial bubbles," "history of speculation," "Bitcoin boom," "AI investment history," and "Tulip Mania."

To be considered, please reply with:

A brief, specific example of a successful review campaign you ran for a non-fiction book in the Financial History, Tech, or Economics space in the past 6 months (no guarantees, just a case study of your process).

Your experience and success rate with non-fiction titles on ARC management platforms.
Your proposed, realistic 3-week timeline to execute your chosen strategy.
Your flat-rate fee for this specific, short-term project.

I am ready to provide the book file, branding assets, and a link immediately. I look forward to your realistic and expert-level proposal.
