How do i seek reviewers for my amazon ebooks

I've recently published 2 books; one a paranormal thriller, and the other is a coming of age drama...I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i could find potential readers.  both books have sample chapters and both will be free starting tomorrow and lasting through until Friday. can anyone help me out with any suggestions?

I would suggest posting on group boards here looking for reviewers.  This will give you a more focused group of people that may like the genres you have written.  

Also, contact bloggers.  Seek out blogs that you think your book would be a good fit with and email them.  They won't all say yes, but some will.  

Are you on goodreads?  That is another good place to find groups to post in.

Good luck!

thanks for the advice

Contact book bloggers! They're usually more than happy to post a review on their blog and Amazon if they accept your book. Here's some advice to find the right ones. Make sure to read review policies before contacting anyone!

thank you for your response...i'll try that.

Get on Twitter and announce the freebies - often...

Announce on free e-book websites.

Try Goodreads - there's a "read to review" (R2R) in the paranormal book club that you can join.

If you haven't already, download Mark Coker's free e-book marketing guide from Smashwords - he's got a lot of good tips there. 

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Thanks for the advice sara...i'm going to look into that 

Do you have any bloggers you really admire? Ask them to review it, bloggers are always open to new books, every once in a while due to time constraints etc. they may not accept one, but mainly they will, just find their review policy and shoot 'em an email. :)

I would also try the free download for a day, if you're signed on to Kindle Lending.

How far apart were these two? If very close was that a good idea, and how did you get them published so close?

READERS FAVORITE-FREE REVIEWS AND MORE!...........Carlos...And anyone else looking for a solid review of their book(s), check out READERSFAVORITE.COM. They are legit (apparently many of these places are scammers) and they`ll do a FREE review of your book and put it in Amazon. They also run a yearly national contest.The year before last we went to Las Vegas, what fun we had!. This year the ceremony will be held in Florida.

As an aside, I have edited at least three of their contest winning writers to date.I have also edited about 1000 of their reviews. Why,you ask? Anyone can write a review,but is it well-written? It was my job to "make it so." To quote Captain Picard of the USS Enterprise,remember that show?

The company is run by a wonderful lady,Deb Gaynor,her husband,Steve, and their internet guru,James. They also offer other services for a reasonable fee. They will help you prepare a solid query letter and try their best to hook you up with an agent and or a publisher. She has several reviewers that do a fantastic job and she is always looking for other people that enjoy reading good books and writing solid well thought out reviews for same. She will send you the books for FREE but you do have to promise to write reviews in a timely fashion and that`s only fair. Please check out the site;they may offer other services that I am not aware of. This description is as complete as my knowledge base allows. Please contact Deb for more info and please tell her that Dennis sent you. When you go to the site, you`ll see my pic there. I`m the guy with the cowboy hat!

Beware of giving away your work for free.  I have done some of those Amazon promotions and they don't actually increase sales.  There are tons of people who are only interested in free books, but don't actually spend money.  Try promoting your books on Facebook and Twitter.  I have a couple of ads on FB.  They are not very expensive and they did increase sales.  Hope this helps.
