I’d like to see an end to all automatic adding to email lists. 00:21:05 Heather Greer: If it’s your blog you’re sharing, but it’s a book review of someone else’s book, is it still focusing on your product? 00:21:52 Katherine Swarts: In my experience, that depends on individual Facebook group rules. 00:23:31 Dayna Ault: I’m a master at the “unsubscribe” button 00:25:01 Cher Stein: No 00:25:07 Jean Hall: Sharing 00:31:15 Jean Hall: NO! 00:31:28 Cher Stein: NO - too timeconsuming 00:31:38 Cher Stein: No 00:31:40 Jean Hall: NO! 00:31:46 Heather Greer: NO! 00:32:02 Janet Morris Grimes: I just ate fritos for breakfast.

I know. Just curious if he thought they were beneficial. 00:40:57 Megan: Is it Ok to send your book to a fellow writer in your niche for an Amazon review? 00:40:59 Amy Earls: Question: Is it better to have a Facebook author account rather than a page? 00:41:46 leslie: Amy, do you mean groups? I have an author page and a FB group, in addition to a personal page. 00:42:41 Amy Earls: I mean an author page off of the personal page. The page is what you can “like” rather than follow. 00:46:23 Cher Stein: I thought that amazon doesn't accept reviews from someone that has not bought the book - 00:46:32 leslie: I'm a reviewer for publications and publishing houses. I was told years ago to say: "I received a complimentary copy, but I wasn't required to leave a positive review." 00:46:56 leslie: Cher, you can leave reviews on Amazon even if you haven't purchased it there. It just won't list you as a "verified purchase." 00:47:10 Shirley Crowder: IF you get a free book, put a note at end "I received a copy of [book name] from [author/publisher]. I was not required to give a positive review. 00:47:28 Heather Greer: Cher - It will accept the reviews it just isn’t a verified purchase review 00:47:30 leslie: And to post a review on Amazon, you have to have spent $50 or more on Amazon. 00:47:41 leslie: Not connecting your social media accounts to Amazon can help with that. 00:47:46 Cher Stein: Thanks! 00:57:48 Laurel M: QUESTION: Greg, the quality of your audio sound is excellent. Would you mind sharing what brand and type of mic you’re using? 00:59:37 Beth Steury: What's the best way to build an email list? 01:00:36 leslie: Beth, there's a workshop next session on building your email list. It's by Hannah Conway. 01:04:45 Greg Turnquist: MOVO VXR-10 PRO (+ stand) = $100 01:04:53 KCWC Classroom 1: five minutes remaining 01:05:33 Laurel M: THANK YOU Greg! Enjoyed your lesson.
