There are, of course, things that people do to get reviews that are against Amazon&#8217;s TOS that can get your listing suppressed or deleted.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially don&#8217;t upset Amazon&#8217;s A10 algorithm, and you should be fine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So here&#8217;s what to NOT do:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong>Never directly take the link at the top of your browser and send it to someone so that they can buy it there. That link is specific to you, and Amazon&#8217;s algorithm will get triggered if someone else tries to use the link to buy your product.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong>When first starting out, getting friends and family to all buy the product and having them all leave 5-star reviews will trigger the algorithm. When you&#8217;re first starting out, you don&#8217;t want your first five sales to all have 5-star reviews. The algorithm knows that&#8217;s not normal behavior, and it&#8217;ll flag your listing. Amazon knows how many organic reviews your type of listing should be getting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong>Avoid review groups or review services. Occasionally on social media, you will see a person or company that claims they will leave quality reviews on your products for a fee. If that person or account reviews your product later and then gets banned for this spam reviewing, then your account might get flagged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Make sure the person buying the product isn&#8217;t at your household. Amazon can link it together that you&#8217;re at the same address.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Read More:-\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amzonestep.com\/blog\/amz-one-step-vs-jungle-market-the-best-marketplace-for-amazon-sellers\/\">AMZ One Step Vs Jungle Market \u2013 The Best Marketplace for Amazon Sellers<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Essentially, don&#8217;t upset Amazon&#8217;s Algorithm, and let&#8217;s get your reviews in a way that Amazon likes!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WHAT_TO_DO\"><\/span><strong>WHAT TO DO<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7472 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amzonestep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Initial-Reviews-4-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"465\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amzonestep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Initial-Reviews-4-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.amzonestep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Initial-Reviews-4-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.amzonestep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Initial-Reviews-4-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.amzonestep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Initial-Reviews-4-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.amzonestep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Initial-Reviews-4-2048x1152.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Amazon_Vine_Program\"><\/span><strong>1.

You are not guaranteed any type of review; Amazon has chosen these people on the basis that they give honest reviews.<\/p>\n<p>There are several requirements that you will need to qualify for; you can find them <a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.ca\/gp\/help\/external\/GMWK4XNWMHTTUQSD?language=en_CA&amp;ref=efph_GMWK4XNWMHTTUQSD_cont_X3CEV63Y4ZZAP37\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">here<\/a>. The biggest one worth mentioning is that you need to be brand registered. This is especially important for new sellers to know.<\/p>\n<p>You can enroll in the Vine program by going to &#8216;Advertising&#8217; in Seller Central and then going to &#8216;Vine.&#8217; You will only see this if you are brand registered. Then you enter your ASIN, and you can enroll!<\/p>\n<p>Once you hit 30 reviews, you will become unenrolled in the program.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Friends_and_Family_Method\"><\/span><strong>2.

Then maybe one of your family members buys the product. Tell them to wait until they&#8217;ve had the product for 10+ days after it has been delivered to them before writing a review.<\/p>\n<p>Most people need time to try out the product before they can form an opinion on it. Keep in mind they must also be using an existing account that they&#8217;ve spent 50+ dollars on; they cannot simply create an account just to buy your product.<\/p>\n<p>Lets other purchases come in. Maybe after 50 purchases, then you get another family member to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>You can repeat this process, but only after enough organic sales have been made.<\/p>\n<p>My advice is the longer you wait in between periods is the safest way for this strategy to work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Request_A_Review\"><\/span><strong>3.

Requesting a review is a straightforward way to get reviews. Go to your &#8216;Order Details&#8217; page on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amzonestep.com\/blog\/vendor-central-vs-seller-central\/\"><strong>Seller Central<\/strong><\/a>, and you&#8217;ll be able to find the &#8216;Request a Review&#8217; feature.<\/p>\n<p>You can use this feature once per order between 5 and 30 days after the order delivery date.<\/p>\n<p>The downside of this method is that buyers who consistently buy from Amazon generally opt out of receiving emails from Amazon of this type. However, that is not to say that this method isn&#8217;t effective.<\/p>\n<p>By utilizing this method, you can still potentially increase your review rate by one or two percent, which is very significant.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be pretty time-consuming.
