How to Write an Online Review
You just finished reading a book that you really liked. What should you do next?
That’s code for, “Please, please, please leave a review on my book.”
For those who have an internet presence, reviews rule. We can’t be blunt like Dave Ramsey, the financial guru on YouTube who says: “Leave a 5 star review because that’ll help us. Don’t leave a 1 star. Just go on your way because we’re not for you.” Or words to that effect.
OJECTIVE REVIEW IS A SKILL
Imagine you’re getting together with friends for coffee, and you start telling them about this amazing book you’re reading. That’s the way you write a review—the way you talk.
A review should be about the product, not the creator of the product. People create products.
The online world is full of bullies and trolls. Don’t be one. There’s enough animosity and hate in the world without perpetuating it. Be objective.
7 STEPS TO WRITING ONLINE REVIEWS
1. Make notes.
After reading a book, watching a movie, using a product, etc. make a few notes while the experience is fresh in your mind.
If a book or movie, answer these questions. What was it about? Did the story pull you in or was it a slow build? Did you like the main characters? Were they people you’d like to know? Did it end in a satisfying way? What were your emotions as you read or watched? Did you like the way everything worked out? Would you read something else written by that author?
2. Write a paragraph or two incorporating your answers to the above.
3. Read over what you wrote to check for grammar and misspelled words.
If you wrote it in one of the most common document apps, it’s easy to spell check and grammar check.
4. Post the review on the webpage for the book, movie, game, YouTube video, etc.
Open a tab in your browser and navigate to the webpage. For example, if you bought the book on Amazon, go to the Amazon page for the book.
5. Copy and paste your review.
On the webpage, scroll down until you see Write a Customer Review. It’s on most webpages that sell products. Click that. When the form opens, paste your review into the space allotted. Give it the number of stars that reflect how you felt. I’ve read reviews that raved about a book, but the reviewer gave it only 3 stars. 3 = average. That doesn’t make sense.
6. Preview your review.
When you’re finished, you always have the chance to preview what you wrote in case you’d like to add or remove something.
7. Click to Submit your review.

That’s it. Easy peasy. Go forth and review. Please.
