💡Prospects and challenges on the path to international markets as part of the E-commerce Bootcamp: Expand Globally Earlier, we shared the news that, as part of the project supported by the USAID Competitive Economy Program in Ukraine (USAID CEP), we conducted 50 express analyses for companies that successfully completed the training. 🔍 What happened next? From these companies, 15 Ukrainian manufacturers were selected, for which an in-depth niche analysis was conducted. Specifically, the research covered products such as food items, industrial goods, cosmetics, home and leisure products, and sports and casual wear. The completed niche analysis revealed the potential for these manufacturers' products to enter international markets. 💡During the project, we analyzed the advantages that set Ukrainian companies apart from their competitors in the international market and identified the key strengths that contribute to their effective competition. We also highlighted the key prospects and challenges Ukrainian businesses face when entering foreign markets. This helps companies adapt more quickly to new conditions and unlock their potential on a global scale. 🌍The niche analyses and market research we conducted demonstrate the potential of Ukrainian businesses to successful entry into international marketplaces. We are proud of the achievements of our companies and believe in their success on the global stage! Currently, we are completing the account registrations phase of the project and will soon announce its results. So, very soon even more high-quality Ukrainian products will be available on global marketplaces! The free online course has been made possible thanks to the support of USAID Competitive Economy Program in Ukraine (USAID CEP).

📚 How to Get More Reviews on Amazon KDP? 1️⃣ The Importance of Reviews Reviews are key to your book's success on Amazon. Readers trust social proof, and books with positive reviews have higher conversion rates. Building reviews using the approved methods described here is completely legitimate, as these methods do not involve financial incentives and comply with Amazon's policies. 2️⃣ Where to Get Reviews? There are effective ways to attract readers who can voluntarily share their feedback: ⭐️ Free Giveaway through KDP Select – 5 days of promotion within every 90-day period. Attract more readers, and there is a high likelihood that some downloads will turn into reviews ⭐️ Author Copies – Order books to distribute to early readers. This creates an opportunity to quickly gather initial reviews without unnecessary conditions or expectations ⭐️ Request for Feedback in the Book – At the end of the book, include a polite request for readers to share their thoughts. This should be a neutral request that doesn't encourage only positive reviews ⭐️ Email Campaigns – Send requests to your loyal audience, inviting them to provide feedback. The key is to avoid offering financial rewards in your emails ⭐️ ARC Reviewers – Platforms for receiving reviews before or after the official book release. Choose services that comply with Amazon's policies, avoiding cross-reviewing ⭐️ Discounts and Promotions – Use these to increase your book's visibility, though this is not a guarantee of reviews, as each review must be voluntary and based on the reader’s real experience 3️⃣ How Many Reviews Do You Need? Even the first few reviews can significantly improve your book's visibility. However, focus on quality over quantity. Even a negative review is an opportunity for growth. If negative feedback outweighs positive, it’s a signal to review your product and address any issues. ⚡️Disqover Agency can help you with every step of the process: from niche selection to product preparation to keyword optimization for effective promotion on Amazon KDP.
