Reviews? Need some? (Who doesnt’?) Here are four memes I created over the last year or so. Feel free to save and use as you will. I’m planning to do a few more with a bit more info on them, and will share when I get them done. In the meantime, hope you can use these here and there. (No need for attribution. I share these freely with anyone who wants to help get the word out.)
These are good. I need to learn how to make memes.

So glad you like them. I really should have made a lot more by now, but life (writing) keeps me too busy to play with graphics very much these days. I use PaintShopPro, but there are lots of choices for creating this type of thing, including several free ones. I’ll try to put together some links for you. 🙂

OOoooh that would be lovely. I really need to work more on using graphics. I’m missing the visually creative gene.

Even a short message on a colorful background will work. Just something to jog people into remembering they MEANT to leave a review. 😀 I’ve made a note to check on those links. I know one free site is FotoJet. You can upload images and do some simple stuff with them, plus I think they have templates, too. https://www.fotojet.com/apps/flash/?entry=edit Also, youi can create basic graphics in Paint, which comes with either Windows or Office, I think. (Sorry, haven’t used it in awhile. But I’m sure there is a basic graphics program that comes with most computers.) Hope this helps.

Thanks! I’ve been using paint but it’s a bit rudimentary. I’ll check out fotojet

I dearly love PaintShopPro. It does 90% of the things you can do in Photoshop at a fraction of the cost. I used it for years for digital art, before I finally got around to my real love of writing. But if experiment with some of the free and/or “smaller” programs, you can probably come up with some cool stuff. Sometimes simple is just fine. 😀

Glad you like them, Yvonne. Feel free to use them as a reminder to your followers, etc. We need to encourage folks to leave those reviews. For some of us indies, they can make or break the success of our books. 🙂

Thanks for sharing this.
It’s so sat that readers often don’t realise how important this is for us as authors, but also for us as readers, since a book that is invisible will never live its life, no matter how good it is.

Exactly so, but I confess, I never realized the importance of reviews until I started writing. I’d never given a single moment’s thought to my opinion possibly helping an author sell more books. Of course, I did share my thoughts with friends and fellow readers I knew personally, and that, too, is important. But in today’s world, it’s those Amazon reviews that make or break a book, especially for us independent authors. I’m glad you like the memes, and I promise to make a few more soon. 🙂
