A short how-to from Julie Broad (The Book Broad) advising authors to use a universal book link—via Books2Read—to share Amazon book pages without exposing personal identifying data. Julie introduces herself, cites her books, requests reviews, and demonstrates her preferred universal link setup to protect privacy when sharing purchase links.

Hey there. I'm Julie the Book Broad, founder of a full service self publishing services company, Book Launchers. I'm also the author of four books, two that you should definitely check out. Self Publish and Succeed and Self Promote and Succeed and when you do, an Amazon review would be the absolute greatest gift you could ever give me and other people that really should be reading these books to help them write and publish and promote a nonfiction book. So thank you for taking a minute to do that. Now of course that is something you will need to say all the time as an author. Please review my book. Please help it find the readers that will need it the most. But often when people are sharing the link to their book, they just go to Amazon, search for the book and send the link. When you do that, the link contains identifying details which allows Amazon to know all kinds of things about you and the person you're sending the link to. My preferred way to send the URL to people is through a universal book link. Go to Books to Read, which is a free to use and fast to set up site to get a universal book link. So here's what that looks like. This is my universal book link.
