Right idea, wrong way of doing things...

I wrote a kindle book for amazon and want to get reviews. The book is about becoming a school bus driver in Ohio. To get reviews and see what kind of interest people might have in this topic I put ads on Craigslist under the employment section. So far I've gotten about 10 or so responses. I figure CL is where my target audience is: people who want to become bus drivers.

However I realize that this is very time consuming way of doing things. What other ways might I go about figuring out who might be interested in either the book(right now I just want to get reviews for it) and possibly a study guide type of product to help people study for their tests.

        This might be the kind of niche topic that could do well in Facebook ads because you can get very specific market segments there. You will need a fanpage to go along with your book, but that isn't very difficult to do.

        That's a good news for your kindle book. CL method is a very good one from my point of view. Also if you are willing to spend some money to market it, PPC is the option.
