I am very confused by all the steps and offers and the near-impossible reader's options. All I wanted when I signed up with $300 was the offer to have my book shown or reviewed or something I'm not even sure of. You really need to break this site down to individual options rather than throwing all this stuff at the prospective client. I went back for a second attempt and was nearly as confused as the first time, which was yesterday. Thanks

I hate the review process. Your requirements are far too stringent and are very complicated. I review for other sites and don’t have any problems.

I signed up for online book club in late February 2023. I selected a to purchase the book out of pocket, I finished the book, completed my review, and submitted within two weeks time. My review was accepted but never posted. Probably because I gave the book a 2 of 5 and that hurt the author's feelings. It took them 5 MONTHS to complete the whole process and that's on top of me having to reach out to them 3 separate times over months to get someone to resolve the issue of why I hadn't been paid and the review not being closed out. That's ridiculous! The website looks like it's from the 1994, is extremely hard to navigate and definitely not accessible for today's standards. TLDR: Slow customer service, book selection isn't great or diverse. Not worth the time. I will not be working them anymore and I suggest you don't either.

AUTHOR REVIEW: Coming from someone who got a full stars glowing review on my book almost a year ago, it generated TWO sales in that time, and they conveniently came the same day I complained about not getting a single sale. It took me months of emailing asking for a refund, and it wasn't until I started leaving poor reviews of their business that they finally got in touch with me. They state in their first paragraph when signing up, "The trick to getting sales of a good book to go viral is to get good reviews from trusted sources who have top exposure. We can offer you all of that." I got a review, but nothing else. They also have a 100% satisfaction guarantee listed when you sign up for a package, but this guarantee is NOT to get a refund, and they will try everything in their power to not refund your money. It was not until I began leaving poor reviews in multiple places that Scott made an actual point to respond to me, and there was so much ridiculous back and forth of him trying to make me feel bad, saying do I think his reviewer doesn't deserve to be paid, that he will go in the red if he refunds me... His reviewers DO deserve to get paid, and like I explained to him, if you buy spoiled milk, do you expect the cashier to have to pay for it... NO. It is the business that pays their employees and also makes the product and satisfaction guarantee, not the cashier. He needs to pay his reviewer, and also back up HIS promises. Finally... after a very difficult time and having to resort to leaving bad reviews, I received a painstakingly hard to get refund. It appears readers like this service for their giveaways, (who doesn't like free stuff), but I'm here to say AUTHORS BEWARE.
