Signing up for the backup promotion was straight forward. However, even at the discount, it's still expensive on my budget. As a first-time indie author trying to get noticed to make some sales, the promotions costs really add up.

My only complaint is the number of email messages I get asking for information I've already provided.

It is great website to earn extra income by enjoying reading books . It's a great opportunity.

The Social networking done to introduce my novel to a wide range of audience was all inclusive and impressive. Because I am not socially (site) adept, I did feel a bit lost at times, trying to navigate from one platform to the next. If there was a way to make this part of the process easier on folks who don't really know Twitter from Instagram, that would be helpful. But as my daughter tells me, get with it, daddy, you should know these things. I do want to thank you. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. I am not sure yet what the effect of the BOTD will be on any sales of my book so any praise for that will need to wait. C Cee Morris

I got many detailed reviews for my book, and their book-of-the-day feature, for a free book, is worth the money.

At first, I had a not-so-great experience with this website. My rating is 4 stars because I did end up getting paid and my issues were resolved! I signed up a year or two ago and forgot about it. One day, I received an email with an offer: buy and review a $3 book, get paid $75. Cool! I read the book, took notes, wrote a review, did grammar checks, wrote down errors from the book, and took the quiz. I did all that and thought I followed all the guidelines, but I guess not. My review got a score of 5/100 (I think) for two VERY minor grammar errors. Both were "misplaced" commas that I and Grammarly thought were fine. (They say not to rely on grammar checkers, but I did check it myself too). I was also docked points for forgetting to add page numbers to the book errors when taking the quiz. I thought docking that many points for minor errors was unfair. That sucked because it made my overall reviewer score NEGATIVE. This was my first review so it hurt my account and I stayed on Level 0 out of 6. (Level 6 reviewers get paid more per review. I currently get up to $10 bonuses). I worked hard for days to get my score up to Level 1 by posting on forums and such. I fixed my grammar and quiz errors for a resubmission (which you can do up to 3 times over the life of your account). My score increased to 35/100. I am still Level 0. The book I read required me to leave an Amazon review. I accepted those terms. Turns out, you have to spend at least $40 on Amazon in a year to be able to leave book reviews. I rarely buy anything on Amazon, but I was planning on making a purchase in September (I accepted the book offer at the end of May). I changed my OnlineBookClub settings to show I couldn't leave Amazon reviews. This voided my review and no opportunity to be paid. This was disappointing and I was very upset. I put hours into reading, writing, and going back and forth with customer service on this issue. I forgot about this until October, but put it off until November. I spent over $40 on Amazon and changed my OnlineBookClub settings. After leaving an Amazon review, I submitted an appeal for my original OnlineBookClub review. My account once again showed I had esrned/was owed $75. It's now November 11 and I got paid today. I waited about 2-4 days, which was sooner than expected! I went back and forth with customer service on this issue for a few months. I had a couple issues getting my PayPal set up on the website because my OnlineBookClub username didn't match my PayPal name. I changed my username to my real name to fix the issue. It's a bit annoying to share images and screen recordings with customer service because I had to upload everything to my Google Drive and send them the link. However, they were very kind and helpful. I appreciate it! I will continue to use OnlineBookClub because I enjoy reading and the cash bonus is nice.

Was happy that some miscommunication was clarified and I received both a partial refund and a promised review.in the end

Even though, I was disappointed with the initial outcome of the review of my book, Scott Hughes has shown that he truly cares about each and every author that his platform reviews.He is a man of integrity and will do as much as possible to help authors promote their books.
