Excellent communication, tremendous assistance, and the design of my promotion is an attention getter!!!

The people who created this really care about their clients. That alone is terrific!!!

What I have found is a lack of control over your reviewer so that they can lie about a book with no repercussions or redress whatsoever. And that may be because of using a quid pro quo system. When I pay $400 to have my book reviewed, I expect a quality review nd not a hatchet job, as was done by the last reviewer because she did not like what I had to say about her particular religion. Therefore, she proceeded to beat my book up. This type of review, which was purely out of spite, does not reflect kindly on your business and how it is run.

Everybody was very helpful in straightening out an error I made in wanting to promote a book. Response was quick and helpful.

Helped me get my first book into the hands of readers and reviewers. However some readers put heaps of effort into reading my book, whilst it’s obvious some don’t and just make things up that are just not there! Hoping the book club improves the screening process to accept only valid reviews as our author’s reputation are on the line! PLUS PACKAGES offered come at a price, which takes me along time to save the money as a struggling author.

The site is complicated to navigate. Everything goes back to reading and reviewing the guidelines. There's no actual person to speak with or email with. If you've read them multiple times and still need clarification and help, you can't speak to anyone which becomes frustrated. I love to read and wanted to try reviewing book to make a bit of cash. My first review was for $75 which would've come in handy for me. I completed the book and wrote a review. I made sure it followed the guidelines. I submitted it and there was an issue. I reviewed and fixed it. Suddenly my review was plagiarized and AI. I vehemently denied these claims and told them that my very first submitted review would attest to that including why they thought it was AI. They refused and stood by their decision. The fact that these are level 6 reviewers and our "peers" should speak for something, but they just seem very elitist and non compromising or helpful. The fact they tell you that once you've tried to appeal that you should just take it as a learning experience is very telling. I will not be using this site again and reporting it.

I joined onlinebookclub.org a while back to get a little much needed extra money. I review books already through Goodreads and Amazon for free and have a book blog so it was an easy fit. The guidelines are quite strenuous and despite writing very well written reviews I had to jump through many hoops to get them approved and get paid. The process was quite long. Despite this, I did get $25 for my first review. Later, in January or February of 2025, I downloaded 2 more books and did reviews. It took until April or May to finally get them approved but then it wouldn't pay out because it said I needed to verify my identity. I tried it multiple times and it said that I already did it. I contacted support and they told me it was fine. When it wasn't resolved I contacted again sending screenshots as I did before but was told to video it... I use my phone to review and can not do that which I explained before and there was not any more info to be gained from a video as the screenshots showed everything. I then started getting emails supposedly from the owner of the organization who is trying to sell his new book offering a subscription to his page for $1 and the ability to get my account verified for payment also there was something about ordering his book for an opportunity to advance in ranks but they wanted a crazy number of reviews per week plus the cost to buy this person's book. It all started sounding very fishy. I am currently trying to delete my account with them but I cant even do that! Overall, not worth the time or energy and they are trying to get money from reviewers.

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.
