OnlineBookClub.orgReviews of onlinebookclub.org

As an avid reader, I wondered how I might pay for my habit. Writing reviews for OnlineBookClub.org is an easy way to monetize my reading, and helps keep me in the writing.

I am a book reviewer with this website for more than 3 years now. This is a wonderful place for learning and also earning ( you are paid as a valuable and genuine reviewer).

This was amazing rollar coaster

Really like so far what is good about the club is you can keep track of your reading and enter daily giveaways and more. If you like reading this is the where you should be.

I signed up with them because I enjoy reading and during the time I was in and out of the hospital with my daughter at the same time they were bombarding me to send a review of a book that I read. By the time I was to respond, they totally blocked my account. I even reached out to Scott on Twitter wanting to explain my unique situation and he has never responded. Their platform too is highly disorganized and it would be so nice if they took the time to make it more user friendly for mobile and desktop users instead of being so quick to kick people off.

OnlineBookclub.org is probably as close to an outright scam as you can get without actually stepping over the line. Read the fine print and believe it! All they offer you for the big package of $ 300 is ONE review. Not even one verified Amazon review, just one ‘in depth’ review every first year college student can write. Forget the fluffy in between the lines promises about their on site activities. They amount to nothing tangible. The review: obviously the reviewer read the book and left what I would call a stereotype straight out of creative writing class one review. I lectured this stuff at college. Good and nicely done, finding lots of positives and the odd mistake for balance. Even though it was a ‘very good’ review it just smelled like an assignment. OBC is hard to contact before you pay to clarify what they actually do. Once you paid you’ll find that you can buy anything they imply you would get in the first place. Their charges are astronomical; their delivery is miniscule at best. $ 300 bought me one useless ‘expert’ review, maybe one unverified Amazon review. Whatever happened to my book on their site has produced zero sales. Just to put this in context: When I spend $ 300 for a book promotion on other sites like BB etc. I will sell around 50 books and every 100 books sold usually produce one genuine, verified Amazon review. I admit, hoping for more than one basically useless review was my own costly mistake. Don’t follow me down the rabbit hole.

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.

Absolute scam. They will get all your reviews and publish them but when it is time for them for pay up for them, they will cancel your review page. And since it has been cancelled, they won't pay you anything at all. I will complain about them to the BBB as well as FTC. They have edited my review to show mistakes that are not there in the first place. I have screenshots of all the reviews that I did. And they don't match the ones shown on the editor's notes. Also, I don't know which English classes they took because they don't seem to understand that some parts such as hyphens are subjective. Also they have the structure of the reviews which they sometimes do and do not follow. Do not waste your time here.
