This company is a scam. I was ghosted by this company right before my book was to be published. Wouldn't answer the phone or return emails. Took my money and ran. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY OR THE SO-CALLED HEAD OF IT NAMED BEN WILLIAMS.

A huge waste of time and money!
I had a book published by a previous publisher which got me zero sales so I decided to switch companies and at the time I thought for sure this was the company that would get me sales. I paid $3200 for a 3-month package which, from Ben Williams not just assured me but PROMISED me 10-20 sales PER MONTH. This was his "guarantee." To date, I had 10 sales total. After asking Ben where the sales were on November 17 of 2024, miraculously from November 18 to the 24th of that same year I got 10 book sales and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING since. Seems awfully suspect to me that all of a sudden and out of the blue 10 sales come. In a nutshell, I paid over $3000 to get 10 sales. Also, according to the package plan I was supposed to receive book reviews and it was brought to me attention today that it was to be on my social media pages when it was assumed to me that it was to be on the Amazon page. Reviews on a social media account where sales don't count is ridiculous. Supposedly they were to put the book in the Library of Congress and provided me with a control #. When I search that #, it can't be found. This is what I paid for, half of which was not executed, (notated with "??"), so if you want to use this company, proceed with caution. I wasted too much time and money on them, especially after coming over from another waste of time publisher. People and companies like this really make it hard for beginner authors to achieve their dream when it's all about how much money they can drain from you.

UPDATE: This company claims to have put my book in the Library of Congress catalog but they can't show proof of it. I personally contacted the LOC and asked an on-staff librarian if it's there, and it is not.
(I have a screenshot to prove it). When I asked about this, they disappeared for weeks until my 3-month plan expired.
Worldwide Publisher also claim that before I contacted them I had zero sales. They should do their research before posting a reply, my book had 7 sales before I contacted them (I have proof of that as well).
I hope you reading this will exercise caution; they can make sparkling promises but can't deliver.
Response from Worldwide PublisherFeb 6, 2025
Hi Mr David,
Thank you so much for the detailed review.
However, in our internal audit and QA we found that most of the services have been rendered to you and we guaranteed sales based on the campaigns we created which brought 10 sales when there were 0 sales on your book.
Moreover, we provided the LCCN number to you that was sent initially when you were signed up. The website has been rendered, SEO was rendered and everything that we committed.
As far as the reviews are concerned, so the reviews were brought to your Book during the sales.
