I was sold on a $50 a month program that would pay for everything over time. What really happened was that I keep being told I have to pay hundreds and even thousands of dollars now for services. That unclear sales pitch has left me questioning your company's ethics.

Hello William, thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand why you would want clarification, and we appreciate the opportunity to address them. We would like to clarify that no publishing company or marketing provider can ethically guarantee a specific number of book sales. Book sales are influenced by many factors, including reader interest, market demand, competition, timing, and the effectiveness of a book's overall positioning. What consistent marketing can do, however, is increase a book's discoverability, visibility, and reach, giving it more opportunities to be seen by potential readers. This is why ongoing and consistent marketing can be important to a book's long-term exposure and potential sales. What we can guarantee is the fulfillment and delivery of the specific deliverables included in each marketing service purchased. Our responsibility is to carry out the agreed-upon marketing service and provide the corresponding deliverables as outlined. Regarding the additional services and costs you mentioned, we would also like to clarify that these are marketing opportunities and recommendations, not mandatory payments or requirements. From time to time, our team may present services that we believe could further expand your book's reach, visibility, or audience. These are simply options for you to consider based on your goals and budget. You are not required to purchase them, and we do not force authors to proceed with any additional service they do not wish to pursue. We regret if our previous communications gave you the impression that these additional services were obligations or that further payments were necessary for your existing services. That was not our intention. We aim to be transparent about what each service provides and to allow you to decide which opportunities, if any, are appropriate for you. We value your trust and appreciate you bringing this concern to our attention.
