No More Free Reviews?

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

No More Free Reviews?

Post by cnsamson »

Last year I requested and received a review of my ebook on this site, and it cost nothing. Today I went to request a review of a new book, but now it seems that payment is required. So I guess there are no longer any free reviews available here?

Yes, we are no longer accepting volunteer review requests for a few reasons. A couple are as follows:

1-- There are already more requests for free reviews than we could probably ever get through.

2-- The volunteer reviews used to be done by newer reviewers while we were vetting them for the premium opportunities. However, it is important that our readers have maximum faith in the 'Official OnlineBookClub.org Review' label to know that any review and rating they read with that label is coming from a vetted, high quality reviewer. These are professional reviews and professional quality is expected from all of them. I have come up with better ways to vet new members of the review team. To reiterate, all reviews we publish are of professional quality. The service our reviewers provide is an amazing value and incredibly professional and cannot be provided for free. The prices are extremely generous as they are. Thank you for your understanding. :)
