“I was disappointed to find that BooksGoSocial wanted me to change my book description. Too short, they claimed. They also asked me to get some reader reviews. They offered me a free place on NetGalley, but that means letting people read your book for free, which I do not agree with. I am giving 4 stars because my money was refunded in full and I was given personal advice on how to improve my book description on Amazon. I've never seen a cash refund for promotions before. I wasted hundreds on Facebook ads and had no chance to get my money back. Thank you, BooksGoSocial!”

“At present I'm not sure if my books have been put on Facebook adds as I have not seen them so I'm unable to score on that but all other things you have done ie twitter video and helpful advice has been top rate”

“Laurence, Tanya, I'll be happy to post a review, but is too early. I believe your campaign just began today, all I've actually seen is a single tweet. But I did set up my campaign with the blessing of the book's publisher, and once the campaign is underway I'll be happy to let you know of the results. Sincerely, DJ Swykert”

“I bought the smallest package because I wasn't ready to commit to anything else. I was skeptical. But ever since my promotion with Books Go Social began my ranking on Amazon has improved, which means more people are buying my book while the promotion is on. Have to think it's related. I'm pleased with the results and will promote the next book in my series with them as well.”

“Books Go Social is strong in author support. Some of their ideas are solids, like posting your book link for anyone who wants to review it (not swapping reviews). I'm not too keen on liking fan pages and having them like me back because authors liking other author pages doesn't really do a thing for your readership. It only makes you LOOK popular. The only thing I dislike is the volume of emails I get from FB alerting me to the volume of posts. I've tried turning them off to no avail since I commented on one of the more popular posts. I finally had to create a rule in my Outlook to shunt them to another folder.”

Chaela, thanks for sticking with us. I hope you are taking advantage of our free email promotion and our Facebook Reader group. I don't get emails from Facebook about my comments or posts, so I think it's a setting in your Facebook about notifications, which you have to turn off.

“Although I have paid for the service, I haven't used it. The inter action with the principal was great, I was able to get some one on one with him that was helpful. I now realize that I wasn't prepared to use the services and needed to restructure my approach to social media. At this point I am concentrating on writing and editing my eleventh book, and getting them out on Amazon, Good Reads and Smashword. Once, they are set up, then I will attempt to re-engage and try to determine how to best use your services. The main thing I have learned is that writing a book is easy, selling it is the challenge, and that requires the ability to get the book out into the public's view. All that I have accomplished, beside writing eleven books, is spend a ton of money, to the benefit of others. I look forward to one day understanding the marketing side of social media, it seems to be the catch all for selling books, and I trust that your process will be helpful in the future.”

“nice try, but campaign didn't yield the results I had hoped for. The team was gracious in refunding my money, and I will give them a try again once I have published my next book. Very professional service.”

Marios, please, ask us for a refund. Please also email me your Amazon books page, so I can give you free advice, if I see anything you might improve it. Not all book sell. But we offer refunds, public reviews and long term marketing support, free monthly emails by genre for instance, which you can be included in. If you want your money back email me today and you will get it back in 24hrs: lob@yourasms.com

Thanks, Jeffery! Please do submit your book for the free extra email promotions and blog post promotions and Facebook promotions every month in the email we send out on the 5th too!

“Thank you for the support. The tweets came up regularly and were nicely visible. A did notice though that they tended to be clustered together i.e. they would come in groups of 3 or 4 and then there would be a big space of time and intervening tweets from others, before another set would appear. Unfortunately, the tweets did not create a difference in sales or any apparent interest in the book...sigh. Thanks anyway.”

“I wrote earlier that I received zero book purchases during my campaign. Not only was I paid fully back on the same day but also, I received free advice on how to increase my book sales. Thank you BGS”

“I find communications complicated and take too long to understand. I don't have that much time I can spend on social media stuff and ration my time each place. Still your facebook page is one I go out of my way to check.”

Kay, We are working hard to make all communications easier. We have 2 short explainer videos and will have more. Please do email me for any questions. I do want you to get more out of this. Laurence O'Bryan BooksGoSocial.com lob@yourasms.com

“The initial push was pretty great. Tons and tons of tweets that I could RT when I wanted. But I believe this is presented as a yearlong subscription and I don't really see what they can do for me beyond that. I've asked about a couple of things but they don't seem to result in any kind of opportunity.”

Lia, I am sorry you are disappointed. We do have long term promotions, which I hope you can take advantage of. The two that may interest you are, your book in an email to our reader list, once a month, if your ebook is under $5 and has 5 reviews on Amazon with an average of 3.5. Plus, extra Tweets for blog posts about your book, if it's written in a readable style. We provide guides to that, which are intended to help you find readers by meeting these requirements. Please email me if you want to get involved in these. Laurence O'Bryan BooksGoSocial lob@yourasms.com

“I feel that I am not taking advantage of all of Books Go Social's marketing resources because I don't understand how to use them all. There seems like there are a lot of great tools to use but also a lot of rules. For example, I can only advertise my books on the day that corresponds to the first letter of my name. Well, I write with a pen name. So do I use my actual name or my pen name? If I use the wrong one, will it be taken down? Also, there are rules about how many reviews, etc. I have to have in order to include my book in the newsletter. Well, if this is a paid service, why should that matter? I feel like further explanation of all of the benefits with less emphasis on rules and regulations would be better. I do appreciate the fact that I got a lot of blog traffic from having my blog tweeted--but it didn't help me sell any books (maybe that's on my end.) I have not seen any significant jump in sales since I started using Books Go Social. I do enjoy the Facebook community.”

ID, I am sorry you are disappointed. We have so many members, your book would get lost if everyone posted it in our Facebook Reader group every day. Please use whatever name you use on Facebook to decide which day to post. Regarding the requirement to have 5 reviews, with an average of 3.5 to get into the emails every month, this is intended to nudge you towards improving your Amazon page. Simple put, if any author has less than that they are unlikely to sell many books. Our intention is, yes, to push you to take steps that will help your book sell. Have you joined our Facebook Author group? Many of our members are helping others with reviews and getting reviews back in return. Click or copy this link and paste it into your search bar to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/booksgosocialauthors/ Please email me if you have any questions. And please, don't give up on what we can provide. Laurence O'Bryan BooksGoSocial lob@yourasms.com

“Very friendly initial guidance given for my book promotion as I am a complete novice at marketing and they showed great patience with me. No sign of increase in sales yet but patiently awaiting results. Would also appreciate some ongoing help and constructive criticism.”
