Write Your review

I hired BooksGoSocial because I do not like to self promote. I would be happy to pay for promotion if it were effective. Unfortunately, the promotional campaign BGS did for me which consisted of my book's mention (I Came by Cab) on their site as well as a twitter campaign had zero effect. I do not believe I sold a single book during it's run. I still think my book is good. My reviews are all 5-star. Unfortunately after its first year, the book has done nothing. I have no complaints about BGS's service in the sense that the company quickly replied to my emails and answered my questions. It was all very professional but, sadly, it did not work.

Hi Robin, please, ask us for a refund if you are unhappy. 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

BooksGoSocial.com has a a wide variety of books from all genres to choose from. The website is easy to navigate and user friendly. Browsing is enjoyable as a first page preview is available. BooksGoSocial offers an excellent support service for authors, author interviews and a Reader Group. I highly recommend BooksGoSocial.

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.

They services they provided helped to raise my author ranking in Amazon. My Titus Ray Thrillers have received widespread reviews and purchases after using their services. Thanks for a great job!

I bought a month and stopped all other marketing efforts in order to see the result. There was no result. My sales dropped to a flatline for the month. I have much better result from promoting on Facebook with a 5.00 ad on my author page and also the Facebook groups I have joined. I would not recommend your service.

Though I did gain more exposure through the BooksGoSocial program, and I know that their team did everything possible to direct attention to my books, I did not experience an appreciable increase in sales. My books are professionally edited with a pro cover, garner good reviews and have a small, loyal fan base, but the Books Go Social program unfortunately has not had a tremendous effect of moving the needle on sales. This could be due to the fact that I write a series, and that sometimes puts new readers off--or because I write in the crowded mystery/thriller genre. That said, I think the BooksGoSocial concept is viable and worth considering as part of any author's marketing plan,

So far, I have not had one sale directly tied to the tweets by your group. As far as the BooksGoSocial website, the time I am allowed on there is so limited, it is of very little value. Instead, I am on twenty-three other related writer/reader FB pages where I receive far, far greater response. The money I have spent has not been worth what I have gotten out of BooksGoSocial. I am deleting and blocking all relating posts from BooksGoSocial.

I really didn't know what to expect here. There have been a few sales, but not enough to cover the cost of the promotion. Hopefully it is expanding my reader base and will help with future sales,

While they did exactly what was promised in terms of promoting my book, I saw no real uptick in my sales. Price point was too high for my ultimate outcome.

The company worked with me to promote my book. Believe they put through every effort possible in an efficient and business-like manner.

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 purchased the 49$ package that ran for 1 week and today was the final day. Honestly, no one bought my book for the whole period. I am not even exaggerating. Literally, the number of people who bought the book was zero.

As Soad notes above, he was refunded in full, fast. Some books we just can't help with. But we do keep our promise to refund if it doesn't work out. About 1% ask and get a full refund, fast.

It's been 24 hours, I've paid my money, and I have yet to hear from the company. Wondering if they exist?

We refunded Diana within 24hrs. In full. Her book was a weight loss/fitness book, which we don't do well promoting. We have self help and a lot of other non fiction books, but weight loss & dieting are genres we stay away from.

I love using Books Go Social! Every time we use the Twitter service we see a bump in books purchased via Amazon. The people at BGS are easy to work with and super nice. I highly recommend their services if you need to increase awareness for your title!
