It was a 5-star experience working with OnlineBoolClub.org. There was excellent pre-day checklist that was easy to follow, and they so expertly put the ad for the book together. It was exciting to see how many people responded with great comments. In the process, you hear from new people, have a chance to respond to their comments, and make new friends to follow. Altogether, a great experience.
Thanks to the Online Book Club Book of the Day promotion, my book became number one in its category on Amazon! And the funny thing is that wasn't even the best thing. I loved interacting with readers. Seeing their comment made the work worthwhile.
How stunned was I to see the notice that my book was number one in its category on Amazon! That was only possible because of the Online Book Review Book Of The Day Promotion! Great competent staff, great fun, and just what was necessary for this controversial book.
Always there for you, even when not wanted, and always eager to help and please.
The interaction was pleasant and the situation required information being forwarded and received and thus it was much appreciated.
Excellent service with a variety of options for indie Authors. I selected advertising and promo for Book of the Day on July 5th. As a result I became an Amazon best seller in my category. The team were so efficient and easy to work with and really understand how to support authors.
I was excluded without a valid reason. Over time, Amazon blocked my comments and required me to make €40 in purchases first. As a result, I am no longer able to validate my reviews on Amazon. I can still submit my reviews on OBC, but you refused to understand the situation and excluded me. This is unfair. You are treating everyone like liars because of a technical issue that is beyond our control.
Very much a sexy cozy realistic read! A must have for romance, surprises and real life takes place! Love the Authors character.
You have now sent me 4 (four) surveys. I have rated 5 stars on everyone. If you send me another, I will drop the rating to 4 stars. For every further survey you send me, I will drop the rating by another star.
I am a digitally deficient 91-year-old published author. Your author support, and Nisha the Book of the Day responsible agent treated me with extreme patience and courtesy as I struggled with internet jargon filled instructions. They are a thoroughly professional team. Stanislas Yassukovich
I have to admit I was skeptical at first, but I just got paid for my first book review post for OnlineBookClub.org, and it was exactly what I expected and didn't take long at all, which was awesome. Now, let me be clear, I was only told to read the book (which was free) and give my 100% honest review on said book, and that was it.
I wasn't told to specifically write a good or bad review, just to be honest and follow the guidelines set forth by them, which was super simple to follow.
I'm very happy to have found this site and am now able to read books and get paid to do so right from the comfort of my own home, no strings attached. For a stay-at-home mother of 2 under 3years old, who loves to read, this makes a great side gig for me.
It was fun seeing the exposure my book got when it was book of the day. Sales were helpful and i truly believe that readers must see your /my book quite a few times to decide to buy and read. This experience helped a lot and I enjoyed it. If you want your book seen, this is a good plan! Recommend,
The platform is easy to navigate and the steps are easy to understand. Theirs never a time when something isn't clearly explained. The books are usually good and fun to read, and earning a few bucks while doing it, is always a bonus! The choice selection ranges from before conception, and birth, all the way to preparing to pass on, and everyone in between. Theirs always something for everyone!
I found that Online Book Club values good books and devotes considerable energy to promoting them. I have had several experiences with my books--a first and a second edition of LOVE, LUCK, AND NARCISSISM: WHEN POPULAR CULTURE GETS IT WRONG and have had very positive experiences with them.

Received a 5-star book review, but thought the review was not more than a good synopsis of the work.
And a mention of one character the reviewer liked and one he wasn't crazy about. Nothing on the writing, story construction, or any thoughts on the quality of the writing. Past reviews gave me memorable quotes that I could use for marketing. This is not a review I can see using outside the Online Book Club.
OnlineBookClub with Nisha D'Souza tried to help me in every way to be on their Book of the Day (BOTD). However, Amazon in its many sites was inconsistent with the information BOTD wanted and hurt my presentation. I will work with OnlineBookClub to try to correct the situation, and I am sure they will be helpful.
I read a book that I picked from a list I received from Book Club. I proceeded to review this book and days after I posted I was sent a very rude description of my review. Even though I checked my spelling and grammar with an AI program I was told I had very poor spelling and many punctuation mistakes. I wasn't told where the mistakes were or how thoroughly I reviewed the book.
I wrote an excellent review TWICE for the same book ( because they kept saying that the first one wasn't good enough) and yet the second review has never been approved! What a waste of my time!
I joined the organization in the hope that my recently published book would be reviewed. The people with whom I had email contact understood that I am somewhat technologically inexperienced, so I got help with everything that was required of me.
Quick responses with any and all questions/enquiries, would recommend to all new authors regardless of genre of writing.
I completed my first book review the other day and got an email soon after that payment was sent. I'm onto my second book that I will review soon. It's easy to navigate the website and choose a book that looks interesting to you. Then they give you the timeline for when they want updates and guidelines for reviewing. The review process is easy and sometimes you need to post a shorter review on Amazon, and that's easy for me too. I'm having fun so far and even if I don't love every book, that's okay. It's all about the honest review.

Some of them are writing a short summary, answering - What did you best like/least like about the book and why? - rating the book, etc. Each review is checked for grammar and if it followed the guidelines by an editor, and then it will be published, and the reviewer is awarded points and paid. Each review must be at least 400 words. Look on the website under guidelines to get all of the requirements for writing reviews.
Answer: Hi Hamaze, can you describe the game? We have daily giveaways where we draw prizes each day, but there's no game aspect to it and it doesn't cost money.

Answer: Hi, Bruce, You can sign up as a reviewer at: https://onlinebookclub.org/free-books-for-reviews.php Thank you, Scott
Answer: To get paid you need to do paid reviews. But since you are new, you'll have to do at least one volunteer/unpaid review. This is so that the moderators can see how well you are able to keep to the guidelines. There are six reviewer levels in total. The higher levels offer review opportunities with higher payouts. Writing good reviews following guidelines and participating within the bookclub will help get you to higher levels. Hope that helps!
