We monitor reviews for authenticity
Online Book club, OnlineBookClub.org, is a great site to discover new authors and books and meet people who love to talk about books, reading, and writing. I have found some great books and have improved my writing from feedback on my reviews.
OnlineBookClub has been an excellent opportunity to explore different authors and genres while fine-tuning my love for writing. I've been able to grow in the team, but I was earning money from the start. Moreover, OBC is a real community where I've met lovely, interesting people worldwide.
Has a lot of cool features, a bit more reliable to discuss books here than with friends in real life simply because there is always someone to talk with.
Onlinebookclub.org was, is, and will always be one proof to me that dreams come true. I've always fantasized about my dream job: read a book and get paid for it! I shook it off ruefully as wistful thinking while OBC must have giggled at my ignorance regarding its existence. Everyday, I'm thankful for June 30,2017 when I stumbled across this site and changed my life.
Why so sentimental?
OBC is a free club to join, but you earn lots due to the generosity of the webmaster, Scott. At the time of this review, I won, yet again, a Book of the Day Giveaway. Don't even get me started on the other rewards for being a consistent member -- twitter, first ten, BOTM monthly discussions -- or the actual earnings from being a book reviewer. Even after a year, it's still too good to be true. What about authors? The exposure and subsequent financial benefits they get from having reviews published by topnotch OBC reviewers is second to none. A win-win for all involved. Waste no time, authors and bookworms. Join onlinebookclub.org today!
I've been a member of this club for around a year already and was so happy I found this. Not only can I get books for Free or at a discount, I get paid monthly just by promoting the book. I haven't tried reviewing a book yet but will start soon. I'm excited already. Its also cool to be connected to authors!
OnlineBookClub.org is an affordable platform for first-time authors to stir awareness of their books and get their titles out there in the market. It provides an opportunity and the much-needed push for new authors in a very crowded publishing industry. It is open to a wide range of books which are fun, entertaining, informative and helpful, especially books that promote positive values, thoughts and actions. Like all businesses, the platform can still be improved further. But its growth over the years attests to its viability as a promotional platform for new authors. I hope it gets to help more authors and gets to address whatever challenges it faces in expanding its reach and influence.
Great book review site. There are numerous books to enjoy and the site is a treasure trove with numerous rewards.
At first glance I thought online book club was one of those fake website but I was wrong. I came to discover that online book club is a great site for scholars to share and gain more ideas and to be come good professionals in their. I will be great as far as this online book club is concern.
Onlinebookclub is the best book club around. You not only get high quality books for free, but the payments you receive for quality reviews are always forthcoming. I would highly recommend them to anyone who loves to read and write!
Theres never a dull moment with so many books to read for free or discounted prices. Its so awesome to be a part of the review team so authors and other reviewers can all help one another. Its a wonderful experience, and Scott Hughes and all who run it are such great people.
Wonderful to read and learn from various books to enhance my knowledge on the new trends. Looking forward to be the best reader.
I came across Online book club by chance and I have since enjoyed being part of this wonderful community. I have been able to get numerous reviews on books that I want to read and also identify new titles by indie authors. The best part of Online book club besides the community, is the free giveaways. Three times I have won $20 Amazon gift cards that have enabled me get more books.
Scott Hughes and everyone at Online book club are very supportive and professional. You can also earn from reviewing books and taking part in the social rewards platform. I would highly recommend Online book club to indie authors and avid readers.
I absolutely LOVE the OBC. The reviews are authentic and they lead me to so many free books, I'll never have time to read them all! I also love the extra cash I make reviewing books myself and winning the Book-of-the-Day on occasion. Aside from that, the discussions about books, authors, writing, and other subjects on the Forums are pretty interesting.
I joined the site some months ago, and I have been rewarded with the giveaways already twice. OBC is a very commendable and trustworthy club.
I've been a member if the book club for about a year. I've won a gift card in their giveaways and I've watched as several novels have made the Amazon best sellers lists.
I was skeptical about using the club to promote my novels, but I'm going to use their services for my initial marketing in the next year

Online Book Club is a great way to learn about new books and get a chance to review them. Scott Hughes and the administrative team are very helpful.
I did not have a problem with OnlineBookClub.org when my book was first reviewed, as it received a good review and was given for "free," although I was a little miffed that I needed to buy a "promotion package" to get the review bumped up for quicker posting on the site.
But since the time my review was posted and I paid the nominal fee for entry, the site owner has escalated the costs of reviews (saying they are competing with Kirkus Reviews, which is, at best, a major stretch) as follows, which I thought might sway authors looking for a review site for their books:
For $ 297 you can get a review of your book in one month.
For $ 199 you can be interviewed for the website!
And you could spend thousands on reviews or other "promotion packages" if you wish! (Eg., a 3 month social media Book of the Month campaign for a mere $ 8600!)
