Paid 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.

Paid reviews?

Post by Enigma »

Has anyone been offered a (paid) book to review in the last two weeks.

I'm checking every day. Am I missing them?
If I didn't write, I'd never sleep.

Up the Irons!!!

I know there is a shortage of review opportunities. I am just finishing up solving a few other issues before pushing harder on getting new review opportunities so that when the new opportunities come in everything runs smoothly.

I know I will not get rich reviewing books, but I was wondering when we do review any book do we still make a little bit on reviews that are not official reviews. Just wondering.

@markg11

Only official reviews, and even with those only some are paid. But who doesn't love free books? :)

As I'm not an official reviewer I can't answer much more than that :lol:

I hope this helps.

I see other members have already answered your question. I would like to add that posting unoffical reviews can indirectly help you earn money in the long run. You gain experience writing reviews, which will help you write better official reviews. Also, you are becoming a more active participant with more thoughtful posts. People may enjoy reading your unofficial reviews and keep an eye out for your official reviews when they are published. The number of views and replies for your official reviews counts in your overall reviewer score. This, in turn, can lead to you getting access to higher-paid reviews. So...it's all good. Hope this helps.

Boy, that was a mouthful. :lol:
