HelloI get several messages a week that are similar to this.They have something similar. Someone wants to promote “my book” and make it popular all over the world.
Sounds interesting, does it not? Here are some observations I have made.- Many start with “Dear Author”, which means that this person most likely scammed others with the same message.- Many wish to promote “my book.” This is strange, as I do not write books. I write short stories.- They write something that they enjoyed “my book”, but not which "book" and not why it was so good.- Most of these messages are vague- A few times when I played along, I asked how much all this would cost. I never got a concrete answer. So basically it is like writing a blank check.- Would a promotor or someone who could promote me not have credentials, like a website or an external information source where one can see their abilities and qualifications
So here are my thoughts:I doubt that these people read my stories. I think other authors like me have got the same message. I also wonder if a promotor was so successful, why they would need to spam authors on this site? For people like me that does this as a hobby, there are countless sites you can publish your story on, so making your story available for free is not a huge task. I have spoken with a professional promoter that helps people get on Amazon. He was very honest with me and said that I could be on Amazon, but then he could not guarantee success. He could not guarantee anyone success. For this reason, he only charges a percentage of what a person receives
So here is my conclusion:I write short stories as a hobby. I honestly do not think that they are good enough to publish. A potential promoter could tell me why this is wrong. They are also on different websites. Some of my stories have more than 30.000 hits, which is enough to make me smile. So what could a promoter do better? The people who do ask me to hire them as promoters do not have any evidence that they are good at what they are promising to do. At times, I find it hard to see the difference between these promoters and telephone scammers.
But if you are serious, send me your Discord ID, and we can discuss it on Discord.
