BookMarketeers
Reviews and Complaints

It was sooo easy working with BookMarketeers, let me tell ya! They did an amazin' job in redraftin' my book content, and boy, were they patient! I gotta say, I'd definitely work with 'em again, no doubt about it.

I hired BookMarketeers to help market my five books. They said I would easily recoup my investment (which was big) in royalties. While they are pretty good at making websites and graphics, I don't think their work sold any of my books. They promised reviews and didn't deliver. They kept saying they were changing their strategies, and I would see a change. It didn't happen. I feel very disappointed and that I wasted my money. They also posted some incorrect ads that I had to ask them to take down. They made a trailer for my book which was about Ireland with a picture of Germans in costume. I asked them to fix it with a picture of Ireland or Irish people. They never fixed it, nor was the trailer ever used. I don't recommend hiring them to market your books. They should change their name to something that shows what they do: website creators and graphic designers.

As a first time author, I wanted professionals to market my published book to give it the best chance to be seen and read out of all the books available now. I chose them because I believed their spoken and written promises - Ben was the sales person and he certainly is good at creating trust and excitement to work with this company. BIG MISTAKE. Jack, Derek, Sean, and, most recently, Eve have all been my project managers since the end of March - like a revolving door and every time starting over with new promises and programs and being told to be patient. Even Kimberly Hills, claiming to be a company exec, promised to handle my marketing program herself to ensure satisfaction. Was unavailable at a scheduled phone conference because she was on another call and passed me off to Derek. Not the only time a scheduled meeting was blown off. They did create a website which was pretty good although misspelled my pen name which finally got corrected after the third time I pointed out and requested it to be corrected. They created a trailer which had to be redone a few times before aligning with the concept for my book but I have never been able to find it anywhere. Contact is typically made only when I prompted - often frustrated - or when they proposed another marketing option at more cost. Never saw an increase in book sales as promised - in fact, last month was the first month I sold 0 books since published and it was the month Sean told me my marketing was in full effect. That sums up my experience. Lots of lip service and no sales. If you are considering Bookmarketeers with your marketing budget, reconsider. Keep looking for marketing services that will actually help your book sell.
