Ok I will break my rule of not getting a book that starts with someone else's words in the description because you said the magic word.

Ok, this is actually a good book.
Thank you for including the cookie recipe which sounds fabulous because your chapter titles made me hungry.
Well done.

Thanks Dr. Drib, I will now know that it is perfectly okay for a new user with 1 post to post promotional messages as long as they are pretty good.

Nothing wrong with that, just that most forums frown on this kind of behaviour, because it encourages hit and run tactics.

Users posting promotional messages in their first post usually do not not stick around.

Maybe ScottAlanTurner can comment on his intentions to stick around

Actually almost anyone* can promote their book on this forum provided they follow the guidelines. The book does not have to be good.
This one just happened to have fallen into the good category.

Now if an author or other promoter does not read the guidelines and violates them, the thread will be deleted whether the poster has 1 post or 7,000 posts.

*I say almost anyone because this is a family friendly site and "adult" content is not permitted.

Interesting to hear the feedback. I clicked through to Amazon and the book has 50 5-star ratings, all written within a 3 day period, and no reviews in the weeks following. I'm not quite sure how (if?) a book manages that without gaming the system.

Makes sense. That was his first free days.
You give a book away, you get some reviews.
These are long reviews. They ain't the gamer reviews.
It is called the book is actually good.

I can think of a half a dozen authors that get many reviews the first day.
They use advance review copies.
They aren't gaming the system. They are marketing their books.


Here is how to get many reviews.
Have at least 500 people grab your book. If you know people in your industry, that is easier. Then if only 10% review it, that is 50 reviews.

Write a good book, get good reviews. Write a bad book, get bad reviews or all pidgin English 5 star reviews. Write a mediocre book, don't expect many reviews.


Veronica Roth got over 5000 reviews in one day. The day the book was released. Did she game the system. She did that with 2 out of three books.
