Except bookbite is 300 a year so yeah you're paying 300 bucks for 40 reviews. I get that most internet hustles are about affiliate marketing and making money off people signing up for services you refer but I hate it when people clickbait with "free tools" that are actually very expensive.
Guess it's just the nature of the game these days.

Wait, let me get this straight, correct me if I'm wrong. You must give yourself 10 days buffer period for reviewers on Book Bite to find your book and submit a request and for yourself to approve whomever you choose to review your book (correct?), it takes Book Bite "usually 24 hours" (could be longer to approve) and then you must choose how long the reviewer has to read (3 or 4 days) So 10 days buffer period + 1 day (24 hours for approval) + 3 days (to review) Is that conveniently the length of the trial or am I just reading too much into that? What happens after the trial period ends? Do you actually have to pay to access the reviews? If so, then it's not free, and I don't know about you guys, but I really hate when companies give you a free trial, but you have to enter your banking details, 🤦‍♂

As someone who has been trying to accumulate coins by reviewing other people's books before i launch my own...the process sucks. You have to send a request before you can review most of the books, you can only send 2 requests at a time and a lot of the time no one responds to the request so it just ends up expiring after 24hrs. Then you repeat and do the whole thing over again and hope this time the books you choose actually accepts the request. An entire week can go by and you might only have had a chance to review 1 book. On top of that it seems like there are hardly any books on there to review.

KDP Select is a trap. Amazon get exclusive rights for 90 days. Page reads pay 10% of net (after royalties).

I'm in the process of taking all my books off KDP Select and going wide.

I'm getting hits on my website, I'm getting sales, I don't need it.

Always great information, Dane! Thanks

[TheSKINmag]

Thank you so much! This was really helpful :) Just signed up and submitted my book. Been trying to figure this out for a while now.

[jamesroth]

Right to the point. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Great video, loved the let’s learn Arabic book!

Hi Dane! Thank you for your video. As I understood, Bookbite can be use to get reviews for low-content books. I tried to make for a coloring book and I wasn't able to do it (I enter to "promote and advertise", and there is no option. What suggestion do you have to obtain Verified Purchase Review for coloring books? Thank you!

[linabaceliene]

Thank you! Very informative, no nonsense

[kkc]

Great video, Dane. Is Bookbite suitable for someone who has not written any reviews? How many reviews should an individual have before joining Bookbite?

[CorneOberholzer]

Hi thanks for video. How does the $50 Amazon spend requirement to leave reviews affect Bookbite reviews? I mean from what I understand the review means nothing unless the reviewer has spent $50 on Amazon in last 12 months. Is this correct? Thanks

[kaywolf]

This is a great video and thanks for the good work.

Thank you! Currently struggling with this. I recently released my debut poetry collection, something I have waited to do my entire adult existence, and there is an unverified one star rating on it with no other ratings 🤦🏻‍♀️

I know the book is well done and the poems were curated from over a period of YEARS.

Definitely frustrating! But not disheartening. I know I am at least a good writer, lol. But why would anyone do this?

Hoping to see some better reviews roll in soon, thanks for these suggestions!

[NaturesWooers]

Thank you for this helpful information. I have a question, Do I need an independent ISBN to be able to upload my book to Bookbite? Because, I have the free one from KDP.

[genirugova]

Sorry but do these services you just mentioned pose risks to KDP Accounts?

[cherylbarker]

Hi Dane, will this work for books that I've already published but have no sales or reviews? Or does it only work on new books? Thanks.

[milajones]

Do the reviews show up in both the book and the paperback book? Thank you for sharing this information, your videos are helpful.

If you're offering your book during a free KDP book promotion, it's already available for free on kindle during those promo days -- so do you still have to upload your book to bookbite, or can you just list the link? I've seen folks on Reddit claim their books were stolen (and then offered as pirated copies elsewhere) after uploading the pdf or epub on book review sites. Also, do you need to have already earned "coins" by reviewing other people's books in order to take advantage of the KDP promo on bookbite? Or do the "coins" only get you unverified reviews?
