GBBGS, you are awesome :) I have recently self published a book, but was clueless about marketing. I hired BGS for their silver package. It was set up for me quickly, and I was able to see the promo posts go up on Twitter several times a day. The marketing person I was assigned was Denis. He replied to my emails within twelve hours, and was friendly and polite. One of the most important things to me is rapport and relatability with whoever I’m working with. The publishing business can be pretentious and very formal, and the the publishing company I used previously sent me generic copied and pasted replies, and the emails were impersonal. When you’ve put your heart and soul into a book, you need to know that the people who are looking after your book know you, know the book, and have a vested interest in its success. I feel that BGS give me the feeling of security and that close working relationship that is so important. In retrospect, I wish I had discovered BGS before I employed another company to initially publish my book. I was happy with the service given to me with the silver package, and it did generate a few sales and reviews to help with gaining awareness of the book’s release. Nothing incredible happened, but BGS worked hard and it definitely helped, alongside a bit of my own promo. I have now employed BGS to set up and run my Amazon ads (which to be frank, is a pain in the ar*e for anyone with limited knowledge!). I have yet to see if the ads generate sales, but if they do, I will keep using BGS indefinitely. Real people with good souls. Top notch, dedicated service. Great pricing structure for indie authors.

IDBooksGoSocial really is the best! I struggled for many months to learn the intricacies of launching a successful marketing campaign for my self-published serial thriller series THE MAGDALENE PROPHECY. Then I found BooksGoSocial. I was immediately inspired with confidence by their excellent team of brilliant, engaged and truly capable team-members. From the very start, my path to success was well laid out. As time passed, I continued to benefit by the knowledge and skills BGS is always very open in sharing. I'm thrilled with the results so far. My books have 4.5 to 5 stars and reviews have continued to increase -- not to mention a steady rate of sales that eclipse the results I was seeing on my own. I remain a BGS client as I prepare to launch Book Three in my series. With almost half a year of successful marketing under our belts, which enabled the identification of the very best channels and formats to showcase my books, the action plan is to increase our ad-spend significantly and place my titles before an even larger audience. BGS has earned my confidence, and I'm excited to be taking this next big step with them! I highly recommend BooksGoSocial and in particular their amazing team, including Tanja at the frontline, Marija, Ajish and the others -- and of course Laurence at the helm. They really are the best!

GBBooks Go Social is a great company... Books Go Social promised to run Amazon ads for 3 months and they delivered... They promised to send out Tweets for 3 months and they delivered... They promised to get me book reviews on NetGalley and I got 4 5-star book reviews... Books Go Social also got me a very positive editorial review... They also sent out 2 highly effective email blasts... They also allowed me to post ads on their Facebook page... I sold about 20 eBooks with Books Go Social's help... I also talked to Laurence O'Bryan on the phone twice, he's the founder of the company... I think Books Go Social is a great company...

GBBooks Gone Social is my secret weapon… Books Gone Social is my secret weapon to cracking better sales on Amazon. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Laurence and Tana of BGS for the past four years and two books. They are both pros, share their knowledge, and are responsive to me, the customer. Most importantly, their bills for 3rd-Party Amazon advertising have paid for themselves for years. The results of their advertising campaigns for my two books were easily measured and well worth the cost. I do not consider these services optional for any of my books. Amazon has essentially created a system where outside help like that offered by BGS is required, and anyone thinking that you can just put a book on Amazon and it will sell is deluding themselves. In my case, when I first bought BGS services, I had a reasonable flow of sales that grew very clearly as soon as Lawrence and Tana worked their advertising magic. The before and after graphs were very compelling. So, thanks to BGS for such fabulous service. I am working with them now on a new book and consider them part of my book launch team.

GBSupport for the indie author BGS is the only author support service I use. They truly understand the needs and concerns of the indie author. The only reason I can’t give them a 5star rating is because of the slow response time between Ireland and California. I sometimes had to wait a week or more to hear back from them.
