Tips for Self Promotion, Sales, and Advertising discussion

Has anyone used BookWhil.com to promote their work? If so, please comment with your true feelings, was it worth it? Did they deliver as promised? I'm looking for thoughts on both sides, good and bad experiences, so that I can make a wise decision.
Best to all, kgcummings... Kathy

Kathy,

Your best bet is to do a Google search (or an Alexa, or a Bing, or a Dogpile....) for Bookwhirl.

As a general rule of thumb, if someone approaches you and asks for your business, it means they are very interested in finding new business. (I'm thinking of the window replacement/roofing contractor/siding experts who tend to ignore the Do Not Call list and telephone you at dinner time to mention that they are in your area.)

If you are going to ask for references, a social networking site might not be the place for more than an initial inquiry.

Thank you Rowena. Initial inquiry is really what I was looking for. I did do the google research, but wondered if anyone here had any actual experience with them.

Sorry it took so long to respond, but was out of commission after my eye surgery, then I could not get on Goodreads for several days. Seems to be working okay now.

Many thanks for responding to this request.
Kathy

Kathy,

If people had a good experience, I am sure they would feel free to reply to you. Our colleagues in this group are exceptionally generous.

I've thought of another place you might try: Preditors and Editors. Google it. You might find what you are looking for.
