My experience with BookVillage after one month
I discovered BookVillage through the interview on YouTube. I’m not a beginner publisher, so when I listened to Adriano’s explanations, I immediately understood how valid his points were. I had already realized for some time that something wasn’t quite right with the other platforms, but as long as reviews were coming in and there were no major issues, I chose to ignore it, as I think most people did.
Since October, however, the situation on Amazon has changed drastically. At that time I was still using another platform, and in a short period of time two of my books were blocked, including one for which I had never even received reviews during the free promo. This goes against what many experts claim when they say that only free promo reviews can trigger KDP book blocks.
From that moment, I unsubscribed from that platform and stopped publishing new books altogether, simply because I no longer had a simple and reasonably affordable way to obtain reviews. And I’m sure that many others like me put their publishing business on hold from that point onward. In my opinion, the truth is that the alternative review services that are being promoted instead of these platforms are simply too expensive.
After watching the interview, I immediately realized that Adriano had a deep understanding of the situation. So I decided to test BookVillage while strictly following their guidelines. I post three reviews per week (all paid verified purchases) and in just over four weeks I received exactly 13 paid verified reviews on one of my books.
All of the reviews I received are currently live on Amazon, except for one that I received on the uk marketplace which, although still live, is not displayed on .com (don't know why).
Now I’m considering purchasing the annual subscription. I’m very satisfied with this platform.
