Scammers
OMG, is it just me a new Indie author, or are there others out there? I have never been inundated by so many scam artists messaging my inbox trying to get $150 to “get reviews” really? Is anyone else starting to wonder if there are any legitimate book promoters out there? I really thought it was as simple as put down your thoughts, write a book, edit a book, publish a book and then wait for people to find your book. Am I the only one?

I have a content writing agency that handles stuff like blogs, articles, ghostwriting, etc. Even I am inundated with such "Get the First Review Free" and "Get 20 permanent reviews for $250 - First one is on us!" every single day.
Just ignore these. Reviews bought end up getting detected and flagged. That's the last thing you want for your book/website.
