FAQ
Q. I’ve taken my chances and chosen your FREE BONGO BOOST rather than gone for guaranteed exposure (as little as $9.99) but it sent me to Paypal. What’s going on?
A. Don’t fret. It happens automatically. You can just close that page. Your form will have been submitted to us. But why not invest $9.99 in a BUMP, and get your book featured on our site for a lifetime?
Q. Do you have a minimum review requirement?
A. No.
Q. Do you promote erotica?
A. If it is in poor taste, no – otherwise, why not?
Q. Do you promote books that contain graphic violence?
A. Whether we like it or not, most of us thankfully don’t, violence is part of this world and books will reflect that. So yes.
Q. Do you promote books that contain profanity?
A. See above!
Q. Does my book need to be on special promotion?
A. Your book does not need to be free or discounted but it helps big time if it is. It might seem counter-intuitive to give away a book you have toiled over, but if you are new to the scene or looking to stimulate an older title, giving away your hard work can be the best way to gain a following.
With our PREMIUM service, we post the details of your promotion on Facebook groups dedicated to spreading the word about books like yours. Followers to these sites amount to over 500,000 people and the numbers are continuously growing. Our team know where and when to post your book to make it count. If your book is free or discounted we can post to many more sites. If your book is not free or discounted, please stipulate the price in USD, and provide the dates you desire your promotion to run.
Q. Does the promotion happen in a single day, on the first day of the date range?
A. Not necessarily. We will put it on our homepage on the first day, but post it on different social media at the best times to reach our audiences.
Q. Where do your links point to?
A. On our website, links will go directly to the amazon store in the browser’s location. So a UK user will be shown the book on amazon.co.uk, and a US user on amazon.com etc. Our email promotions have links to the amazon.com store where most of our subscribers are based.
Q. Why should I choose BookBongo?
A. We take the hard work out of book promoting, so authors can get on with writing. We are an ambitious team, and at the very least you will add to your online presence.
Q: Why is BookBongo so useful to authors?
A: With our system you continue to advertise long after your promotional period has ended. Each new book page we create carries an advert positioned at the bottom of the page for three randomly chosen books in the same genre. This way your book will continue to be seen by readers looking at similar fiction for a lifetime.
