Good price, solid performance

Always get some sales, not huge numbers but it's good value.

Good not great

Perhaps I'm being a little harsh here but my results with Bookdoggy have been sub-par. However, it's pricing bumps it up as it's one of the lower priced out there. It's a good start to stacking newsletters.

Pretty much always when stacking

Bookdoggy always delivers for me. Pretty much... always. For free and 99c and for the price, I highly recommend.

For stacking

I didn't see good results when I tried them, but for $20-25 it's not a bad one to try with stacking. Could be that my genre wasn't a great fit.

Good For Stacking

Certainly one of my favourites as a reader. As an author I've used them for stacking with good, steady results, nothing extreme. Good value for stacking with other promo sites.

Good for steamy PNR, great for SFR

I've only used them twice, both times on free books. The first time was for a PNR. I had other promos booked the same day, and that day fell in the middle as far as performance. The second time I booked them by themselves for a SFR, and once again it's day fell right in the middle as far as performance, but I still had almost 1k downloads that day. It's been a few years, and back then it was only $18, and I consider that an awesome return. By now they should have a bigger audience and I need to remember to use them again.

Among the best !

I've run dozens of ads on their list and always get excellent results, especially with free books. Not only that, they let you add your book page (either your own or your Amazon book page) and your Amazon series page, if the book is part part of a series, without charging you extra. $21 for free books, $24 for discounted books. You also can get a 20% discount on either of these by buying five or more promo codes at one time (for use anytime). Makes the $21 ads cost $16.80. One of the better deals around, in my opinion.

The Swiss Army Knife of Promo - MUST HAVE.

I've used BookDoggy for several different kinds of promotions. 1. Discounted Book Sales($24 as of Oct 2024) - Made back my money and was THRILLED that I could include not just my author website, but have it mention that my newsletter came with a freebie AND also link to the Amazon Series Page. AMAZING. I got almost immediate sell-through and I attribute it to the link to the series page. And while I didn't get any direct sales, I was also over the moon that I could include my direct sales link! Another happy bit of luck is being able to promo an audible link! One of my books just got a spiffy audiobook and I've been trying to recoup the narrator expenses as quickly as possible. More people purchased the audiobook while they were there than purchased from audiobook specific promos. 2. Reader Magnet Promo ($21 as of Oct 2024) - Absolutely best Bang For My Buck when it comes to my newsletter. It was super easy to set up. My Reader Magnet was advertised as a free book and when the reader clicked, they were taken to my StoryOrigin reader magnet sign up page. Within hours, I had 60 new subscribers. In the days that followed, I ended up reaching over 100 new newsletter subscribers. They've all been active and engaged subscribers with solid open and click rates! Considering I have twice paid $50 for a Cravebooks giveaway that netted 125 new members with abysmal open rates, I'd say this is the best thing I have done to quickly ramp up my newsletter. 3. Review Copy Promo ($21) - Easy to set up and while I didn't get hundreds of sign ups like I did for my reader maget, I did get 10 requests and 4 solid reviews from this. I linked to my StoryOrigin ARC sign up page, which means people did need to create a StoryOrigin reader account, request the book, and wait for me to approve it. I imagine these extra steps are what caused the results to not be the landslide like I saw with the reader magnet, but still! For the number of people that requested, this came out cheaper than BookSirens per person, and I have hope that a few more people will leave reviews eventually. I've already booked a few more promos from BookDoggy and they have a permanent spot in my Promo Line Up. I'm in the middle of editing another reader magnet, and definitely will be promoting it on BookDoggy before the end of the year.
