BookRaid

The best bang for my bucks

You pay for performance, which is unique. I don't know any other service like that.

Impressive so far

Only used once, but already signed up for another promo as the results were good. It's good that it's pay per click with the cap so you know the maximum spend, and also won't pay as much if your book doesn't do so well.

Best Dashboard, period.

If you're here, you know about Bookraid's dashboard. By far it is the best and most informative dashboard for any newsletter and I hope to see their mailing list grow. Their pricing structure is incredibly fair and is results oriented, working more like advertising than flat-rate newsletters which can result in 0 sales.

Great results!

I’ve always had a profitable return when I advertise my Cozy Mysteries with Book Raid. It’s reasonable, so I use it often! Highly recommend.

Top Tier promo site

Book Raid is a no brainer for me. I'm a wide romance author and I LOVE the dash where I can see how many people clicked on each retailer.

Steady Winner

Worked great when my books were in KU and especially wide. It's awesome to see the data and I can get a good idea of where my books will find readers.

Of course

I promote through Book Raid with nearly every promotion I run. I'm rarely unsatisfied with a 99c or a free promo run. Definitely recommend to augment a promotion.

Good for the Price

I write women's fiction, romance, and rom com. For the price and CPC structure, I like Book Raid. My 99c books never get as many clicks, but I've had good results with free books. I use this service often when stacking promos.

Unique pay per click/results model

What I appreciate the most about Book Raid is the unique feature of paying only for the clicks you receive, and the price capping at $60. This, I think, really distinguishes the site from others and makes it much more affordable for authors who may not (yet) have the budget for more expensive sites. I've found it to be more effective for traffic than having my book in bookfairs which would come in at a comparable cost.

Pay Per Clicks is well worth while

I'd always use Book Raid to back up other promotions. Pay per click and price capping makes it totally affordable and well worthwhile.

High "value" site

Book Raid nearly always produces a positive ROI. If I do a 7-day promo I always start with Book Raid which is the most difficult position because my book's ranking is usually at its worst on that date. Great site.

Great for free books

I have been using Book Raid for promotions for over three years. I find them great for free book promotions. For my past four free books, I've received over 500 downloads. I highly recommend.

Bookraid

This site is quick and easy to use, it is very easy to navigate between pages and to set up a promotion is so easy, it must be one of the easiest to do. I will be using this site as well as Fussy Librarian as both these sites work well.

I love the PPC

Now, I realize I'm not leaving the best review of them on their own site, but I'm trying to be fair. I've only used BookRaid once, in '20, on a free steamy PNR. I had two other promos booked the same day, and that day's performance fell right in the middle. I attributed a lot of the downloads that day to one of the other promos I had that day since they are a bigger/better known newsletter, but there's no way for me to be sure since I haven't tried them on their own. Back then the max was $40, so I wasn't really disappointed with the results. I actually thought I'd tried them again but it's not in my records if I did. I'd probably be willing to try them again simply due to the PPC model since it seems more fair than a blanket price for what are sometimes crappy results.

Awesome

I love that you only pay for actual interested readers. I will continue to use this service over and over.

Love the PPC

5 stars alone for the PPC model. I think its only fair. My books set to free do 100x better than when they are 99c. I write historical fiction.

So Worth It

The unique structure makes them ALWAYS worth it. The better your promo does, the more you pay, so you have essentially zero risk, and the total amount you can end up paying is capped so you'll never go over budget. I will always use them for this reason. There's never a reason to not use them. And I've seen real success too. I'm never left wishing for better results.

Guaranteed success

I have used BookRaid twice now and both times have ended up with a great number of book orders that have propelled me into the Amazon best sellers lists. I'll be coming back for more and recommend any indie author to give this a try.

Great ROI

I've used Book Raids for a number of my books and have seen sales for a fraction of the price of many of the other promotion sites. The pay-per-click works in the author's favor.

Peacetaker Series

I've already written this review - and though I was signed-into the site, it would not let me post it. That is the first red flag about a site that raises for me. I write in several genres. I promoted at least four of those with BookRaid back in 2016. I have not gone back because, frankly the money they charge can be utilized elsewhere for far better sales results. I'm sure there are writers who received better results from BookRaid's promotion. I didn't.

Like it so far

Tried BookRaid for the first time, and so far, I am very pleased. I will definitely use them again.

My favourite site

It was great for promotion of my book (SciFi for 0.99$). It worked very well on Amazon.

Best Value for Money

Per usual, Bookraid is the best value for money promo site. It's pay-per-click model that doesn't demand too much and guarantees clicks for pay is unbeaten by any competitors. Will use again!

Desiree's Revenge

This site delivers. It reports the number of clicks you get. With all my books, the clicks exceeded the fee cutoff. Of course, there's no way to tell how many of these clicks resulted in sales.

Great service

I have advertised with BookRaid many times now, and always had a good result. I particularly like the pay-per-click model which, provided you have a good conversion rate, offers an excellent ROI.

Joe the Fruitful

They are very good as they charge only per clicks and there will be some down loads from my experince
