Writing speaking my truth has been my biggest blessing that I have accomplished it took me about a year and a half to put it all together I was really scared to tell the world my story but as soon as it came out I was able to breathe a sigh of relief and I hope people from all walks of life can relate to my story and always speak their truth.

I recently went to Google and typed in the search bar, "Book Reviewer Jobs" I found reedsy.com on the top of the search result. The tittle of the site, "17 Legitimate Sites That Pay Reviewers" was very catchy and I jumped into it. You may get surprised that kirkusreviews.com was on the first rank in the article. My curiosity led me to the trustpilot.com to find the reviews of both sites. I came a cross many positive reviews of reedsy then I jumped towards the kirkus.com and got shocked to see only two reviews and those two reviews were not good too. Then I personally went to kirkusreviews.com and found nothing bad there. That shocking experience inspire me to give a positive review on suggestion based. On the base of my little experience I'll like to give some healthy and productive suggestions to the site owner. I often use to visit trust pilot every time I come a cross a new website to know how much the particular site is value able in the eyes of it's users, clients etc. By frequently visiting the trust pilot I observed one thing very closely that the active site owners also come here. They not only bear the negative reviews but also try their best to satisfy their reviewers. This is what I want to say that what may one think but customer is God. 2. You must never disappoint your clients because a client is your first and foremost advertisement of your site. So always be humble towards them and try to solve their problems as much as possible. 3. Positive negotiation leads to the possible solution. 4. It takes much time to reach at the top. I will say it is easy to be at the first rank. But the thing that is the hardest one to maintain that position till the last breadth. 5. Self reviewing is the best review one can ever imagine. Always see the things happening around. Ask several questions from yourself. Try to find the new and different ways and reach at the possible solutions of the occurring problems.
