ReadersMagnet LLCReviews of readersmagnet.com

The company promised extensive marketing and exposure, including major media interviews and book fair placements. However, what was delivered was often generic, low-impact, and fell short of expectations.

This is one of the most unreliable companies I have ever worked with. I published a book, “The Politics of Adversity” and wanted to do some extended marketing. My publisher, Liberty Hill Publishing, did an outstanding job getting my book published and included a press release and marketing campaign. I researched ReadersMagnet and saw the terrific reviews on Trustpilot. I spent $1800 (which was negotiated down from $2300) with them to do a book fair and press release. The contract I signed stated that the press release would go to “Political Contacts” which is my target audience. After four months of them trying to convince me to use “Legal Contacts” instead, I finally found out that they never had a list of “Political Contacts”. They wouldn’t refund my money so I had no choice but to use the “Legal Contacts” list. After 6 months with ReadersMagnet, using the Los Angele Times Book Fair, a digital press release, and a marketing campaign, I sold exactly 0 books. If you use these people, and I would strongly advise against it, be sure to get a copy of everything they propose to do with all the details you can get. Proceed with extreme caution!!

This company is definitely fraudulent. I initially I agreed to pay for their services but because of unforeseen circumstances I had to pull out of the deal, I requested a refund which they agreed upon yet it's been over 3 weeks and I have yet to receive it. I've talked to my contact Jessie through emails and phone calls yet nothing happens, she keeps telling me that I need to speak to her manager for which I said why can't her manager just send me a email with the details of the refund process and get it moving. I have yet to receive a phone call and when I tried answering one a week or so about from them the person on the other side of the line hangs up. I should have taken heed to the negative comments and realise the fraud earlier don't do the same.

I paid to have my book promoted. I was told it would be marketed to a movie producer. After I was informed that it had been shown to the producer, I was told I would need to pay an additional $400 for marketing materials to help convince the producer that my book had merit. When I refused to pay additional money, I was told that my book would not be shown to the producer after all.

This company has called me three times in less than an hour. I have published a book with another company. Readers Magnet wants to market my book for free. The woman on the phone when i finally answered was pushy and rude. She told me I was rude. That my book is “ stagnating” on a Amazon. Very unprofessional. I finally gently hung up. And their prices are not even on their website. Market me for free? Yeah, right.
