Why Cheap Promo is No Bargain: One Unusually Prolific Example - Writer Beware (R)

Investigate before you give somebody your money.Today, Panzer stopped in at the Writer Beware (R) site. With a little digging in the posts he found one about cheap promotion sites for books. Writer Beware (R) site owner Victoria Strausss begins the post by showing how a book promo site is sending letters supposedly from a well known writer about what a great promo site it is for writers. The post then digs into who owns the promo site (and a multitude of others) and what happens once they get your money. Panzer says, "The end of the post has a checklist of things to do before you give your money to any promotion site." Note: Because Victoria Strauss goes into details about all of her investigations into the promo site, this is a very long post. You'll need to decide what you want to bring to snack on while you read.
