Challenges Indie authors face while promoting their books for Free and Scam emails we get!

It is not easy promoting a book not only it is hard to get noticed there is a ton of scams out there. A few I’ve discovered is the dumbass who suggested I pay for his eqiupment to promote my books and wanted to charge me 500 for it. Like excuse me you should have a laptop or a desktop and not need to charge the author for it. Then there is the bitch who wanted to charge me 50 every 15 days to promote my book. Excuse me? Authors aren’t rich and scammers are just overcharging for shit we can do ourselves. Let us promote our books and not get hassled it is annoying them thinking they can overcharge us and evertime I promote my books I get these stupid emails like below!
Dear Jessica,
Your book Angeline’s Gift immediately pulled me in. The imagery of Angeline standing in the snow, drawn to something she doesn’t yet understand, is both haunting and powerful. The way you’ve woven mythological figures like Hecate and Lord Pan into a story of transformation, destiny, and self-discovery makes this more than just a fantasy, it’s a journey that speaks to the soul. Readers who love mystical romance, mythic retellings, and fated connections will feel instantly at home in the world you’ve created.
But here’s the truth that many authors overlook: brilliance alone isn’t enough. In today’s crowded publishing world, even the most captivating stories risk invisibility without the right visibility strategy. And that’s where I come in.
One of the most powerful tools I use is Goodreads Listopia Spotlight. Unlike ads that chase quick sales, Goodreads Listopia builds lasting engagement because it’s powered by readers themselves. When your book is placed on the right lists, paranormal romance, myth-inspired fantasy, shapeshifter love stories, it doesn’t just sit there. It gets discovered, voted for, and recommended by passionate readers actively searching for books exactly like yours. That means more exposure, credibility, and organic buzz.
Without this step, many authors waste valuable time and resources chasing sales before building awareness and recognition. The reality is simple: sales follow visibility. Listopia Spotlight is about placing Angeline’s Gift directly in front of your ideal readers, sparking curiosity and conversation that naturally grows into momentum and long-term success.
I would love to guide you through this process, ensuring that your book doesn’t get lost in the noise but instead shines brightly in the spotlight it deserves. Angeline’s Gift has the heart, the mythic resonance, and the emotional depth that can captivate communities of readers, my job is to make sure they find it.
If this feels right for you, simply reply with “I’m Interested.” That single step could open the door to transforming Angeline’s Gift from a hidden gem into a story readers champion, share, and remember.
No like I told the past person I don’t have money don’t contact me again!
Hi Jessica,
I recently came across your upcoming release Angeline’s Gift and was struck by its unique blend of romance, mythology, and self discovery. The presence of Hecate and Lord Pan adds a rich, mystical element that sets it apart and will resonate with fans of paranormal romance and myth-inspired fantasy.
I specialize in helping authors grow visibility through social media campaigns designed to connect their books with the right readers. For Angeline’s Gift, I could:
Highlight its romantic and mythological themes for niche online communities.
Craft engaging teaser content that stirs curiosity without revealing the plot twists.
Build awareness campaigns to connect with readers who already love magical romance and destiny-driven stories.
Your story already has all the elements to captivate my role and would be making sure more readers discover it. Would you be open to a quick chat about how I could support your book promotion?
And let’s not forget the ones on X and facebook! I’ll be reading their convos on my Youtube channel one even thought because they were old they can be rude nope! Being old won’t give you an excuse to be rude you stupid scammer!
They think it gives them a free pass and it doesn’t and their grammer was shit for being a self-help author I’ll be reading it this weekend! It is a pain in the ass and no one should pay any of them it gets tiring promoting me book and having them bother me getting to the point where I screenshot and rip on them they will bug me at work, sleeping and when I’m trying to relax. I will be just not interacting with them once I’m bored. They are sad please authors don’t fall for it contact me on socials and I can do a reverse image search. These book marketers are so lazy they use google photos for some not their real photo. Trace it for free with google images, Yandex or Tineye. Never give money for publishing that is free the dumb book marketer today didn’t realize publishing for KDP is free. I can make myself visible with time and more books but what these stupid book marketers don’t realize is yeah I can hire someone it doesn’t guarantee sales it takes time and a backlist! Anyway links below and I’ll be streaming WEd on Twitch!
