Criminal Operation
I have been working with Page 88 for over a year. After receiving one royalty check for the first quarter, I have been ghosted by Aaron and John. No royalty checks for the rest of the year. Regrettably, I also paid for Kirkus reviews and a book trailer. Money wasted, as no book reviews or book trailer were ever produced. John actually blocked my phone number. This company is rotten to the core. Losing money is bad enough, but being strung along with statements such as, "The check should be arriving shortly" and being instilled with false hope is beyond criminal. I clicked on one star above in order to have a chance to include a written response. This company does not deserve a star. The people representing it deserve to be in prison.
Buyer beware
Buyer beware! They only communicate while you’re paying them. Will keep telling you the “check is in the mail” which never seems to arrive. Really took advantage of my mother.
Page 88 is a complete scam
Page 88 is a complete scam. I have so much evidence that it’s ridiculous. I have reported them to multiple agencies and will continue to. They are very good at this game of stealing money. Beware. By the way, I have no way of contacting them anymore. They deleted their instagram account. They won’t respond to emails, texts, or phone calls to every number I have. “John” and “Aaron” are not their real names. They are expert con artists. I give them 5 stars for dishonesty.
SCAM ALERT!!!!
I started using Page 88 10 months ago, and as long as I spent money, John and Aaron responded promptly and acted like my best friends. Once I realized that I was deep in the financial hole and told them that I would like to at least recoup my money, they quit responding to me. They lied time and again, claiming checks were in the mail. Still waiting on a long list of promises that I paid for that have never been done. I hate to say that I got suckered, but I did. Have not gotten royalties from 2nd quarter or 3rd quarter, and it took 3 months to actually get 1st quarter royalties. They have been silent and distant when I try and communicate with them. I gave them a 5 star review last March, but since then, they are nothing but a NEGATIVE 5 Stars for complete IGNORANCE. I now say that they have turned into a complete scam, once upon a time they were communicative, now they're nothing but ghosts that have ripped me off. JOHN and AARON...PROVE ME WRONG. You've had 9 months to make it right. And you haven't. I am quiet no more...I have the emails and text messages to prove every word.
Unprofessional and Unreliable: My Experience with Page88books
I’m extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and accountability from Page88books. Despite having an agreement with them, they have failed to uphold their end of the deal. I have not received my royalties from last quarter, and with this quarter coming to an end, there’s no sign of the payments due.
They don’t answer their phones or respond to texts, making it impossible to get updates on book sales or resolve any issues. Aaron and John, the two individuals assigned to assist me, have been completely unresponsive. I’ve tried calling, texting, and reaching out multiple times, but I’ve been met with silence.
This company does not keep its word, and their lack of communication is beyond frustrating. If you’re considering working with them, think twice. There are better, more reliable publishing services out there. I regret trusting them with my work and would strongly caution others against doing the same
It took weeks before the results…
It took weeks before the results started to show. It has been 2 months now and we are doing better than expected... (at least this is how I feel) since I didn't dare to get my hopes up that much but we are solid here!!!
Live updates are given
Live updates are given for my book's performance, I think this is a good way to monitor everything and I don't need to reach out their team all the time.
I feel pretty good about myself
I feel pretty good about myself because I decided to give them a shot and the benefits didn't let to wait very long. Great for all authors and for people looking to publish their new books.
I HAD MY MONEY RIPPED OFF
I HAD MY MONEY RIPPED OFF! Paid for a movie trailer that was never done. Never received my royalties. Do not trust John and Aaron they will not call you back after they lie to you!
If your book sales are stuck
If your book sales are stuck or you are not generating any sales at all then you might wanna see what they have to offer. I was in this position some time ago, things have changed now and all thanks to Page88Books.
This company has its own tools and ways…
This company has its own tools and ways and I don't even care how they do it, what matters is that they do it successfully and this is how it should be. Certain aspects are automated so they keep me in the loop with recent developments.
The sales are climbing
The sales are climbing! Not that fast but I can see the numbers are growing each month and I am satisfied with that.
I used to run ads for my book sales
I used to run ads for my book sales and the cost per click conversion was so high that I almost didn't even make any profit.. so I had to look for alternatives and Page88Books is what works for me right now.
Even if they did all the heavy lifting…
Even if they did all the heavy lifting for my book sales, I still feel like I was involved with everything from the start. I think Page88 is great and I will definitely use them again in the future.
Somehow
Somehow, and I am not sure how, they managed to find the audience that was interested in my books. I make enough to sustain my current lifestyle and I am already planning to do another book launch.
We are getting checks on a monthly…
We are getting checks on a monthly basis for our book sales and this is the company through which we outsource our marketing campaigns. I am satisfied, could always be better but I am happy where we stand.
Scam company
I got screwed that's all I can say they ignore my emails and calls and don't respond to me . Who does that . I asked for my royalty check never got it. I emailed them and told them just give me what I paid and still no response Aaron doesn't answer support nor John . This people will get jail time what goes around does come back around I put at least $700 dollars into this
If I look at the numbers
If I look at the numbers of what I made profit-wise from these book sales and what I paid to this company then the fees are almost nonexistent. I might sound a bit dramatic but for us this was a massive success.
They started a new revenue stream
They started a new revenue stream for me and it didn't even take any effort from my side. I am happy with the service and can definitely recommend.
They start off great while they are…
They start off great while they are taking your money, but when it's time to pay you your royalties, they ghost you! No response. Now I have to jump hoops to cancel them and get my money back.
