I hate this term "review copy" People in marketplace folder are just using this excuse to get a free service... Many suckers here...
You can simply write in your sales thread that "NO REVIEW COPIES AVAILABLE" And if someone asks for it simply report it to mods and they will get infractions ! - Digital -
If you have a good product for sale there should be no problem giving out a few review copies to jumpstart sales. I've never had a problem with it. (as long as the person getting the free review copy doesn't openly share it for free with everyone)
Nonsense. People who ask for review copies just want a freebie. Have you seen the reviews posted by review copy hunters? They're very poor to say the least. And they're always positive. There's almost never any criticism.
If I am doing service I would not give 1 full day of my service for free... I checked some of those people who are asking for review copy and I found out that almost all of their "buyer reviews" are all coming from review copies.. LOL... Same persons asking for review copy in every new product or service being posted especially if the service provider or seller has lower number of positive reviews... Reviews are important but if it is coming from free copy with bias review I don't think its reliable..
Nice trick. Agree, for ebook, most reviews sounds like "the OP's method is not unique but it works well with some tweaks or twist"
