I have been part of the Onlinebookclub.org team for almost 6 months. I have read many books that I otherwise would have not heard of without Onlinebookclub.org. Scott Hughes, founder, is strict when it comes to rules, guidelines, and deadlines for the reviewers, editors, and authors. Therefore, only the best reviews are accepted and published. I am paid for my honest reviews. No reviewer is paid to write a review a certain way or to give a certain rating. Yes, we are offered rewards to share the Book of the Day. This helps get the word out about the book and the reward is just our incentive for taking time to do it every day. The books are shared on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. Everyone on the onlinebookclub.org team works hard to provide an honest and well-written review while promoting the books.
I have been a member of OBC for over two years and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I love learning about up-and-coming authors, and I love having the opportunity to write reviews. At OBC, authors will receive honest reviews, but not necessarily positive reviews. If a reviewer does not like your book, he/she is allowed to say so and rate it accordingly. We do keep our language tactful, but we do not hesitate to voice our misgivings. That being said, authors with easily hurt feelings would be advised to think twice before submitting! This is a fair and honest site that helps readers choose the best possible books!
I joined OBC in May of 2017. Since then, I have won the $20-Amazon GC eleven times. I have received hundreds of free books through the daily giveaways and have earned a reasonable sum for reviewing books of my choice from the wide selection offered. Most of the books available from the site are written by new authors, but you will be surprised that there are a number of good ones.
Scott, the webmaster, is easy to talk to. Which website doesn't have glitches now and then? Scott addresses the issues in no time at all. He is also proactive in instituting changes for the better.
When I joined, we were 150,000-member strong. We now have over a million members. Let the figures talk.
I have been working with Onlinebookclub.org for months now and so far my experience has been great. I love to write and I applied as a reviewer on this website. I have had my reviews published and also got paid for my efforts. I also won $20 as prize money in a daily contest. The money was promptly transferred to my account. I would highly suggest to join the website if you are interested in reading and writing.
Onlinebookclub.org offers a unique opportunity for readers and writers. Although I don't work as a writer, I read books offered by onlinebookclub.org and leave formal reviews. In return, my reviews receive a formal, thoughtful, and helpful critique that helps me write better. In addition, I am paid for each review. Novice writers receive constructive feedback on their books, and I become a better writer while enjoying new authors. What a deal!
My reviewer was excellent and if I can get her every time, I will. She took the time to tell me what was wrong and write it down. When you send in a book to an agent, they reject you and you'll never know why. I get the overwhelming number of submissions, but you don't have a clue until someone tells you what's wrong. I also appreciate the fact that Onlinebookclub cared enough to respond to my questions with courtesy, went the extra mile to put me on that reviewer's list and re-advertise my book under a different category for sales when they realized the first one wasn't working because of it being a niche genre. They put forth an effort, that's why I am glad to do this review. Normally, I ignore things like this.
Hello Nathaniel,
Thank you for your review!
I started following onlinebookclub for the last 3 months. At first, I was hesitated because I thought that it would be difficult for me to tackle the tasks given because I wanted to review a book. However, when I started going deep into the review team and the guidelines, I found it easier and very interesting. The instructions are crystal clear and very helpful. When I go the home page, I can read some really nice reviews also. Thank you once again for giving me a chance to be a part of this wonderful organisation.
Thank you for your review, Sreeja!
I find it valuable to read the reviews, mostly so I can improve on what needs improving in my next book. I enjoy hearing what people like the most and am surprised to find that there is such of a variety of points that people do like. I may not always agree with them, but I do listen. Thank you!
Hello Sandra,
Thank you for your review!
Honestly, since I started out on onlinebookclub.org as a reviewer, I've had an amazing time. I've read quite a number of books (both fiction and non-fiction). The planning, organization, and order that exists between the authors, reviewers, editors, and admins is impeccable. Shout out to Scott Hughes and his team for coming up with the idea.
Thank you, Derick!
Online Book Club will take care of any issues you have when it comes to providing personal service when you ask for it. They are prompt and thorough in their responses. I have dealt with several other promotional websites, and none can stand up to Online book Club for their quality positive outcome, sale wise. They have an enormous following.
As a fellow book reviewer, OnlineBooksClub has truly been a game-changer in my line of work. Their extensive genre coverage, meticulously crafted reviews, and the lively camaraderie within their community have not only made my job more efficient but also more enjoyable. I'm particularly impressed by their unwavering support for indie authors, and their featured "Book of the Month" shines as a beacon of literary discovery. It's an absolute pleasure to rate them five stars as a fellow reviewer who greatly values their contributions to the book world.
On Line Book Club is in a class of its own, not only does it get Authors into the spotlight and help generate sales... it also puts the reader into direct contact with new books and outstanding authors that are out there... grab a recommended book from OBC... you can't go wrong.
I am giving onlinebookclub 5 stars because they have proven to be thorough and also honest.
I recommend this site to anyone who loves reading and would also love to get some cool cash for what they already love doing just by dropping some high standard reviews.
Thank you, Priscilla!
My experience with OBC has been nothing short of positive. I love reading, so it seems like a natural progression. Writing the reviews helped me also become a better writer. I would give it thumbs up for anyone who'd like to try it out.
Thank you, Amy. We are happy to have you!
My experience with using OnlineBookClub.org has always been positive. They have a lot of book-related activities including review copies and a book of the day every day. I have always enjoyed being able to spend time there with them. When needed, support is always friendly and helpful.
Hi Amanda, thanks for your comment!
The reviewer was honesty. I did not know anything concerning the on line book club prior to contacting Scot but have found out they are indeed professional and authenticatic. Many thanks to my reviewer for a detailed synopsis of what my book is all about. I greatly appreciate you honesty and expertise in your reviewing work. Please, keep it up to all tasks you accept.
Hi Prophet,
Thank you for your review!
I deliberated for almost two years before completing my registration as I needed to be sure I would be able to set aside quality time to review books to the quality standard of their rigorous time-frames, guidelines and rules that this Book Club has. This is so, to ensure they maintain a truly Professional medium for Authors to feel satisfied with, to sent their books to for critical, honest, and professional reviews.
I am satisfied with the ease of use of the interface platform, as a new Reviewer on this Site. I am not rushed to choose another book to review when I have completed one and submitted the required review... thus suits me fine as I have a packed schedule that demands most of my daytime hours.

Answer: To get paid you need to do paid reviews. But since you are new, you'll have to do at least one volunteer/unpaid review. This is so that the moderators can see how well you are able to keep to the guidelines. There are six reviewer levels in total. The higher levels offer review opportunities with higher payouts. Writing good reviews following guidelines and participating within the bookclub will help get you to higher levels. Hope that helps!
