How does the bonus token promotion work for a book?

2 min. readlast update: 11.01.2024

The bonus book system lets you add a bonus to any book each time you list it in the library. It's a great way to promote your work and use up extra tokens. Bonus tokens spent on a review request are non-refundable.

Here Is How It Works

  1. Ensure you have at least 100 tokens available to add to a book
  2. Click the green "Add Bonus to Book" button
  3. Enter the amount you want to add to the base token value the book has and click "Submit"
  4. Ensure your book is published to the library
  5. When a reviewer submits their review, they will receive the extra bonus tokens
  6. Earn more tokens and repeat as many times as you like for any of your books

A Word of Caution: Before using bonus tokens, please carefully consider the value you place on each token and the potential impact of a high bonus token offer. If a reviewer accepts your request with a high bonus token offer, you are obligated to fulfill that offer, regardless of the review’s content or quality. You may want to start with a lower bonus amount of 800-1,200 and increase it over time if your book is not checked out for review fast enough.
