Self Publishing yourself and paying people hundreds of dollars to send spam emails to annoy people about your book

So I looked up their Web Site and they are just another self-publishing house. But their difference is that they go after other self-publishing company customers. As if I don't already get enough spam from the one I worked with. They will sell you anything you like. Back when I finished and published my first one, I called iUniverse and wanted to know how much it would cost me to to have them nominate me for the National Book Award. They said, "Huh?" Now you can buy it as a option of your package,

Terry,

If you have not read the book, then you don't know if its any good, so you
are just trying to get me to pay you for services for marketing the product.
Like most people with a practical business sense, I realize if the product
is not making enough money to pay for marketing, then one should not pay for
marketing. 

You willing to work on a percentage commission of sales?

Don't respond if you are not.

Dan

Dan,

I understand where you're coming from, even large traditional publishing
company's marketing consultant does not read the books, they trust their
research team, and we do the same we receive 200-300 book a day, and we
don’t have the time in reading every book. The question here is not how
quality your book is, the question is How you can compete with a lot of
authors in the global market.

If you want to have something you never had, you need to do something you
never did.

Thanks,
All the Best,

Terry Smith

Phoenix Social Media strongly discourages sending spam messages. That's old school outbound marketing, where as we all know is a dying breed. There's not a need to send spam messages with Social Media Marketing, if you have quality contents and exceptional skill in social media posting then your book can easily garner a reader without the annoying spams.
