Bo Bennett Launches Review Copy Club Platform

## Episode Summary Bo Bennett returns to walk through [ReviewCopyClub.com](https://www.reviewcopyclub.com/), his newest platform designed to connect authors with matched readers for ARC campaigns. The conversation zeroes in on why Amazon removes reviews from some ARC services (non-compliance with frequently shifting platform policies) and how Review Copy Club is built to stay on the right side of that line. Bo also reveals the platform has scaled its reader-matching cap to 100 readers per campaign—up from the 25 previously listed on the site. --- ## What You'll Learn - **Why reviews get pulled by Amazon**: It signals non-compliance with platform policy—not necessarily dishonesty, but a failure to track Amazon's frequently updated rules - **The real risk authors face from sketchy ARC services**: Using low-reputation sources (like random Fiverr gigs) can result in your Amazon account being canceled entirely - **The fee model that keeps everything compliant**: Authors pay for the matching service, not for the review outcome—a structural distinction that matters for platform adherence - **Why "get it before anyone else" is a weak pitch to readers**: For 99.9999% of books, an advance copy isn't a compelling draw, so Review Copy Club relies on different psychological incentives to attract reviewers - **The logic behind the 100-reader cap**: At that ceiling, an author could realistically net 70 reviews—a strong result—while leaving readers available to help books with fewer existing reviews --- ## Notable Quotes > "If we could control both pieces of the puzzle, then we're in really good shape and our authors are in good shape—that's kind of what we're going for." > — Bo Bennett > "Those you could literally get your Amazon account canceled for using. So I would be very, very careful with anything that's less reputable." > — Bo Bennett --- ## About the Guest Bo Bennett, PhD is the owner of Archieboy Holdings and the recurring guest on this show, where he provides updates on the company's expanding suite of author tools.
