👋 Dear Villagers,

I’m the Minister of Economy, and I want to explain why, right after signing up for BookVillage, you can’t immediately launch promotions for your books.

🔄 First You Contribute, Then You Receive

📌 BookVillage is built on a clear principle:

✅ You contribute to the Village by completing reader assignments first

✅ Then the community will do the same for you through your promotions

This merit-based system:

🛡️ Keeps the platform stable

🔄 Ensures a continuous “give and receive” flow

📈 Prevents the imbalances that have destroyed other similar platforms

🍀 What Happens to New Members?

📢 Only a few users, randomly selected, will have the opportunity to launch a bonus promotion immediately after signing up—even without having booked a reader assignment yet.

For everyone else, you’ll need to contribute as a reader first. This approach:

✅ Prevents meaningless request backlogs

✅ Ensures every promotion is supported by active, genuine readers

📌 Remember: whether you start with or without the ability to launch a promotion right after joining BookVillage, the system will automatically balance your activity between assignments and promotions over time.

🎁 Do I Get Any Bonus Promotion at Sign-Up?

📢 No, and there’s a very specific reason for that.

Any other service that gives you “welcome coins” or initial credits is already undermining its platform and community.

Why?

❌ Coin-based systems are poorly structured and, besides violating Amazon guidelines, always lead to the same outcome:

📉 An accumulation of virtual coins that can’t be spent because there aren’t enough active readers to meet all requests.

💥 Their system inevitably collapses like a house of cards. And they probably know it—but they don’t care, as they’re only chasing short-term profits.

📚 The Village Thinks Long-Term

We’re creating a series of in-depth articles to explain in detail:

✅ Why coin-based systems mathematically fail

✅ The risks they pose to the health of your Amazon accounts

✅ How BookVillage is designed to be the only truly sustainable ecosystem for authors and publishers

📢 A Word from the Minister of Economy

"Here you won’t find fake bonuses or virtual piggy banks. You’ll find a stable, merit-based system that builds your social proof month after month."
