Advertising on Bookbub

[RahKnee]

Just wondering if any aspiring kindle bestsellers have used bookbub for advertising in the past. I've been considering it, but their criteria for deciding if they will accept you seems a bit ridiculous in some places. The pretentiousness of them having to decide if your work is worth taking your money in order to promote it does strike me as a little funny. Perhaps intentionally so by the site operators. The price seems a bit steep as well, but varies depending on the genre of your work. IIRC, they don't accept submissions for erotica so that might have turned a few fastlane writers away from them in the past.

So, anyone used it? How were your results in terms of sales? Any lasting impact?

Also, in terms of mass advertising for ebooks that aren't free/dirt-cheap, need identified!
