Is this against TOS?

[bigbrains]

I am a beta-reader and client often known my door for feedback and detailed reading report for their unpublished or published book. Sometime client says that I am looking for a critique but it will be great if you can write a review on amazon or Goodread. If I provide reading report and a complementary review of amazon, is this against TOS

I'm not really sure how this is covered in the TOS, however I can attest to ethics.

Is the client asking to purchase a 5 star review or are they requesting an honest review?

Buying reviews is not really ethical, because it is difficult to give an honest review when they are paying you to post it.

It's against Fiverr rules:

Quote

Do not post, offer, or ask for:

Paid reviews

Positive or negative feedback on any product, service, or performance.

1. It is against TOS to sell reviews on other platforms.

In addition to what others have said, a few years ago Amazon sued 1,000+ Fiverr sellers because of fake/paid reviews.
