BookWhirl.com Launches Refer an Author Program and Acquires B+ Rating from Better Business Bureau

BookWhirl.com premiers the Refer an Author Program, and discusses their
acquired Better Business Bureau rating.

FITCHBURG, WI (09/23/2009) - BookWhirl.com, one of the leading frontiers of the
book marketing industry launches the Refer an Author Program, another beneficial
feature for all self-published authors. This is a new program from BookWhirl.com
that would help encourage and flourish the publishing industry. 

The Refer an Author Program is created for BookWhirl.com's former and existing
clients. Its primary purpose is to extend gratitude and promote the company's
affordable marketing services to other self-published authors.

The Refer an Author Program benefits former and existing clients through a 10%
discount reward when referrals decide to sign up for any service. But the rewards
don't end there. Referred authors will also receive a reward of 100 Online
Directory Listings at no extra charge. Both benefits are simultaneously rewarded
every successful referral. 

Through the 10% discount, clients can already trim their book marketing budget and
save up on costs. While new and referred clients can enjoy further web exposure
through the free Online Directory Listing service.

BookWhirl.com is still in the process of being accredited with the Better Business
Bureau (BBB). However, the company was able to attain a B+ rating from the BBB last
April 2009. Better Business Bureau is a corporation that gathers and report
information about business reliability. It acts as a mutually trusted intermediary
between consumers and business to resolve questions on validity. 

Accoring to the official website of Better Business Bureau, a rating of B+ is
equivalent to an 87-89.99 rating. As stated on their website, "This rating
represents BBB's degree of confidence the business is operating in a trustworthy
manner and will make a good faith effort to resolve any customer concerns". 

The rating is based by the following 17 elements: Type of Business, Time in
Business
Competency Licensing, Complaint Volume, Unanswered Complaints, Unresolved
Complaints, Serous Complaints, Complaint Analysis, Complaint Resolution Delayed,
Failure to Address Complaint Pattern, Government Action, Advertising Review,
Background Information, Clear understanding of business, Mediation/arbitration,
Accredited Business Status,  and Revocation.

As BBB further stated, "Grades are determined by awarding and deducting points for
each element and then looking at the resulting score as a percentage of the highest
score attainable ("perfect" score)."
