To be completely transparent—I was the one who found them. Eternal Ghostwriting didn’t randomly reach out to me. I found them while actively searching for an affordable, professional marketing agency to promote my book. Like many first-time authors, I was proud of what I had written and wanted to give it the best chance to succeed. I knew marketing was essential, especially in a crowded self-publishing world, so I committed to finding a company that could help bring my work to life.
I spent hours combing through websites, comparing packages, reading reviews, and looking for agencies that specifically worked with authors. I came across Eternal Ghostwriting during one of those searches. Their website looked sleek, modern, and full of authority. I noticed bold claims—“As seen on Forbes,” “Trusted by bestselling authors.” They had logos of media outlets, client testimonials, detailed package breakdowns, and even industry jargon that made them sound like seasoned professionals.
On the surface, everything felt legitimate. The website checked all the boxes: professional layout, clear contact forms, structured service lists, and a persuasive tone that made me feel like they understood authors like me—ambitious, serious, but on a budget.
After some back and forth in my mind, I decided to take the next step. I filled out a contact form on their site, hoping to get more information and maybe ask for a quote. Almost immediately, someone got in touch with me. They didn’t just email once—they followed up multiple times, showing “interest” in my book, making me feel like they saw potential in it. That person introduced themselves as a senior publishing consultant. Over the next few days, we exchanged emails, and then scheduled calls.
That’s when we started discussing business.
They were very convincing. They sounded professional, polite, and confident—They assured me that Eternal had a team of marketing experts who would handle everything for me: social media strategy, Amazon optimization, press releases, book trailers, and most importantly, results. Overall, their pitch was persuasive. Although I had come across several negative reviews during my research, I convinced myself that every company attracts a few dissatisfied clients. I chose to move forward, believing that everything I had seen and heard still aligned with what I was looking for.
What I didn’t realize was that this was the setup. Everything—from the slick website to the persistent follow-up and the too-good-to-be-true guarantees—was part of a finely-tuned funnel designed to pull in clients just like me. I wasn’t being helped. I was being hunted.
