Are paid beta readers worth it?

JonLeePeto

@herbie100 I'm sure it depends on the beta reader. What credentials do they have and how do they prove their worth? Do they offer a sample or share past work? Also, do you know what specific feedback you are seeking? What are your thoughts about your strengths and weaknesses? Can you request they focus on your weaknesses? If not, I wonder if they critique will just be whatever random thoughts they have as they read.
          	  
          	  Anyone can call themselves a beta reader and charge for it. That doesn't mean they know more than people reading and commenting for free...

@0____T____0  might check with LittleLo  and/or  Lyttlejoe. they are both long time writers that have posted many stories on this site. don't know if they have used paid Betas but could give you their insight.

Hello fellow Uk-ien,
          
          Not going to lie, super curious how you found me? :)
          
          I may give your book a look, no promises!

@0____T____0 Erm absolutely! How else do you find good content to read if not through other humble readers!
            I would be in a bad place if I couldn't steal from other readers lists, wattpad search could be way better

Hi all!
          
          Hope you're well and 2025 isn't being too tough.
          
          Please could you do me a favour and follow and support my best friend in the whole wide world @Dracosmama who only just made her account today.
          
          She's into horror stories, Buffy, Harry potter, heartstopper and Heartbreak High. Musically she likes MCR and Three Doors Down and all sorts of pop music too.
          
          It would be great to get her to 100 followers in a day....
          
          Many thanks in advance. You're all the best!

@__omoiyari__ Oh yeah, it does say 2024, I wonder if it's a glitch, odd that it's exactly 1 year old. Guess the wattpad gremlins are at it again...
