Street Team · Live now

Real readers,spreading the word.

Inside Story Street Team is a shared promo team for the whole community. Readers earn points for posting about books on social media and compete on a monthly leaderboard for prizes. Authors put a book in front of readers who actually post. Free to join, right now.

Join the Street Team How it works

For readers

Post about booksyou already love.

Pick up a book from the board, share it on your socials the way you already do, and log a screenshot or link. Points count immediately toward a monthly leaderboard, with gift card prizes — plus a rotating set of weekly quests for bonus points and a shot at a weekly prize.

Points For Posts

You earn for sharing a book — a Story mention, a feed post, a Reel.

Choose How You Access Books

Filter the board by free / ARC, Kindle Unlimited, or books you'd buy, so you only pick up what suits you.

No Requirement to Post or Review

We want genuine engagement and promotion, so we will never expect you to read and post about a book you don't believe in. Reviews are never required and never scored (though always appreciated!).

Extra Prize Categories

Separate recognition for the most posts and most books promoted, on top of the main leaderboard — plus a weekly quest draw.

For authors

Get your book in front ofreaders who share.

Enter a book to the board and Street Team readers can pick it up and post about it. Every Pro Inside Story plan includes free entries for a live campaigns. Any author can also enter their book (whether as ARC or already for sale) for $20 per 4-week block, and boost it for $25/week to double the points readers earn.

Free Entry With Your Plan

A live ARC or reader magnet campaign on Pro rides on the board for free for as long as it runs.

Optional Paid Boost

$25/week doubles the points on top of however a reader accessed your book, so it competes harder for readers' attention.

Real Posts, Self-Reported, Checked Where It Counts

Points count immediately, and we check the top-ranked posts in a period before paying out prizes.

How points work

Simple to earnhowever you post

Every post earns a base score for its format, multiplied by how you accessed the book, multiplied again if the book is on boost, with a small capped bonus for engagement.

1. Base points by post type

Post type	Points
Story mention	5
Basic post	10
Aesthetic / designer post	15
Reel / video	20

2. Access-method multiplier

Access type	Multiplier
Free / ARC / KU	1x
Bought an ebook copy	2x
Bought & advertised a paperback	3x

3. Boost multiplier — stacks with #2

Book status	Multiplier
Not boosted	1x
On boost	2x

4. Engagement bonus — capped at +20

Milestone	Bonus
25+ likes / views	+5
50+ likes / views	+10
10+ comments	+10

Post points= (base points × access-method multiplier × boost multiplier) + engagement bonus. A boosted paperback post scores 3× × 2× = 6× the base points.

How it works

Four stepsto get your points

Pick a book

Choose from the board, filtered by how you want to access it — free, KU, or one you'll buy.

Post with the tag

Share it on your socials and include the disclosure: "Inside Story Street Team #ad". Required on every post.

Log your proof

Add a screenshot or link as evidence.

Points count immediately

Points show in your monthly total right away and the leaderboard updates.

Fair by design

Built so effortbeats budget.

Newcomer Bracket

Your first three months run in a separate bracket and prize pool, away from established members.

Milestone Engagement, Capped

Engagement bonuses are milestone-based and capped at +20 per post, so chasing likes can't run away with the board.

Volume & Breadth Recognized

Separate prizes for most posts and most books promoted reward consistency and range, not just high-tier content — on top of a weekly quest draw.

Reviews Are Never Scored

No points for leaving a review, to abide by Amazon rules. Posts can be purely promotional — "out now" is enough.

One Disclosure For Everyone

"Inside Story Street Team #ad" goes on every post, whether the book was free, gifted, or bought, to cover financial incentive disclosure rules.

Checked Where It Counts

Points count on submission; the top-ranked posts in a period get checked before we pay out prizes. Falsified or fraudulent proof means removal from the program.
