FAQ

There are some limitations with followers to maintain their privacy.


You cannot view the email of the follower, only their name as associated with their email. This means you can only contact your followers through the follow manage tool in the Share tab.

The followers email is only registered to your Simplebooklet and made accessible to your Simplebooklet account. No other accounts on Simplebooklet can see or access your followers.

Following is opt-in. Only once a follower has opted in to follow you as an author can you begin to communicate with them and provide them additional content.

Be conscientious of sending notifications. Too many messages will tend to cause a follower to stop following your Simplebooklet.
