She is a businesswoman. First it's recipes, then it's organizing, tips on teens, podcasts, public speaking, now a book. What's next?

She might have a story, but so do all of us. Some have been bullied as kids, some bullied by their in laws, some have a difficult marriage, challenging kids, illnesses, and other struggles. Everyone has their journey, but RF is making money and fame off hers.

Whatever is wrong with publishing a book about her story?? There are countless personal story books out there. There's nothing wrong with that.
You just seem jealous.

Agree. So much hate & jealousy, it's awful.
People just don't fargin that a chassidish lady can be so successful. It's pure jealousy.

This thread is bizarre. There are clearly some posters who are here to drum up sales of this book. Why else would they care so much??

I couldn't care less about the sales of her book.
I mean ok before anyone jumps at me... I care for every yid and all those nice pc things.

But The reason I am posting here is because of the immature comments that are being made.
It bothers me.

I guess I should bow out so it shouldn't look like someone is trying to market Raizys book.

I really think she's better off marketing herself in other venues.
I know her clientele and they aren't on this site.
Starting and bumping a thread can bring her lets say one more client? Two?

I mean what are the chances that someone read these threads and then bought the book?

Do you know the ratio of people that read an ad vs buy the product?
It's minimal.

You are really giving these threads more marketing power than they have.

Best regards

I follow her and enjoy her content. I think her app is an incredible service for Frum woman. I'm not so into cooking or patchkeing, and usually don't have money or time to use her ideas / buy her products, but I follow her for the entertainment, and bec I think it's amazing how she sticks to her values especially Tznius on social media. Not too many like that.

On the fence about purchasing her book. I would love an interesting light books. I usually stick to fiction, but this sounds intriguing. Money is tight, and I rarely splurge on books. But would love an interesting light read for some self care.

While there's a lot about her that makes me feel overwhelmed or not relate or even a bit jealous -her home making, table scaping, organization, toys & stuff she buys for her kids etc... Another part of me finds it inspiring, entertaining and special.

Some posters on here seem super jealous and antagonistic not sure why...

I mamish don’t get your point. You seem very jealous …

My point is that she wrote a book to make money, not bc she has an amazing story to tell! Most people have a story in their life, and not everyone chooses to put their life out there, especially when you have a husband and kids.

Good for her that she is making money and getting attention for it. I don't envy that one bit.

I have no problem about people talking about whatever they want to talk about. But the style of threads, posts, positive megillahs from new users - really sounds like advertising. I definitely think there's an audience here of chassidish women who aren't on IG, so not a bad idea. But it's just pretty blatant. It's smart of her (if true) to start a bunch of negging threads.

What do you care? She can do whatever she wants, no one is forcing anyone to buy the book or support her.
Your post is just oozing with jealousy.
No one has to buy the book. But the loshan hora going on about her, is just out of control & unacceptable. Don't buy the book, but stop the loshan hora & jealousy.

So correct me if I am wrong but this book about a chassidish women who got shunned from her community for having a public instagram? And how she dealt with it?

Not really. Many Bitter people here. Lots People that waste their time and energy just gossiping and talking about chazerishe bedroom stuff and sensational stuff. And those people will of course not appreciate the classiness and dignity that Raizy represents . OMG IT JUST CLICKED FOR ME! I get it now. Thank you

Relax, ok? I don't think her post oozes with jealousy and I do think Raizy wrote her book to make money. Obviously. Yes, she's likely passionate about what she does but she doesn't work so hard and invest so much because she wants to help you with her story. Same for her cookbooks. She loves shabbos but it's also her marketing angle. This is business 101.

I am so curious about this book lollll.

Since everyone is accusing me of working for Raizy or being Raizy anyway… I might as well do my job right. Here’s the link for the book. You can see a video of her talking about it when you swipe the product images https://www.raizyfried.com/shop

Why do you care that I don't find women sincere, going public on social media trying to sell me their story?

This thread is asking if her book is worth buying.
There was another thread where people signed up for a frum series every month (I can't remember which one) and were disappointed they wasted money.
If people can afford buying her books, then they do so without thinking.
If money is tight, (like that poster that couldnt buy snacks for her kids) maybe it's worth remembering that this is marketing at its best.

And no I don't envy Raizy one bit. Not her looks, personality, lifestyle, nothing..Lol

Nope I'm not as classy as I would like to be. But you all know I’m right. Imamother love discussing s*x and Os and scandals and all that.
