I posted some advice
for brand new writers,
writers starting with zero readers
(zero customers).
I told them
the tactics I outlined
might not work for everyone
but they had worked for me.
I shared the numbers behind
these tactics,
as well as the mistakes
I had made.
Almost immediately
another writer posted
all the reasons
my tactics wouldn’t work.
Had she tried my tactics?
No.
But she was certain
they would fail.
She pressed me to ‘prove’
they were valid.
I ignored her request.
I’m a USA Today Bestselling Writer.
Clearly I can sell books.
And I’m not running a promo business.
Posting these tactics
don’t benefit me personally
at all.
I don’t have to prove shit.
Successful folks with no ulterior motives
aren’t going to ‘prove’
their advice is valid.
Take that advice
if it makes sense to you
or don’t.
