At least once a day,
a writer on Facebook
complains about low sales.
9 times out of 10,
they aren’t looking
for advice.
They’re looking
for sympathy.
They don’t want to
take action.
So…
I don’t offer advice.
My time is valuable.
I don’t waste it
on offering ideas
no one will ever implement.
What does that mean
for YOU
when you DO want advice?
You have to ask for it.
Don’t expect an expert
to volunteer the information
based on comments alone.
Ask for the advice you need
and then thank the person
for taking the time,
for caring enough
to give it to you.
(The second step
is how you get advice
in the future.)
