Some romance writers
were complaining on Facebook
and other social media
about the popularity
of Fifty Shades of Grey
and Grey,
the new release.
The issue is…
FSoG is extremely popular.
It’s likely that
many of their readers
are fans of the series.
Which means
when writers diss the book,
they’re dissing the reading tastes
of their own readers.
That’s a dumb a$$ move
and not likely to
make anyone happy.
You can show prospects
why your product is better
without insulting the choices
they’ve made in the past.
Don’t diss the competition,
especially if that competition
is extremely popular.
