If readers are friends with a writer
on Facebook,
their reviews will be rejected
by Amazon.
Reviews help sell books.
Some writers have reacted
to this review change
by asking readers to unfriend them.
Which is hurtful to readers
and bullsh*t thinking.
In the romance community,
one of the best selling genres,
readers form friendships
with their favorite writers.
They don’t read 1 book from a writer.
They read 20, 30, 100 books.
It is a lifelong relationship,
one that spans decades.
These readers form a sales base,
an almost guaranteed flow of income
for writers.
These relationships are more important
than a review.
Guaranteed sales are more important
than a promo strategy.
Don’t discard sales
to make your marketing strategy work.
