What happens when you face it your problems without other's help?

It will happen that people will leave your life. Circumstances, conflicts, or various interests will change your friend's circle. In one life period, you will face its problems alone. There is no help and assistance from friends because they have gone. This situation, however, has some advantages. Your friends will not give you bad advice. Your friends will not lecture you. Your friends will not use your dirty laundry against you. You will not owe favors to anyone, because they helped you once. Facing problems alone demands a high level of discipline and concentration. Those fake people can return later when you gain success. In my example, it looked like this. Hellen worked voluntarily in the court. Her boss used her and complained about every task she did. After she found another job, she got a message from her ex-boss to help her with some documents. Helen replied: "Excuse me, the wrong number." Beware of flattering people and those who support you while you are winnin

5 kinds of fake supporters

Thanks for leaving comments recently, dear readers. Today I want to pull attention to fake supporters and followers. Every author and artist who search for support in the virtual world will get some fake followers. It is not only about trolls and popularly called bots, it is about the nature of the person who follows your account. How do they act? If you have Instagram, the pattern is always the same. The person follows you and waits for you to follow him. After you follow, he unfollows, to increase his number and decrease your number of followers.  Another case: The person follows your accounts and like many of your posts. Then, when you follow back, a follower hits you with the message: "Will you buy my book cover? Can I promote you to my followers, for hundred dollars?" I f I can make a group of fake followers, they would be categorized in next ways: The pest. A follower who hits your inbox a few minutes after you add him. Usually, that is an invitation message to chat or

What does it mean, reading in KENP?

If you are the author or a reader, you will see the term KENP. KENP stands for Kindle Edition Normalised Pages. Amazon uses the process as the formula to calculate the number of ebook pages read by a Kindle Unlimited subscriber. For every page of your ebook that a reader reads, you earn royalties. Some readers have a membership in Kindle Unlimited. If you are their member, it means you can download books for free. Every time when you read your downloaded e-book, it will show in statistics, by the number of reading pages.  It is a good substitute for sale. For authors who have low sales, it would be good to have a higher rate of KENP read pages. That is not so simple, because it must count in thousands of pages to earn more.  How does it work? You can only earn page read royalties when you enroll your ebook in  Amazon KDP Select  to make it available on Kindle Unlimited (KU). However, when you enroll, you will have to agree to make your ebook exclusive to Amazon. It’s a choice you need

Authors: how to stand out from the crowd?

2 million authors are available on Amazon. It is a huge number, and all authors compete for the circle of readers. Famous names will take advantage and there is a huge chance to stay invisible and without an audience. To get noticed, you should be ranked in the first 100 authors. For that score, your book must be in the top 100 with a certain number of reviews and good sales. How do accomplish it? Gain the reviews. This is a hard task. Your reviews could be deleted or rejected, if Amazon algorithms judge them as irregular. Sell the book. To get sales, you need to promote your book. Even if you paid for promotional sites, there is no guarantee for selling, but you can lose your money. How to stand out from the crowd? Tik Tok gave us a chance to make our own videos with nice filters and to promote our books in self-made videos. Grab your book in your hands and show it to the world.

Why Amazon is deleting your reviews?

I know that unpleasant surprise when you click on your Amazon link and the number of your reviews is getting smaller. Two years ago Amazon deleted my eight reviews. The author who made these reviews got removed account even she purchased the books. Amazon's logic is next: Amazon will get banned paid reviews. So, avoid paying promotional services for their reviews. They will delete biased reviews. They will delete reviews if there is no track of purchase or KENP read. They will delete reviews if they notice swapping. Also, abused and violated reviews will be deleted if someone reported them. Biased reviews are those reviews from your friends or family, where they praised your books. Amazon will see your connection and delete it. If you want to protect the review from deleting, purchase the book, or wait until the book will be free and click to download it. What is totally unfair from Amazon, and it is present a few years ago, are ratings without explanations. If you scroll around au

5 kinds of inappropriate men every woman will meet

Finding the right one was always the base of romantic relationships. Searching for a man who will love you and care about you is not an easy task. If you had a plan how to find a great man, surely this plan failed. Love is a spontaneous act, a planning a community with an appropriate partner might be a problematic path. If you ask women what kind of guys they met before they got married, they will talk about various experiences. I would love to say that I had a few nice relationships before I got married, but it was not the case. Like when you search for a diamond, you will find jewelry with a fake gloss, that looks like a bar of gold, and it is far away from gold. It would be only rocking with fake glittery. 5 kinds of men who will not get you serious: A man for a one-night stand. Every man will compliment you, trying to get you in the bed. His intentions are only focused on sex and nothing more. A man with Peter's Pan syndrome. A man who wants to have fun until his forties, and a

Do you think fighting in relationships means love?

Sparks are born from conflicts in relationships, they woke up passionate moments. Every time you are arguing with the opposite gender, there is a root of attraction.  Can you remember how your relationships started? Or do you have a connection with someone you did not start anything yet, but you wish you did? Fighting, swearing, and insulting is a situation when partners express their displeasure, but it doesn't mean it will get better. If someone you like constantly insults you, it doesn't mean he cares about you. On the opposite, this person wishes to obey you or humiliate you, to make you an object in your relationship. A person who cares about you will tease you or provoke, you but never insult you. Insulting someone you like might show your immaturity, it makes difference between a boy and a man. While the boy is making insults, threatening, or leaving the battlefield in silence, a mature man will show balance and a firm attitude. The situation where you two are constantly
