Did you face betrayal?

To face betrayal is a hard experience. It is like you got kick in the ass. That moment when you realize that trustful person is traitor, the discovery of treason is a great shock. Someone in your life with whom you share trust, confidence is a mole.

The Caesar and Brut story can't leave us calm.

What is a betrayal and who are traitors?

A traitor is a selfish person. When someone is a snitch, spy or rat, that person is selfish. It is the opposite of loyalty because when you are loyal you are thinking about your friend. In that case you don't want to hurt them, you are careful and have a balance. A betrayal is a kind of weakness, and a traitor is a person for sale. Now you will find out how much that person costs.

The worst kind of treason is in the area of friendship and love.

Life will give us situations when is time to choose.

It is hard to stand between two fires. For example, the boss offers a promotion to you, but the condition is to break the connection with your cooperator, to move to another city even this will separate you from your family. A traitor is a person who will sacrifice others for own sake. It is just a mask that traitor doing something for the community. Neither Mata Hari, double spy, did not do anything for the sake of the society.

The traitor tries to sit on two chairs without fall on the floor.

So, if someone wants to hurt you over your friends, find out who is the weak spot in your team. Who is the rat? This is the point in the business world, steal ideas or people from the rival company, but first find a weak spot. Find a traitor who will fast change sides.

Should we respond to negative reviews?

Recently I had a discussion in my social media about negative ratings. There was a situation in Goodreads, where I got two negative reviews on my two books. The point was in the way how the ratings were set up. First rating for my book "Body in the waves" was placed under 5-star review from another reviewer. While the reviewer praising my book, the troll came under to say "This is really bad book." Second rating was described as " Poor author needs writing lessons." Both reviews broke standards of reviewing, because there is no visible evidence that book was downloaded in Kindle unlimited or purchased. It was a clear troll act from a new page, without a profile photo and with a nickname. I reported this to Goodreads and they responded me they are processing this. Meanwhile, I heard from other authors that Goodreads failed to do anything about trolling. In these terms, Goodreads should delete such profiles and forbid the access because of breaking rules. T...

Why the refund is damaging indie authors?

I understand someone can be disappointed with a book. It is like I was disapointed with my trousers online and returned it. What makes a difference, my trousers were 40 euros. The book was 2.49 cents. This makes return funny, because what can you do with this money? Some readers don't understand story behind the refund. The author will get minus royalties. - 0.13 c in my Kindle report, that will vanish when someone else buy the book. The situation happens. Someone accidentaly clicked and bought a book. A random customer wants a refund. Maybe it was not a random move. Maybe the customer clicked, bought and did not like the book. When you don't like the book choose another options, instead of damaging authors. Write a negative review. Write negative one star rating. Don't purchase another books from this author. Or, maybe to reconsider and read it, again? If you write negative reviews or rate it with 1 or 2 stars, you are making a favor to authors. You are moving algorithms i...

Five myths about promo sites

Recently I asked for a featured Bookbub deal for one of my books. I got response that my book should be free priced and my expense would be 230 dollars. This is really funny, because I could expect people grab my book for free and give me one star (as it happens when books are available for everyone). To pay such amount of money would be waste and without a purpose. I am mix of traditional and indie author. Having a publisher, but not bestseller books, I am looking for ways to increase my book sales. Promo sites like Bookbub are very expensive and they offer their deals for 25% books from authors who applied for this. I had an insight to author's books who grabbed Bookbub deals. It works will authors who are already selling a good amount of their books. In general, promo sites are not working for favor of indie authors. These are five myths about promo sites: Promo sites give many readers. It is not true, because you will get visibility and many trolls, but not readers. Promo sites...
