You can't depend on other's support




Looking for a new job? Searching for a partner? Fighting with workmates? These are all situation that needs support. People are like that, they expect someone to hold their side, but it doesn't happen like they imagine.

You can't depend on others' support because even if you get it, it will be temporary. People are used to changing sides, and once you did something wrong, your support will vanish.

If you are an ordinary person who is not well-positioned in the business world or if you are not rich, you can't count on many people. 

Remember the facts:

People usually avoid being involved in others' conflicts. 

Someone will support you if you give something to him. Give money, return the favor.

You will get support if you have a common enemy. 

Your support must have more power than your enemy, otherwise, it is useless. 

I learned a long time ago, whatever I do, I must learn at myself at first. Everything else is a bonus or a surprise. I did my best results when I was alone. 

Now, there is a second thought of this problem. Do you think you will get support from your friends by default? Maybe you think my friends must give me support, otherwise, what is friendship for?

Remember that everyone thinks about himself and his urges. Sometimes, your wishes could be in confrontation with the wishes of your friend. Automatically, if you don't look in the same direction, you will not get support. 

Even worse, your wishes could be the same as your friend's wishes. You want the same job or the same guy. Can you get support from your best friend if you like the same guy? Suddenly, your friendship will turn into rivalry overnight. 

So if you ask me how to get support, there is no forced way. It must be spontaneous when someone recognizes your dreams and ideas as something worthy. Similar people gather accord similar interests, and when you click, you will connect.

Love is one-sided. Love is stronger than reason, but until a moment when everything has changed. Purchase link:  Seduced by...

Swapping books - a devil's deal

  "I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...

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...
