7 types of readers you might face it

Booklovers are people who love to spend their time reading books. It is great to spread your view and knowledge by reading, you can travel to places you never been and find out things you never supposed to exist.

As an indie author, I am looking for my readers, I am willing to spread my circle, but people are of various kinds. Not every reader is suitable for every author.

Accord my experience, here are 7 types of readers:

Fake reader. He will give you a review, but he is not indeed interested to read your books. He just wishes to do a favor but your book is not his choice.

Santa Claus reader. This is a person who will take your free book, promise a review, and then vanish. You will never get your review, and this reader is real as Santa Claus.

Picky reader. This is an honest person who will immediately say "I am not interested" or "I will read your book. You can get reviews very fast from this reader, he knows what he wishes.

Reciprocate reader. This is a person who will read your book if you read his book. It doesn't have to be bad but swapping reviews are not recommended.

Reader snob. This is someone who will tell you "I read books only from famous authors. " You are not in his preferences so better give up.

Reader editor. This is an annoying person. He will try to earn money on your books, in the way he says "you need editing" and then offer his services for appropriate fees.

Reader ghost. This is someone who never replies to your request. He is similar to Santa Claus, just the difference is in ignorance. He did not say yes or no.

Reading is a beautiful thing and a great way to spend your free time. Reading should not be a duty or obligation, it should not be forced. I am happy when someone picks my book and enjoys reading. If someone doesn't want to read my books I prefer a sincere answer.

I had a few experiences with people who took my books and never give me any feedback. This is not well mannered and professional, but it happens to every author.

If I read a book, I pick it by myself and read and review it on a reasonable date. I will not appear for a year. If you need to wait a year for your reviewer, this is not worth it.

Social media: how to react to negative comments?

The virtual world became a platform where people expose their frustrations. If you post something positive, you will not get reaction. Ignorance is mostly present when you express your happiness. If you post something that irritates people, you will get negative reactions. Many young users use internet to write negative comments, put dislikes and troll others. We are witnesses to young generation who is angry, passive and without a purpose. You Tube opted out dislikes for public. You can see in your private statistic a number of dislikes. Some people have a bad humor and don't have a clue how their reaction can hurt others. You will tell me this is a freedom of speech and free choice, but also as an owner of my profiles in social media I have right to restrict negative comments. I am against censoring and dictatorship and every critic is welcome, but I don't tolerate rude and abusive behavior. Besides, if someone leave a negative, rude comment, that gives an ugly example to ot
