Rebelious rules by Kristina Gallo

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?"

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.
