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?"



If 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 to buy his stuff.

Desperate follower. That is the one who sends you flowers in your inbox, asking for attention. Or comment on your photo, ten times calling you beautiful.

An opportunist. This is a follower who wants to include you in their fitness program, to follow his YouTube and like his content, or to buy bitcoin. 

A pervert. Those are followers who sent dick pictures or naked body parts.

An illusionist. This is a follower who mixes reality and illusion. He is demanding, asking to like his photos and share his content, even if he knows you for 5 minutes.

Once a girl with Youtube videos followed me and hit me with a message to comment on her videos. I said her to stop with messages, and she called me rude. I blocked her to stop her invasion again.

You will ask me, what kind of followers do we need if those are fake?

Your following list should progress in the way that people show interest in your content. Then you will build your own community, based on a similar area. For example, if someone asks for a virtual romance, and you ask for a business deal, you should avoid such people.

Cooperation is necessary if you want success, but don't let people take advantage of you. In this collaboration, you will not be a servant. You are someone who is a partner.

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 ...
