Surfacing from mad revisions for this:
I got an email today from a fairly large site that does book related stuff. They are very very large and are supposed to provide author services. The email included this:
[A woman’s first name] was able to get 100,000 new readers for her book in those 6 months. Now she has over 80 reviews on Amazon and her book is doing well.
Blah blah blah. Send us money.
Right. Someone who has 100,000 NEW READERS
1. Made a list
2. Has a lot more than 80 Amazon reviews.
I really hate when companies look at authors, see dollar signs and decide to fleece the stupid ones.
Because that statement is a LIE.
