I've wondered and wondered about all those ads I see constantly on Twitter and in my feeds. I just delete them. I'm much more likely to find good books through recommendations on Goodreads or in the "also bought" lists. I haven't had any luck getting reviews after carefully requesting them on review sites, but I am learning to be patient. Thanks for the encouragement.
BTW, I've been using Canva from time to time as well. A good find.

Here's my reviewing tip: don't trade reviews, because it's against Amazon's reviewing guidelines. And because readers see it as gaming the system.

No one listens to it. I've got lists and filters everywhere tuning it out of my feeds. Why do I have to do so much blocking, hiding, ignoring, list making and alerting work, just to not be spammed by people who are supposed to be my pals?

Justs saying...

It's a date, Fae! And while you're here, I'll show you how to use Canva (I made the poster)!

I know, Orly - isn't it sad? I think we get jaded once we've been burned.

I'm staying at your house for a week before my book launch! Sorry, that's what you get for being so good at what you do. Great, easy to follow advice. (Love the opening poster!)
