Bad Book Review Blues

When you get a bad book review
Youve just been notified a review of your book has been posted. Youre all excited and cant wait to see what has been written. Youre clicking onto your books page when...Oh no! They hated your book! This bad review is going to turn away customers from buying your book. Wait! This isnt the end of the world. Heres 3 tips to deal when you get a bad review.
1. You cant please everyone!
Example: One of my favorite authors is a bestseller but the author didnt receive such hot customer reviews.
Another example: I was reading some book reviews and one of the books had one of the worst ratings ever. I clicked the link with curiosity to find over 20 customers had reviewed the book and loved it. In life, you cant please everyone. Will a bad review discourage future customers On to my next tip.
2. A bad review doesnt have to mean bad profit.
Not all customers look at a bad review as their only guide to buying. In fact, if your review is so awful, they may even buy the book to see if its really as bad as the reviewer rated it. Theres the saying that curiosity killed the cat, curiosity in this case could help you. Customers also realize that everyone has different tastes. Maybe the reviewer didnt like your book, but whos to say someone different wont It may be bad publicity, but none the less it may help you. In fact, sometimes a customer may have read the bad review but only remembers your name and or the books title.
3. If youre getting more than one bad review.
Its understandable if youre disappointed. Its expected, but do not allow yourself to become discouraged. If youve published an e-book and can easily edit your work, bad reviews can actually help your writing. Now dont go crazy and change everything! But if reviews are constantly pin pointing on one certain area, review your work and see if and how you could improve it. I know reviewing repeatedly can be hurtful but if it can help your e-book, isnt it worth considerings Also, dont start picking apart reviews right away, give yourself time to go over them. Picking apart your reviews the moment you receive them could prove fatal to your self esteem.
