I knew sooner or later it was going to happen, but was secretly hoping it never did. Until yesterday I had 34 positive reviews. Yesterday someone gave me a 1 star review that says:
"Save your money, nothing you do not already know in this book."
My book is a self help book.
When I read it, my first thought was, "OK". I smiled and told myself I wasn't going to get resentful or upset , and then I checked the woman's other reviews. It seems this is what she likes to do. She reviewed 2 other books yesterday the same exact way, and has a long list of 1 star reviews. While that helps me to not take it personally, it also gets me upset that people have to do crap like that. I'm itching to look her up on Facebook (she included her full name and wouldn't be hard to find) and send her a "thoughtful" message...
I'm not going to do that though.
Can anyone cheer me up a little? How likely is this to affect my sales?
