I recently updated the book description for my "The 100 Calorie Diet Plan" on Amazon HERE and then did a bit of tweeting about it as soon as the Amazon approval process was complete and it went live with the edits in place.
Within minutes of one of my tweets I got this excellent example of a Bot run amok.
I thought it was hilarious that I would get an offer like that. Obviously any rational being would see in my profiles that I've lost 60 pounds and kept it off for 4 years now through hard cardio, weight training, and diet, including the exact same diet as in the book.
So I posted on Facebook and Twitter:
The first comment of course was directed toward the 'Bot.
The second comment was in regards to no one teaching King to write horror. I quickly amended my statement to "How to make money writing horror" at which he is without peer.
I have some cool non-Bot stories that I'll share in an article on "Sponsorship" but as far as 'Bot stories go, this is one of the best because of the FB tie-in. If you sell or write or produce a product, and someone offers you the same product in response to your ads or articles or social posts, they really aren't reading your profiles.
Either that or your profile is so terribly vague they have no idea what you do. Like some of the cool GenX GenY or Millennials that read some misleading geeky thing about how to get a zillion followers on Twitter:
"facilitationatoress of starplasm empathy. cat-lover. yogi. snarf."
I can only read that as a female who works as first level customer service at a cell phone shop, eats cats, and watches HB/RB cartoons. But that's a topic for another day...

Statements tweeted from the book description on Amazon:
- Imagine a food portion control system so easy a 5th grader can do the math and weigh out the portions.
- Imagine yourself achieving your fat loss goals in 12 short weeks using that plan.
- Imagine a food portion plan that doesn't require that you eliminate any of your favorite foods.
- Imagine no more, because this is that plan.
So I posted on Facebook and Twitter:
Sweet!
I:
write diet book.
tweet diet book.
get diet plan offers.
Anyone ever sell a "how to write horror" manual to King?
