:troll: aight so what should i do here?? :troll:
:lupe: i've been publishing books on amazon
i have an ongoing series starring the same man and woman
my target audience for this product is college educated, 30+ year old women

the marketing guides say writers should do social media to build an author fanbase
...instead, i created a twitter for "him" and an instagram for "her":youngsabo:

the kindle readers are directed to both accounts
and each points back to the amazon sales page
i thought it was pretty clear- the accounts are promos for the books

between official announcements when a new book is ready
the marketing guides say authors should include "fun filler"
so i let the accounts talk to each other in character:francis:
that was probably my second mistake

so back when i started, i bought the rights to stock photos
600+ images of two models - a man and a woman, inividually and together
i was using these for book covers but some weren't really suitable
so i started upping the extra pics to the "her" and his" accounts:mjlol:

welp ... "her" instagram starts to take off:usure:
dudes ignoring all the kindle links just thinking the imaginary character is a real woman
blowing up her messages and whatnot:damn:
i thought people were trolling me but no...they seem very serious
i am reading this bullshyt like :merchant:
it's just pitiful
:ufdup: but how do i unwind this unintentional fukkery??
i don't want to alienate my actual readers
but i am also not trying to pretend i am a woman online
i thought of turning "her" instgram over to this company that specializes in social media for female performers but that's pricey
i also thought of having "her" create an amazon wishlist and a gofundme :banderas:
but seriously, i'm trying to keep things classy here :ld:

any male pretending to be a female online
is a wine cooler away from taking a dikk in the ass.

Maybe turn over her instagram to a trusted female friend/acquaintance/family member? Pay them a small fee?
