No worries. it would be incredibly embarrassing asking people to read one's stuff and ask them for money. It would also be taking advantage of them. I post a friend link to my facebook page most days. Some of my friends I've made on other sites who raead my stuff there (Google Plus, Hupbages, etc.) They became friends and patrons on Patreon). But they all know that I would never ever ever ask them to read my stuff. I post my stuff as a courtesy. And they all know that if they want one of my books, they only havve to ask and I will send it to them free.

Friends are different to fans.
