How to Get the Most Out of Your Goodreads Site

.

Goodreads

.
Authors sometimes complain in my seminars that it is rather difficult to navigate Goodreads’ website – where over 26 Million! readers are converging on the search for the next great book.  However, when I ask them, if they clicked on each of the icons and links on Goodreads pages – or if they went to the FAQ sections and checked out the topics and answers there, I get a blank stare …

Goodreads helps not only authors to be discovered by potential customers, and provides links to the author’s sales pages, but is also a valuable source of information, contacts and possibilities to promote books. Just a few examples what you can get out of Goodreads:
.

  • FREE event announcements
  • Book Giveaways
  • Book Reviewer contacts
  • Communities for all book categories (25,000+)
  • Book recommendations
