Link Your blog • Your posts will automatically appear on goodreads. • Your followers will be notified of your posts • There will be tons of exposure for your books http://amyharrop.com/


Promoting A Kindle Book With Friends And Fans • Goodreads has a friends system that works a lot like the friends systems on other sites • Join a Goodreads Group

• Join discussions. • Leave a comment. http://amyharrop.com/


It's good to have friends but it's even better to have fans – Fans are best for the ego – Set up a Q&A Group for discussion and invite your fans or friends. – Goodreads members love to chat with authors

You can also send messages to your friends and fans – Be sparing with this to avoid being seen as a spammer. – Only send messages when there is a major event like giveaway or publication of a new title. http://amyharrop.com/


Promoting A Kindle Book With Paid Advertising On Goodreads • Goodreads offers pay-per-click contextual ads. • Select demographic and genre so that your ads are shown to the right people.

• Upload a free chapter so they can preview your book directly from the ad. http://amyharrop.com/


Promoting A Kindle Book With Goodreads Giveaways • Offer a physical copy of your book. Don’t worry because you only have to give away one copy. • Consider joining the Goodreads advertising program to advertise your giveaway. http://amyharrop.com/


Responding to Negative Reviews • NEVER post a comment or contact the reviewer through the message system. • By commenting, you are pushing bad review up into a more prominent position. http://amyharrop.com/


• Bad reviews can be useful feedback that you can learn from the next time that you write a book. • REMEMBER: Every author has some bad reviews. http://amyharrop.com/


Responding to Positive Reviews • Click the button to like them. • Or you can just leave a comment thanking that person. • Either one of these actions will help the positive review up toward the top of the list.
