7. 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 http://amyharrop.com/
8. 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.

9. Promoting A Kindle Book With Paid
Advertising On Goodreads

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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. • 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.

13. 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. http://amyharrop.com/
