YES! This was extremely helpful especially before my book launches on Nov 5th. Thank you! I plan to take advantage of all your ideas. I really liked the chart about leaving your own review. Way to go.

[@LaurenHelms]

Thank you so much for this video! Newbie author here, releasing my first book next month. And I'm LOST on how to market this book! Plus, my budget is so, so small!

[@TiyanaMarieWrites]

Thanks so much for making and sharing this. I've not heard anyone else explain the benefits of using Goodreads quite like this before--and it seems so simple, not to mention free!

[@karentomsovic5472]

Alessandra, this is great info! Thank you so much. I'm one of those authors who's shied away from Goodreads because of the negative things I've heard about the site. After watching this, I'm going to give it another shot.

Thank you so much!! I have a book and a movie to promote at the same time and this was super helpful! Thank you so much again.

Thanks Allessandra, this was very helpful.

[@heidieljarbmorrellandersen9474]

Easy to understand. Thank you.

[@specialcreativityinc]

[@DarinMartineau]

Thank you very much this is very helpful for me I am an author of 100 books!

[@castingcauldron6578]

Very helpful! Subscribed. Having trouble however writing a review. I made a comment and a status update.

[@EnergyFlux2012]

Great info, but I'm told Goodreads charges for giveaways now.

[@bobpalumbo3781]

I enjoyed this video..thank you. And I did add my upcoming book today and did a few status updates (you at right...I have not been using that feature). But when I add an update...how come I do not see my updates in the news feed?

[@RedSapphires]

What track-able purchase link source did you use for the release you're referencing in this video?

[@missyrichardson2370]

Hey Alessandra, I currently have a second book in with the illustrator, I am wondering if it would be better to do a book release after the book is ready to go to be published before launching? It looks like it takes a bit for the cover to be added by Goodreads if you don't already have it at time of launch?

[@davidnees2470]

Good info. I just checked on Goodreads about a giveaway. The basic package costs $119. plus the cost of the giveaway. Am I checking in the wrong place or did the program change?

[@davidblazechildrensauthor2144]

It changed. This video is from over a year ago.

Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "list best romance novels" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Foonatah Omnipresent Magnification - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my neighbour got great success with it.
