January 3 question: Do you follow back your readers on BookBub or do you only follow back other authors?
Honestly, I'm not very active on BookBub or Goodreads. The only people I follow on BookBub are other authors. The only reason I keep the Naughty Netherworld Press Goodreads account active is because I have the blog feature set to mirror my blog posts on the official Naughty Netherworld Press blog.

Facebook rejects links from my blogs as "abusive," and I can certainly see why. There is nothing more abusive than promoting one's writing without putting money in Zuckerberg's pocket. However, Facebook and GoodReads (powered by Amazon) have an understanding, so I post links to the GoodReads blog rather than my own.
You can promote your books on Readers Roost free of charge. Readers Roost is a multi-genre blog, so pretty much anything goes. If you have an upcoming book tour you'd like to let me know about or if you'd like me to put together a guest post for you, email me at chartley65 at gmail with BOOK PROMO (all caps helps) in the subject line. If I'm putting together a guest post I will need a media kit with all information you'd like me to include and graphics attached separately. I can promo books in languages other than English but the post will be in English so the information provided in the media kit must be as well.
I also recommend joining the Marketing for Romance Writers group. You don't have to be a romance writer. You can find other authors willing to help with promotion in this group.

Wishing you all a productive year, whether you're active on BookBub and GoodReads or not!
I don't do anything with BookBub either. I follow some authors on Goodreads to know about their new releases. Thanks for the other resources for marketing your book.
ReplyDeleteI've read way to many criticisms of Goodreads to get deeply involved with it.
