Promoting A Kindle Book With Friends And Fans

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/

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.

Promoting A Kindle Book With Goodreads Giveaways

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.

• 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.

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.
