ABOUT THE ONDEMAND WEBINAR
No other social networking site is more important for a writer to leverage than Goodreads. Other platforms such as Twitter and Facebook have people talking about everything from politics and current events to showing off foodie pictures. Only Goodreads is entirely dedicated to bibliophiles. But with204,000 authors vying for the attention of 50 million unique monthly visitors, how can you find an audience?
The answer is you learn from an expert, and Michael J. Sullivan and his wife, Robin, are exactly that. Goodreads has featured Michael in presentations made at Book Expo America, and Goodreads' Director of Author Marketing cited him as “one of the most effective authors on Goodreads" in a Forbes article on author branding. The techniques the pair have perfected have made Michael one of the most followed authors on the site (#41 in the US and #45 globally).
In this live webinar, the Sullivans will share specific tasks for writers at every stage of their career. Even aspiring authors can get a jump on building an audience. Plus, they'll be able to steer you away from potential pitfalls that could end up alienating rather than gaining readers.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- How to build your Goodreads author page for maximum effectiveness and how to adjust it at various career stages
- How to utilize Goodreads to generate pre-release buzz
- How to maximize Goodreads' feeds to build an audience
- How to avoid pitfalls when interacting with individuals or groups that can get you banned (or worse)
- How to creatively utilize fringe features of the site to get even more exposure
- How to adjust your strategies as your audience grows
