Goodreads
As an author, you don’t need to use Goodreads extensively, unless it is part of your
marketing strategy. However, there are two things I recommend every author do on
Goodreads. These are quick, one-time tasks that you can do if you don’t want to
invest in yet another social network.
      Claim Your Author Profile
The first thing you should do is claim your author profile. Just follow the instructions on
Goodreads and let them know that you are the author of your book. Setting up an
author profile is one more place online where readers can find you, and since your
author page is just one click away from your book’s page, it’d be great if there was
something there for your readers to find.
     Make Sure Your Books Are In The Goodreads Database
The second thing you should do is make sure all of your books are listed on
Goodreads. Search the Goodreads site for each of your books, and if one isn’t listed,
go ahead and add it. It’s important to make sure your books are on Goodreads so
that when your readers want to add one of your books to their shelves, it’s there
waiting for them.
