THE Group for Authors! discussion

I've been having trouble getting the Goodreads app on my dashboard, the one that people are supposed to be able to click and see your author profile, to show up on my Facebook page. I've clicked the "okay" button, even entered my Facebook password when requested. Does anyone have any ideas? I know it says I need to get permission. How do I do that?

I have wondered the same thing.

I've just done it and it was as easy as they said, although i didn't have to give permission anywhere. All I did was follow theses instructions:
1.Create a Facebook Page if you don't already have one.
2. Visit your author dashboard.
3. Scroll down to the "Facebook Page Tab" section.
4. Click the green "Add the Goodreads app" link in this section.
5. A pop-up will appear. Choose your page from the drop-down menu and hit "Okay."
6. Navigate to your Facebook fan page. You should now see a Goodreads icon on the "About" bar (under the "Like" button). Click on this to visit your page tab.

I tried what you said. It didn't work. After I did all the other steps I went to the "About" bar. First of all, there was no "Like" button. There was no Goodreads icon. Is this because it is my personal Facebook page? I don't have a professional one.

I think it only works with business pages, but why don't you start one? It would be a good place to promote your books,too!

Thank you, Angelika! I have created a business page with Facebook and the Goodreads app works!
