THE Group for Authors! discussion

I created a Q&A group several days ago in hopes of promoting an upcoming free day for the Kindle version of my book, but I can't figure out how to get the group listed someplace so people can find it. I've invited a few friends, but so far I'm the only member. How can I get the group going?

Hi Sue,

You can send an invite to your friends on GR to join your group. You can also post the link on twitter and facebook and a website if you have one.

Also if the other groups you are a member of allow posting for promotion you can put it on there as well.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Belinda. I tried sending invites to my GR friends and posted links on facebook and my website, but what I am looking for is #4 in the list on the GR site discussing Q&A groups:

"Goodreads will feature the group in the groups and authors sections of the site. Also, once a few people have joined the group, it will have the chance to spread virally and naturally though the Goodreads community."

How do I get my group listed in the groups and authors sections?

Maybe you can send a message to Patrick Brown. He's one of the admins on GR and is top notch.

Hey guys, Does anyone know how to access their Goodreads ID? I know it's got to be here somewhere, probably right under my nose, but I've been digging the site for a while and can't seem to find it.

Big thanks

Thanks again, Belinda. I'll try that link.

Hi Johnny,
Can you be a little more specific on what you mean? Are you looking for your url to your author page?

Hi Belinda, thanks for the reply.

No, I'm looking for the actual ID #. I've seen it on listings for other authors. It's like an 8 or 9 digit number, much like the amazon code. Maybe it's an account #.

I'm still looking around.

again, thanks.
