I am not inventing the wheel here, but apparently I am. If you don't know what Goodreads is, this article is probably not for you.
After the opening there are no additional words. No words are needed. If you are an author, and you have a presence on Goodreads, and you have a blog, and you want to get people from Goodreads to your blog (or to eventually buy your book), this is the article for you.
I now go into Goodreads once a day. I friend anyone and everyone. I leave. That's it.
Look at the pictures. They tell how I did it.
Is Goodreads Good for You?
P.S. It took me 15 minutes to write this article, including the screenshots.
