1. A. True. Your book needs to be in our database and have a publication date in order for you to claim your profile (i.e.: you’re either a published author or a soon-to-be published author). To claim your profile, click on your author name and submit the application at the bottom of the page.
2. D. List your first giveaway as early as possible to start building advance buzz. Many publishing houses send galleys out 6-9 months before the publication of the book! You can list as many giveaways as you like before and after publication.
3. D. All of the above activities generate great content and raise awareness of your presence on 카지노싸이트, which will persuade readers to follow you.
4. B. The best way to approach updating covers is to create a new edition of your book and combine it with the old ones. Since readers can be very particular about which edition they shelve, it’s 카지노싸이트 policy not to delete covers. If you’re in doubt, post to the librarian group for someone to help out.
5. B. You need to approve every single friend request, but anyone can follow you. On your publication date, 카지노싸이트 automatically emails all your followers; we don’t email your friends. Encourage readers to follow you!
6. B or D. You can add your books to the database manually here if you don’t see them on your book page. However, you can always post to the librarian group when you need help with your metadata.
7. D. You need to see the 카지노싸이트 Author badge in the top right corner of your profile, and when you’re logged into your account you should be able to navigate to /author/dashboard. Simply having an account on 카지노싸이트 doesn’t make you a 카지노싸이트 Author, since you want your activity on the site to be associated with the book so that readers can easily find you.
8. A. You only need one physical copy of your book to set up a giveaway on 카지노싸이트. You can run as many giveaways as you like, but they each must last a minimum of one week. Set up your giveaways here.
9. A. Yes, authors are allowed to review their own books. 카지노싸이트 displays “review from the author” next to your own review. Reviewing your own book though is likely not going to sway your audience. Instead, use the opportunity to write about what inspired you to write the book. Here is an example.
10. A. Sure thing! You can give away any book you have written yourself, whether it was published 10 years ago or 10 days ago.

Thanks.

Also, what does a 카지노싸이트 Author badge look like (#7)? How do we get one? Last year I went through what I thought was the whole process to be a 카지노싸이트 Author, but maybe not.

Hi Lynda! You're a 카지노싸이트 Author - the badge is on the top right hand side of your profile. More info about the Author Program here.
As for the link in #9, it is redirecting to an example of how an author can review their own book. Keep an eye out for others - it's definitely an art form in striking the right tone and balance.
Thanks all for the kind words! Really glad you're enjoying this post - I had fun creating it!

Great question! To clarify the friend/follow relationship - of course you can accept friend requests on 카지노싸이트. Just keep in mind that those person's activities will show up in your updates feed.
It's perfectly fine to set a message in your account settings that you only accept friend requests from people you actually know IRL, and direct others to follow you instead.
Don't forget to include the 카지노싸이트 badge on your website and in your newsletter or email signatures or anywhere else you tell people to follow you online.

Yeah, I just ran a giveaway for 20 copies of my latest book and I opened it up to readers all over the world. Out of over 2100 entries, 11 winners were from countries outside the US. I mailed all my copies through the Post Office this morning and the price of shipping to any country overseas is ten times more expensive to ship a physical copy than within America. Between the cost of the copies and what I spent on mailing, this giveaway cost me well over $300; I'm a full-time student on food stamps, working part-time in retail just to make ends meet. E-books would have been free--an attachment in an e-mail. India and Indonesia are shaping up to be hot spots for my books because of my disdain for descriptive narrative, which apparently throws many readers whose first language is not English. Will it all be worth it? I hope so; I'll take sales from wherever I can get them.

I got 6 right. I still have a lot to learn about 카지노싸이트 and how to get the most out of it but, the emails that you send with advice and how to's is helpful.

PATIENCE. So much patience, believe me. I actually just answered a similar question on my page: /questions/1...
Hope it helps!


Great question! To clarify ..."
I still don't know why 카지노싸이트 puts readers into two lists versus one. Aside from being more accurate, two lists combined into one better reflects an "unknown" author's visibility, and that boosts reader confidence in their books. It's a win-win for both, and also for 카지노싸이트 as it's the place to go to find talented new authors and great new works.


Thank you, Audrey!
