I’ve learned many things in the few months since I began marketing my self-published debut novel, Suicide By Everest. There are so many marketing platforms for an author to promote their books, that you simply won’t have the time to sign-up, manage and stay current with all of them. I’ve decided to focus the next few months on seeing just how much mileage I can get out of Goodreads.
My Goodreads Author page is at: https://www.goodreads.com/author/18478258.Scott_J_Thurman
One of the great features on Goodreads is something that they call “Listopia” which groups and rank books according to some shared attribute. For example, Suicide By Everest, is now on a list called, “Mountains on the Cover”. If you feel so inclined, you can find that specific list, and vote (Top 5) on the books listed, which all have Mountains on the cover.
Below are the lists that Suicide by Everest is on, and it’s current rank (as of July 3, 2019). It also has lists that I would like it to be on, but need somebody, other than me to add to that list. (Hint: That’s where you come in.)
