New Goodreads Giveaway – a signed copy for anyone in the world! Plus, results of the previous one and a nifty spreadsheet to boot…

Hi, everyone! Just a quick one to let you know that you can enter on Goodreads to win a free AUTOGRAPHED copy of Shizzle, Inc! This time, I’ve opened the giveaway to the entire world, but it will run only for two weeks. I have updated the link in the sidebar, too.


And just in case you are wondering, here are the stats for the last one, which was for 5 unsigned copies for US, UK, Canada or Australia residents only:


Length: 22 days


People requesting: 815 (although it now says 813)


New added: 353


New additions on “to read” shelves: 342


I have calculated that each added “to read” book cost me about 12 cents. So far they have not converted to “currently reading”, although there has been some activity in the end of December – I may be bold and attribute 5 sales to this giveaway.


True to form, I have started a spreadsheet to keep track of the data – I will try to figure out the following:



Any impact on sales
Any impact on new reviews
Cost per “to read” addition

Isn’t she beautiful?

You can download: Shizzle Goodreads giveaways spreadsheet if you’d like to track your own giveaway data.


As always, your experience and opinions on Goodreads giveaways value for money is welcome!

Pam Baddeley Ana, I tried to post this on your actual blog but it 'eat' my comments -
Just to let you know, Catherine Ryan Howard has just produced a new post on Giveaways - http://catherineryanhoward.com/2016/0...

Ana Spoke Thank you, Pam - it just didn't appear because I have to approve anyone's first post (extra guard against spam and bullying). I've replied, and any new comments left by you should now appear instantly.

Thank you again for sending me the link!

Karen Tomsovic Thanks for the spreadsheet. I'm looking to do a giveaway for my book soon and this will come in handy.

Pam Baddeley Thanks Ana. I should have realised as I have the same safeguard myself: didn't know that it doesn't give an explanation, just goes back to the page with no sign of the post.
