Mehmet Yildiz asked Darryl Greer:

Hi Darryl, I am pleased to connect with you here. Even though we are from different backgrounds for writing, we can still share some insights. I'd like to explore your work. As I am new here, is that possible for you to mentor me here how to better use this platform to meet like-minded authors and readers?

Darryl Greer Hi Mehmet, I would be delighted to help you in any way I can. I must admit to only getting to grips myself with Goodreads after being in the doldrums for a long time. Publishing my latest novel, just last month, especially as I have self-published this time, has spurred me on to look for better ways to market myself as a writer of thrillers. Here are a few ideas to start with. 1. Get as many people as you can to review your books and post them on Amazon and Goodreads as well as any website they may have such as a blog; 2. Check out Listopia on this website and see if there is a genre that suits and ask friends to vote for your books in the appropriate list; 3. invite as many friends as you can -- especially those who show an interest in the material you publish; 4. follow as many as possible; 5. "like" as much as possible, etc. If you have any specific questions don't hesitate to ask. 6. Your books appear to be technical so you might like to provide free review copies to magazines, trade publications, etc. where they might be of interest to readers.
