Bill Fairclough asked John Hennessy:

Can you name/explain any specific way you can identify whereby Goodreads has had a direct impact on increasing your book sales?

John Hennessy Thanks for the question Bill. I think we would all love more sales, but GoodReads is more about exposure. I think the giveaway program helps with exposure, which in turn, helps with sales. I think it would be wrong to say only one element of marketing or self promo would work on its own. It has to be a combination of many factors. So I would go with a giveaway, but truly one needs to network more, through the groups, through friends, through active reviewers and of course, other authors.
