As I mentioned I am new to Goodreads. I am a new author exploring ways to get my eBook out in front of potential customers. My advertising budget is essentially non-existent.
I thought I needed to go through this process of "adding" my book in order to make GoodRead members aware of its existence.
No?
Also, I thought the "book giveaway" program was something I could participate in to generate reader interest in my eBook, but it appears that eBooks are not eligible for this promotion tool.
So I was hoping to find an efficient way to let GoodRead members know of the availability of my new eBook. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!

* The history of gold prospecting in the United States, and the massive gold resources still waiting to be found in the lower 48 states are not known by the overwhelming majority of American citizens.
Most Americans don’t know that:
• Gold has already been found in over 75% of the United States - 38 of the 50 states.
• That the U.S. Geological Survey, the premier geologic science agency of the U.S. Government conservatively estimates that there are over 13,200 metric tons of gold still undiscovered in the lower 48 states. That is worth more than $514 Billion dollars at the 12/3/2014 New York closing price of $1,209.60/ounce.
• The estimate of undiscovered gold in the lower 48 states is almost 3 times the estimate of undiscovered gold in Alaska. (And yet most Americans don’t even think of looking for gold in the lower 48 states.)
• The U.S. Geological Survey says that 77.2+ million ounces of undiscovered gold is waiting to be collected east of the Rocky Mountains (worth approximately $92.6 Billion).
• The U.S.G.S. says that 347.2+ million ounces of undiscovered gold is waiting to be collected west of the Rocky Mountains (worth approximately $416.6Billion).
• One of the largest gold deposits in the western hemisphere with proven gold reserves of over 100 Million+ ounces ($67.5+ Billion) was discovered as recently as the 1960’s.
• A Gold mine in Wisconsin State produced $2.0+ Billion worth of Gold, Silver, and Copper between1993 and 1997.
• A Gold mine in South Carolina produced approximately 1.5 Million ounces of gold between 1988 and 1998.
This free eBook introduces the average American to a profound fact: with a basic introduction to the right tools and the free scientific resources available online, ANY American can find that gold!
