We need your help to make the best group on good reads bigger! Up until the 10th August, we will be running a campaign called the secure 5 friends challenge.

All you need to do is invite as many friends as you want in order to have at least 5 of them join our group.

Once you have confirmed that they have joined our group, send us their names so we can confirm that you have invited them and that they are now a part of our group.

Keep in mind that once someone sends an invite, that person is normally unable to be invited again.

The campaign only counts NEW people from this posting date on wards who have joined the group. You will need to claim them so that we can confirm that they have joined.

We want to build a community here and we also want to get the word out. Only five people are needed to be confirmed for your entry but the more you can confirm, the better, as you will see below. Also, keep in mind that not everyone responds to messages so it will have to be a minimum of 5 confirmed responses from people you have invited.

So what do you get out of this? Excellent question.

The first 31 people who get five people invited, contact us to advise us of who these people are and are confirmed get a great prize. The prize is a full feature on our face book page about you.

There will be one feature a day for a full month. The feature will include picture/s, information about you as a reader, blogger, reviewer, writer etc. and links to any websites that you operate. We will also tweet about you that day and get the word out about you.

There is another prize that only ONE PERSON CAN WIN.
There will be a prize for the person who can demonstrate that they have recruited the most group members.

This will be an entire week on our face book page featuring you. Information about yourself, an interview, features on your website, blog, books etc for AN ENTIRE WEEK! This is a great prize, you will get promoted to thousands of people just for sending out invites.

Get cracking and we look forward to meeting new members and building a stronger community.

Hi Guys, if you have had your friends join, shoot us their details and we will confirm. Michael you have two confirmed so far. Joyce, send us the information and we will try to confirm for you. The more names you give us, the quicker we will be able to do this. There are 31 spots available, that is correct plus one massive spot for the person who invites the most.

Guys when you send out the invites, it helps if you tell the person what the group offers. We have a wide range of things for different subcultures on good reads ie, readers, authors etc. We are a community that offers a lot of different resources, discussions and support. Mention this and you will be more inclined to have people join.

We expect that we will announce the first winners today, really exciting stuff!

Teresa, go down the bottom of the group page, where it says members, click invite.

You can also message your friends directly with the link.

I have my five friends. I wasn't sure if I posted them here or if there is another way to message you guys. Sorry. My goodreads skills are sorely lacking. My friends who joined are Jordan Keith, Clint White, Hillary Luevano, Stephanie Elms, Rebecca Gage, and Rhonds Johnson so far.

Still verifying Michael. We should know soon. We will let you know as soon as we get confirmation.

Ok, it is official. Congratulations Michael, you are the first winner! There are now 30 places available. Less than 24 hrs into the competition and we have knocked one place out of contention.

There are a number of authors who are so close and have messaged us to let us know of the people that have joined because of their invite. We do check this and confirm the information.

Remember, the prize is for five confirmed members. Not five invites. Also when you send us the names, please ensure they are spelled correctly so that we can check them accurately, message them etc.

You can check (I believe) under members and then typing the persons name in.

Michael your day will be August 1st. We will be in touch with you to discuss the event. Congratulations again, sorry about the delay, we have to check these out and ensure the conditions are met.

Hi - I sent you links so you can verify.. some of my friends who joined have nicknames.

Michael Brookes (technohippy) Thanks everyone!

Ashley Tropea (ashleytropea) | 2 comments I've invited 64 people, but I'm a little confused. If I didn't put a message will that hurt my chances of winning?


message 25: by eBook (new)

eBook Miner (ebookminer) | 544 comments Mod
I would say it would help to put a message Ashley but you should still get some accepting. You can also message your friends and tell them about it as well.

We now have the podium sorted, 2 more spots went over night. Congratulations to Joyce Yarrow and C.J. Anaya.

There are now 28 positions left in this great competition! Michael also had another person he invited confirmed over night which makes him the leader at the moment.

There are still 28 positions left! Secure one today!

A few ppl were so close today, only needing 1 or 2 more. I am sure we will get a few more members across the line soon to win a great promotion day. C.J. Anaya is winning the first place prize to win promotion for a week, I have to tally up the votes a bit better but she has at least hit double figures. Michael is coming second. More will follow in the next couple of days.

Mkittysamom (mkittysabkworm) | 13 comments How do we know who answered our invites? I am pretty sure TW Piperbrook answered my invite when I checked my friends.


message 40: by ReadWriteLove28 (new)

ReadWriteLove28 I've had 3 people accept the invitation so far, only 2 more to go!

This works ^ and is a great way to check. We have other ways of checking as well. We are in the process of checking your Meghan.

Ashley has won the 4th spot, there are now 27 places left! I think another author is so so close, I think that person will be the next winner shortly.

Get in and get the invites going for your chance to win a spot, you can also write the person to get them to join if you like doing it that way.

I cannot wait to announce the next winner!


message 43: by ReadWriteLove28 (new)

ReadWriteLove28 5 of my friends that I invited have joined!
