message 151: by Graham (new)

Graham | 99 comments Thank you Brian, I have liked and tagged all of your books as well as your author page. Much appreciated and thanks for the comment about the book - I've sold a few so far and had very good feedback.


message 152: by Brian (new)

Brian Menard (brianmcse) | 241 comments Thanks for doing all my books, Graham. As for yours, I'm sure there has to be millions of people who can relate to your story. I'm confidant this will be a success for you. I hope you've started a second book already,too. Best wishes for success!


message 153: by Graham (new)

Graham | 99 comments No problem Brian. Thanks again for doing mine and I appreciate your encouraging words. I only published a few weeks ago so I'm quite nervous about the whole thing so your support and likes are much appreciated. I have started a second book as well.

Graham | 99 comments Many thanks, Brian! I liked and tagged both of your books, your author page and I listed your 5 star reviews as helpful. Thanks again!

message 157: by Graham (new)

Graham | 99 comments I heard somewhere that if you get over 40 "likes" on your author page, it bumps you up in terms of ranking and makes you easier to stop for the search engines?

Anyone know if there's any truth to that at all?


message 158: by Brian (new)

Brian Menard (brianmcse) | 241 comments Just my opinion, but I don't think the "40 Likes" makes any difference at all. I hit that level about 6 months ago and there was no difference with my book. I think one of the best tools, is the "listmania" lists you can create. My book is showing up on a lot of the same pages as many of the "Best Sellers" for my books genre now as a result of them.


message 159: by Graham (new)

Graham | 99 comments Oh wow, thanks Brian! How would I go about creating a "listmania" list to put my book into?


message 160: by Brian (new)

Brian Menard (brianmcse) | 241 comments Hi Graham,
You can simply scroll down on virtually any Amazon page and you'll see a prompt for "Create a Listmania List on this page?" Or you can go to your Amazon profile page and create them along with the "So you'd like to..." pages which are very usefull also.
Here is the link to view my Profile and all of my Listmania lists and "How to" lists to give you an idea how you could set them up. Listmania lists are very quick and easy to create. The "How to" lists take a lot more thought, effort and writing. I hope this helps, a little.


message 161: by Graham (new)

Graham | 99 comments Great, I've just made one. Thanks Brian.

One thing I do know is, as an author, more likes looks better on your profile/author page. It's rather like a vote of confidence. I doubt it has any effect on Amazon rankings, but it could tip the balance when a new reader is considering buying one of your books.

Trista DiGiuseppi (trysta) Nails Jane

http://www.amazon.com/Nails-Jane-Tris...

Synopsis:
Ati is a soldier with a distaste for authority. But she's willing to follow orders if it means she can spend a few days back on Earth. As each mission ends, the search for her lost husband begins. But her search reveals more about her past than she ever anticipated. Cast into exile, she finds herself stranded on a strange and savage planet. But the war against Humanity reaches far beyond Earth. As Ati struggles to survive in the strange, celestial wilderness, she discovers even the Guardians of our universe are in danger. The process of living and dying has been interrupted, as a monstrous weapon threatens to devour all existence. Ati learns she must return from exile with a warning for every sentient creature: Be mindful of extinction. Trista DiGiuseppi's Nails Jane is a fantastic tale told from multiple perspectives, interspersed with thematic interludes and original artwork.

When you like books from Amazon UK it will highlight but the number will only change & show if you buy the book. But if they have tags showing you can click the tags and that will help them.

Kait Neese Mason (kaitneesemason) | 84 comments Mod
My name is Kait Neese and I am the creator of this wonderful group of ours! I work full time with my publishing firm and work this Goodreads group as a side project because I really do love the concept of authors being in charge of their own success. However I have a responsibility/duty to my direct authors and my employers to make sure that comes first - which I am sure you can understand.

I have so enjoyed watching this group grow and authors around the world coming together to help one another out. So a big thank you to everyone out there who is taking their success into their own hands and realizing other authors are not the enemy and that working together will take you so much further than working against one another. (Ok ok end of cheesy moment, smile)

I posted a thread a few months ago about what three things matter most to you, as an author, that a publisher could do to help you out. Really help you out. I had some great feedback and really appreciate the comments made! (The post can be found by clicking here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...)

That being said I noticed a few authors mentioned distribution as something they would like publishers to help out more with. I do quite a bit of traveling to international book fairs and specialize in helping authors and sm/medium sized publishers “go global”.

I will be hosting a webinar on book rights (translation rights) and distribution into China on August 6th at 2:00 pm EST. I wanted to give my appreciation and gratitude to all of the authors in this group for their continued dedication and participation on these threads so I thought this might be a really cool thing to do. (Free of charge of course : )

Please see my latest thread for more information on what we will be discussing and how to sign up here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Hope you can make it!

Nabse Bamato (wwwgoodreadscomnabse_bamato) | 46 comments Hi D. Did you know there is a more recently used and very active thread doing this liking elsewhere in the group? You will probably have better results there as this one looks old (or you could try both!). It' s listed under the second of the 'General' sections and is called something like 'swap Amazon author likes' started by a guy called Joseph..... I'll like you from here anyway but probably a good idea to try there as well. My details are on the thread too - grateful for a like back ;-) . Good luck. It takes a while but really does work....

Christopher Meeker (christophercmeeker) | 11 comments Also, a little-known fact about the author page like button is that it helps increase you amazon ranking with each like. It's a small amount but nonetheless every little bit helps.

Here is my author page: http://www.amazon.com/Christopher-C.-...


HAWTHORNE Chronicles of the Brass Hand ~ Mystirio Astronomiki by Christopher C. Meeker


I will try to 'like' each of your author pages as quickly as I can but I see I'm a bit behind.
