You’ve written a book.

Now what?

Many new authors freak out at this stage. Don’t. You don’t need to spend four hours a day on Twitter and other social networking sites begging people to buy your book.

Use Goodreads. No pressure involved. You can just do what you usually do — read — and can promote your book at the same time.

Goodreads has a special author program, which you should join immediately — even if you’re just thinking that you may want to write a book someday.

From: Author Program – use Goodreads to promote yourself and your books
