Book Giveaway Promos Compared: Goodreads, Rafflecopter, and the New Amazon Giveaway

By Jodie Renner, editor & author, @JodieRennerEd

We indie authors are always on the lookout for effective ways to market and promote our books to create buzz and attract new readers.

I’ve just released a new craft-of-writing guide, Captivate Your Readers, so I decided to host a few giveaways of this title, both in e-book and print form, to increase awareness of it. I recently ran a group giveaway of 15 e-books on my blog through Rafflecopter, included my three writing guides and one of Janice’s. It turned out really well and generated lots of traffic and entries, as well as new subscriptions to my newsletter. I’m also considering running a Goodreads Giveaway, as I haven’t done one of those in over a year.
