Goodreads is criminally under-used by indie authors, and a short, clear challenge is exactly the right move for us. 🙌 ____________________________________________________________________ 7-Day Community Challenge GOAL: Help authors actually use Goodreads (friends, follows, comments, reviews, DMs, giveaways) to build visibility, relationships, and long-term book momentum — not just “have a profile.” HOW IT WORKS: • 1 simple task per day • Post proof in the daily Skool thread • Earn points for each action • Winners announced at the end of the week ____________________________________________________________________ 📚 DAY 1: Goodreads Power Week — Profile Power-Up Welcome to Goodreads Power Week 🎉This week we’re turning Goodreads from a “set it and forget it” platform into a real visibility + relationship tool. ✅ Today’s Task: Profile Power-Up Your Goodreads profile is your first impression. Let’s make it work for you. Do at least 3 of the following: - Add or update your profile photo - Refresh your bio (who you are + what you write) - Add your website or social link - Add your book(s) or mark “currently writing” - Connect Goodreads to Amazon (if applicable) 📸 Proof to Post: - Screenshot of your updated profile - Comment with one thing you changed today ⭐ Points: 5 ✨ Tip: You don’t need perfection — clarity beats polish.
