Y.A readers everywhere* discussion

Hi. I'm looking for some group moderators as I'm all on my own here (lol) and could use some help. If you could tell me a bit about yourself and why you would like to be a moderator that would be a great help.
Thanks :)

Thanks amber ill add u the now:)

Hi Jess,
I have just joined your group and I am new to this whole website, but I would love to be a moderator. I am a goodreads author, if that helps any. :)

We would love to have you. This is my first group so I'm in need of a little help starting out :)

Hi Jess i would love to help you out. I love reading all types of books. YA books are some of my favorites books to read. I just saw your group and decided to join.

Hi Jackie. Will defiantly take you into consideration. Just a quick question, what would you like to bring to the group/ what ideas do you have for it??

I would bring my love of books, also I love to be creative and try new ideas. I would help out wherever I am needed.

Okay we would love to have you. I'm trying to find ways to get members more involved with fun things to do.
My main goal just now is to spread the word about this group and get more people to join but I need your help to make that happen. So try to leave word of our group everywhere possible.
Thanks :)

We got like 5 new members in the past few days. That is pretty good :)

Yes I agree! :D

Okay thanks guys, I will get right on it. Has anyone posted in the moderrators support group?

I have not

I've joined but not yet posted will do that now. I'm also looking through other group that have a folder regarding groups and have been posting our group on them so hopefully that will get some people having a look :)
Thanks so much for your help. Don't think I could have got started on my own :)

Would you like me to add some games? That also gets people active in the group.

Yes, on you go. I think I'll rename this folder and have it to bounce ideas off each other.....

Great! We needed one lol

I walked away and came back and thought this was a new folder... I am really stupid...

Those games are really good Jackie, thanks for doing them. Lets hope that gets more people involved :)

I'm going to make a new folder for moderators only and will move this into it (just in case you wounded where its gone)

One more thing, I was thinking of doing a points system type thing that you get from completing challenges we set up. At the end of the month whoever has the most point at the end gets to pick one of the months group read/ win something (no idea what)/ any other ideas you have?.
What you think??

Okay for next month poll I've had two requests but need more ideas as I aim to post it up ASAP!

Like the point system, and what are the polls about?

Oooop should have mentioned its for next months group read

I think that's a good idea (the points system) It will keep people involved in the group.

Hey I just thought of a way to get people in the group. We should have a contest where we challenge the members to see how many people they can get to join the group. The top 2 wins a price or becomes mod for a month. What do you guys think?

Here's a thought to go with that. Whoever the top two are, I will send each one an ebook copy of my book as a prize. Who doesn't want a free book? If there are other authors in the group, we could ask them if they would like to do the same

Wow! Great idea

It is YA, so it fits the group and as we get other authors involved, we can see if they want to do the same. A different book/ author for each month's prize

I think that's a great idea (giving away free book) but we would maybe be better waiting till we get more members for that.

I like it, but when we do it we should send out a broadcast message.

Yeah I think we should start with the points system and if that works and gets people active, and then try the book competition :)

We have three other authors that I have counted. I agree we should wait. Maybe when we have around 50 members we could start it

Yeah sounds like a good idea. So for the points system, I so it all but I could do with some ideas for the challenges??

A spring challenge. Where we read books with anything about spring in the title or the book. I don't know just something to think about.

Yeah I like it but what about books with grass oh the cover or something like that (maybe not grass.....)

Spring? Maybe books that came out in the spring? Idk... I haven't read any books that had anything to do with spring...

No that's why I'm thinking of spring related covers (ie grass, flowers ect)

Yeah. We should probably put out a list of examples for people so they can get a few ideas on what to read

Yeah so what should the first one have on the cover??? I've added a message to 'updates' folder

I don't kno, maybe put up a poll about it?

Yeah but I still need ideas for the poll.....
What about books with butterflies on the cover (don't know if there is any like...)????

I don't know, maybe the spring idea was dumb

What about books with a color on the cover??

Yeah I like that. How about we take all of those ideas and create a poll and let the members decide what sounds good to them?

Okay I could do that in the morning or do you want to do it??

Which ideas?

You can, i'm not sure how to do it

Okay so what ideas you want me to put up??

I like the butterfly idea and maybe one or to colors but we really have to make sure there are books with that sort of thing on the cover......

Okay so I finaly managed to get the challenge tab up (had to go through 4 different groups to find out how, lol) so will post the first challenge today. Should we just go for a color because they kind of books should be easy to find????
