#B2BCyCon Think Tank discussion

Go here... https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

And begin a new discussion thread. This will be your "booth."

For those of you who are not familiar with Goodreads...

...select "New Topic" found at the top, right hand corner. It is a green hyperlink. If you need help, please email me :) angelabchrysler@yahoo.com

If you don't know what to do yet, that's fine :) We'll come back to this. For now, just write "Reserved" and save. I recommend "Reserving" the first three to five posts of your thread for marketing. (You can always go back and delete what you don't want :)

This concludes Step #2 :)

Very helpful! I created my booth, but I didn't think to do that. Off to reserve them now!

Wonderful! :)

Can we only build one booth or thread? I built 2 but only see 1

Kello, Karen :) One booth per author. Now. If you have a podcast or side "business" that you host, let me know. I have a "discussion group just for those.

Okay, thank you. I will just go with this book since it is already published and ready. My other book releases in March .... if the stars all align.

OK, hope I did that right.

Hello, Melina! :)

I have three genres I write for and have the same issue as you. I recommend using the word "Multigenre" author or have a play with words to find something catchy.

Here is what I did for my booth... https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Hi Angela, if you have a space for side businesses, my book trailer business can go up: Stardance Media

Thanks!

OK, I need help. I created the booth and now I want to update it and I can't find it.

Never mind, I found it. GR doesn't make it easy. I have bookmarked it so I can find it again.

Hello, Devorah :)

Many people in a number of my groups have mentioned not being able to find threads or losing them. Something Godreads saves threads, doubles saves threads, or doesn't save threads at all. There is a "delay" with Goodreads saving things. If ever you need help, just let me know :)

Thanks. Part of my goal in participating in the convention is to get to know my way around Goodreads better.

Bump. If I have a side business, should I just go ahead and make a second booth?

Good question! Post it here under "Side Shows" https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

I finally got everything started including my booth. Whew!!

Yeah! Join the chaos! Welcome to my side of crazy!

I made a new "home page" for the booths at http://riverfiction.com/bookfair/

If you want your booth to be sorted on that page, please copy/paste the text below into your "booth" (I recommend a footer at the bottom) and delete the categories that don't apply to you:

Map Categories: #Children #Comedy #Fantasy #Horror #Historical #Memoir #Mystery #Nonfiction #Poetry #Romance #ScienceFiction #Steampunk #Suspense #Thriller #WomensFiction #YA

Note: I have to run a tool to regenerate the map periodically, so you won't see your booth sorted right away. More info...

Posted mine. Hope I did it correctly. :)

I can take a look if you wish :)

I saw on your booth that you have images of your books. How did you get those images in your comments? I tried dragging and dropping images and it didn't work, and I don't know how to use html to insert the images. Any help would be great, thanks!

Hello, Lydia!

Go here. www.angelabchrysler.com/brain-to-book...

Scroll down to the bottom of the page for "HTML For the Inept." JUST below that I explain how I did it :) The section is titled "Inserting hyperlinked image into Goodreads…" which you can Ctrl+F and it will take you there.

I'd show you here, but I can't use HMTL here without GR reading it.

Genius. The spoiler code is new on me. I need to give it a try.

Angela i can't find my booth !

I don't see one for you, either. Are you sure you created it in the right place? It needs to be in the Fair Grounds.

Easiest way to find something you've posted in a group in Goodreads: Put your name in the group search box. All your posts and comments will come up.
