📚 DAY 5: Ask a Question (Reader ↔ Author Connection Day) Today is about curiosity, not credentials. Whether you’re published or not, your voice belongs on Goodreads. ✅ Today’s Task: Ask 1 Thoughtful Question Choose the path that fits you: ✍️ If You’re an Author (published or pre-published): Ask one reader-focused question in: - A Goodreads discussion group - A book page discussion - A reading or genre thread Examples: - “What makes you trust a new author?” - “What do you hope a book leaves you feeling when you finish it?” - “What’s one thing that makes you recommend a book to others?” 📖 If You’re a Reader (no book published yet): Ask one favorite author a thoughtful question by: - Commenting on their book page discussion - Replying to one of their updates - Asking in a group thread where the author participates Examples: - “What inspired you to write this book?” - “Was there a chapter that was hardest to write?” - “What do you hope readers take away from this story?” 🚫 No pitching.✅ Genuine curiosity only. 📸 Proof to Post: - Screenshot of your question - Share why you chose that author or question ⭐ Points: 10 ⭐ Bonus: +5 if you reply to someone who responds to you ✨ Readers build relationships. Authors build insight. Everyone builds visibility.

📚 DAY 4: Review Day (High Impact) Reviews are currency on Goodreads — today you’re spending it wisely. ✅ Today’s Task: Leave 1 Review - Minimum 3 sentences - A book you actually read - Honest, specific, kind ✨ Bonus: Reviewing a fellow Skool member’s book earns extra points. 📸 Proof to Post: - Screenshot of your review - Drop the book title + why you recommend it ⭐ Points: 15 ⭐ Bonus: +5 for Skool member review Your words matter more than you think 💬 Below is my example. for our newest author @Stacy Dyson 👉 check it out ALSO I INVITE YOU TO REVIEW ONE OF MY books or a Collaborative anthology we have out. Thx in advance.

📚 DAY 3: Comment & Engage Visibility comes from showing up, not shouting. ✅ Today’s Task: Engage (No Self-Promo) Choose 2: - Comment on a book update - Like or comment on a review - Comment on an author’s status update 🚫 No pitching. ✅ Genuine, thoughtful interaction only. 👉 📸 Proof to Post: - Screenshot of 2 comments - Share one book or author you discovered today ⭐ Points: 10 This is how relationships start 👀📖 (I just did these things myself. - less than 5 min activity)
