Goodreads giveaways have been free, but will cost you starting in January 2018! Set up your giveaways before the price increase.
Setup takes only a few minutes and helps with discoverability of your book. You pay for the cost of the books, as well as the shipping cost.
I’ve created a 5-minute video to show you how easy it is. While you’re there, please do me a quick favor and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
The Goodreads giveaway price will be $59 in January, and $119 beyond that. The premium price will be $599. Yikes!
