Goodreads and other marketing tools

I just finished my ten book giveaway for "The Moonstone" on Goodreads and over a thousand people entered! I had some trouble setting it up since for some reason my profile was missing several key bits of information and at the very end, when I got the finished notice to approve, I thankfully noticed that the country listed for the giveaway was Denmark! (luckily it wasn't too late to EDIT)  Thanks to the group threads I was able to navigate my way through the electronic maze...I am also impressed by the efficiency of the Goodreads staff--they randomly select the winners and then send a copy of their names and addresses to me for mailing the books...AND, I have noticed that many people now have my book listed as 'to read' so I think the promotion was definitely worth it.

With the success of this one I am now ready to embark on the Kindle giveaway on Amazon. So far I've listed my dates for June 1-5. I sent an e-mail to find out what I need to do to promote this and await Amazon's sage advice...I'm assuming the recipient must have a Kindle and can then download off the website but how do people find out about this wonderful event?

Being a newbie to all the social media marketing possibilities, I am unable to take in a lot of information people share. I find that I need things spelled out step by step. But if the list is too long I will walk away.
Every time I manage to accomplish something on the computer I am thrilled and delighted and it leads me a tiny bit further into the secret world that so many people gad about in with ease. But ultimately for me this way of marketing is far superior to giving a talk at a bookstore. To even get to that point would require hefty amounts of pre-promotion and self-selling, something I am REALLY not good at.

So a big thank you to the Goodreads staff and all the people who entered the giveaway. I so appreciate your interest! And those who won--I hope you love the book! And don't forget, Book II, "Saille, the Willow", will be out at the beginning of July if not sooner...
