Writers Places on the Internet

Writers Places on the Internet, like Goodreads, are nice places, but not nice places to promote your book. I am the same as the rest of them, so I'm not complaining. I'm on there, and like everyone else, I hope people buy and/or read my book. But the thing about places like Goodreads or AuthorsDen, or writers blogs, and the like, is that everyone is a writer, and no one is a reader. That is to say, everyone has a book or books that they wrote, and their priority is to promote their books, not read other people's books.

So who is reading the books? Not writers. At least not those writers. I've a lot to learn still when it comes to promoting a book. You don't promote your book on a writer's site. That's one thing I learned.Unfortuately, I don't know many readers. Just writers, it seems. Hopefully, the publishers know more readers than I do. They should, anyway. Heck, they better. If they know as many as two readers, than that's more readers than I know!
