A while ago I posted a list of books that I have to trade. I update the post as I get new books and I have a link above my posts for the actual trading list. Since I posted the list I have gotten maybe one or two emails about trading and I don’t think it’s really easy to see what I have to trade. Is there something you guys would recommend doing to draw more attention to my list? I would really love to clear out some of my duplicate books and get some new ones that I want to read.
Any ideas would be helpful and if you want to trade comment or email me! =]
Well, err, there are some books I *might* like, but I don’t have any books on your wishlist and that’s what prevents me from emailing you. That’s just the view from the insecure me though. 🙂
I agree with Jenn completely. You should offer those duplicate books in exchange for bookstore giftcards, or something of that nature. All of ppl would be into it.
Same as Jenn & Dahlia. I just don’t have any of those books…
Have you tried using Swap on Goodreads? I use it to get rid of my dups and get books I want… I really like it and have had a great experience so far!
I’ve had a trade list up for a few months but never really got an answer. I ended up giving them all away. they all got claimed within 24 hours, I wonder why lol
I’ve had this problem too. So far my soultion has been mostly to update my trading list every once in a while and just post about it occasionally to remind people.
Maybe create a bigger wishlist, I am sure that there are more books that you want and that might make it easiest for other people to swap with you. :]
I just sent you an email 🙂
My suggestion is to join Goodreads.com and create a bookshelf called “Books to Swap” or something similar. Then you can grab a widget from that site to put on your blog sidebar that will show the book covers of books you’d like to swap. Hope that helps! 🙂
