This handbook serves as a useful introductory guide to navigating social media and understanding the potential benefits of various platforms. It provides a surface-level overview to help beginners get started. However, for those with a basic understanding of social media, a more in-depth resource would be more beneficial for advancing their knowledge.

I thought this was a very helpful social media guide for those that are newer to bookstagram, booktok, etc. I found that so many of these tips helped me when I first started my bookstagram account.

Wow, wow, WOW!! This social media guide is filled to the brim with informative tips on how to make the most of your social media presence in this bookish space. I’m utterly thrilled to sit down and craft a game plan to really up the ante with my IG profile and posts. And dare I admit, I may have been convinced to give TikTok a fair chance?? NetGalley, thank you tremendously for providing these resources. I’m so excited to put them to use!

I found this guide to be infomrative without providing a lot of complicated and unnecessary information, This is a great resource for someone who is just starting to use social media as it provides an overview of platforms and useful tools. However, it may not be as helpful to someone who already has basic knowledge of social media.

I found this guide to be surprisingly useful! It offers tips and tricks across multiple platforms, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their skills. I picked up a few new ideas from reading this guide. Worth taking a look.

I love the new guide! After trying (and failing) to start a successful Bookstagram, I’m excited to use the techniques in this guide to give it another shot. I really appreciate all the support NetGalley offers to help beginners like me learn how to navigate their website, promote ourselves, write better reviews, and ultimately become more successful in getting approved for ARCs! Keep them coming!

This didn't provide anything of note. Just the same general advice already lobbed around about algorithms. The thing is, social media algorithms change so much that there's little point in ever making a guide. Also, this focuses less on authenticity and more on being a very standard blogger.

Great overview. This is high level and would be helpful for people new to the book review social media space.

This was such a useful guide! As someone who already uses bookstagram to share reviews, it was great to get more tips on how to improve my posts and encourage engagement. Will definitely be trying a few new things soon! This is a great tool and I am sure I will refer back to it regularly.

Ahhh this is such a useful and helpful guide! As someone who works in publishing (be it a small independent publishers) we are a very small team and this extra guidance on how to use social media is really good. There were definitely some tips and tricks I did not know about and look forward to using going forward. The fact that NetGalley put this together to help reviewers with their social content is 10/10!

Thank you so much for continuing with these guides - they really are appreciated!

This is a fairly comprehensive guide and should be the first point of call for those new to Bookstagram or another bookish community.
