This is general advice for creating social media posts about books. Useful to anyone starting out to do this type of posting.

There are helpful pictures and diagrams within this handbook's pages. In my opinion, the tips and suggestions for using social media, as the title purports, give great leverage for building up ones own networking. Although I have read a similar aid before, I found this to be a good review as well as an avenue to learning potential new skills.
