This is a useful resource for those just getting started on social media. It gives information on how to get started on the platforms along with tips for managing your account once you've started posting. Even though I've been on social media for a couple of years, I was able to glean some useful information. Thanks for such a great resource!

This is a very basic overview of the different types of social media and how to create and post content. It gives good tips on writing reviews. It's good for what it is. I was hoping for a little more deeper dive into the social media platforms. It works fine for someone just starting to post reviews on the different platforms.

This handbook was beyond helpful!
It gave tips and advice and even common rules for reviewing and sharing book content in social media. I created a content calendar and my views and follows has gone up within one week. I've already recommended it to multiple new bookstagramers!
It's great to have to go back to later for more tips if I wanted to add a new social media platform like YouTube.

This guide is very useful in determining how to best approach bookish content and book reviews in social media. It provides specific advice for different platforms as well general overall advice on setting up your profile and how you want to present your content. Lots of do's and don'ts are included, some I hadn't thought of like don't use quotes from ARCs as it may not be finalised yet. Lots of food for thought and practical advice.

If you are just starting with social media, this is a good resource with tips and tricks for different platforms. The social media guide also includes links to more information on every topic. Most useful for me were the tips for taking photographs of ebooks and audiobooks for Instagram.

This was very useful! I have been a part of the bookish community since 2017. I have been a member of Netgalley since 2019 and I noticed the more recent upgrades, tools, and social media impact in the bookish community. In addition, I understand more now how to utilize social media and the impact it can make as far as books and supporting authors. I hope Netgalley makes more tools and informative products like this I would love to read and review them! Thank you Netgalley from the bottom my heart for the tools and support!

Social media can definitely be overwhelming. I try to stick to just a few apps and I'm now even more comfortable in my decision to not do video review after reading the tips here. I appreciate the advice and will implement some of the tips here for things I didn't consider, such as tagging the publisher.

Super helpful tips on writing reviews and promoting on social media! The tips for X/Bluesky were especially helpful, as well as the knowledge to use Canva to edit covers onto e-readers!

NetGalley comes through with yet another tool to help boost your NetGalley experience! After reviewing the Reading Journal and Book Advocate Toolkit, have kept an eye out for anything else NetGalley publishes to assist reviewers. This was a great introduction and explanation of the various social media platforms and how to get started with them. I primarily post on Instagram and GoodReads, but I have been curious about some of the other platforms out there, and this has once again got me thinking about if I can expand my reach with other platforms. I will be investigating some of the options discussed to see how I might be able to share books on more platforms and be more effective with my tags and hashtags. Thank you for providing this!
