I loved reading through this handbook because I want to start a bookstagram this upcoming year. I need all the guidance I can get.

As a beginner reviewer mainly using Instagram, this is a very helpful guide for some of the general dos and don'ts of book reviewing on social media, book review platforms, blogs, retail sites, and more.

This social media guide is a terrific resource for new book reviewers looking to get started with social media, as well as for knowledgeable users who want to elevate their content.

I really enjoyed how it included platform specific tips which I found very helpful. Extra shout out to the links included throughout the handbook to help grow your online presence.

I found this to be moderately helpful. The tips in outlined are pretty much common sense and what people know they should be doing already. I honestly don’t know what I expected, there really is nothing more to say on this topic than put in the work and engage, so I don’t really know what tips I expected to find. Still pretty helpful if you are new to SM though.

This was so helpful and I'll be referencing this a lot in the future. I loved the tips and tricks that are there for Bookstagrams as well as NetGalley accounts. Very useful tool.

I liked NetGalley's Social Media Handbook because it gave me some more insight into writing reviews in the different platforms. It has always bothered me that I was simply cutting and pasting my reviews in Goodreads and NetGalley. I know from having my own blog that this practice is frowned by Google.

The thought of my own website, overwhelmed me. Now that I understand that I can write for each platform inspires me to move ahead and get more followers.

The book needs to explain how to get a social media following. It only says not to follow to many people. That is understandable but pleas inform us how to get followers.

More examples of book reviews would be helpful and the list of 20 websites needs to be updated.

This is helpful, thank you! Adding more information here to get to the character limit - what ARE we supposed to be putting here?

This guide was really useful to me.
Even though I have reviewed for 6 months, I still consider myself new at the 'game'.

For me, what I needed the most was the promoting of reviews and content planning as I usually just post my reviews and nothing else.

Thank you for this great guide, I will read it again and again for reference.
