NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook

My rating: 3⭐️

This was a very short and quick read that provides one insight into running different social media platforms related to reading. It explained the things you should and shouldn’t do. Whilst it was insightful, simply googling will provide you with this information. Nevertheless, it is a good resource to refer to especially when first starting out.

This Social Media Handbook provides advice for book reviewers, librarians, and other bookish professionals on various platforms like Bookstagram and BookTok. It covers platform-specific tips, authentic online presence, and strategies for success, including accessibility, content creation, calendar planning, and sharing book reviews across platforms.

This was such an easy-to-read, highly graphic handbook that's perfect for anybody on a bookish social media platform. Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for a copy of this handbook in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

I was quite curious to see what this handbook might contain. I loved the format of the handbook and its simplified layout. Some of the ideas I can quickly work upon whilst others, will be for me to reflect on. I thought that it had something for everyone from the beginning to the intermediate. Definitely worth reviewing and an item to have in your toolbox.

This book I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I wish I had this handbook when I first started by bookstagram account. There wasn’t any new-to-me information in here but it would have been helpful a few years ago.

Informative and to the point. Explaining the benefits and uses of each social media platform, what equipment you need to start posting there, and best practices, dos and don’ts, and suggestions for content on each platform.
It’s clear, concise, and to the point.

This is a great resource for social media users to keep in their back pocket! I love that it is regularly updated- platforms and algorithms are constantly evolving. Give this handbook a try if you’re looking for tips to improve your platforms, or if you’d like to see the pros and cons on using different social media platforms. It’s laid out nicely and is a quick, easy read!

This was such a helpful handbook! I post most of my book content on Instagram and have been considering starting a TikTok account and this gave some great information.

An excellent and comprehensive guide to reviewing on social media including BookTube, Bookstagram, blogs and Substack. The guide is very visual and very helpful especially for new reviewers. Having reviewed books for a while I still found lots of gems on here, in particular in relation to BookTube which is a platform that I am considering. Very helpful.. Thank you NETGALLEY.

A ton of useful knowledge! I love the ideas about using Canva for e-reader and audiobook images. The hashtag ideas I think are great for both my business account and my book reviewing account. Thank you for the helpful information.
