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.

I'm getting back into doing reviews and wanted to start up my social accounts again. The last time I felt overwhelmed. This handbook was really helpful in organizing my thoughts and what direction I should start. Filled with actionable tips for all platforms, I'm starting to think about doing a YouTube channel as well. As the handbook mentioned, I'm going to start slow with TikTok and Instagram. I'm excited to update my bios and start posting again!

Thank you NetGalley.

I really enjoy these handbooks full of helpful information in succinct and sensible pages. The graphics are well-done and make it easy to read and understand. I've been doing this almost a year so I'm neither brand new nor very experienced, but still found lots of information that I'll be referring back to and will utilize as I begin my journey of creating my own book account on Instagram. I currently review in many places on social media but plan to branch out to a more personalized platform soon. Thanks to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for another great tool!
