This is such a useful resource for starting up a book related content account! I wish I had something like this when I was just starting on Booksta

This was a great tool for new and old Netgalley users! I don’t use some of the platforms because, well… I’m old and a teacher so I don’t want any media out there that my students can see!
Thank you to We Are Bookish and Netgalley for this guide!

“NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook” by We Are Bookish is a practical guide for improving book promotion on social media. It offers useful tips on using various platforms like Instagram and Twitter effectively. The advice is straightforward and easy to follow, making it suitable for both beginners and those looking to enhance their strategy. While it provides helpful insights, it might not offer much new information for experienced users. Overall, it’s a decent resource for anyone interested in improving their social media presence.in the book review sphere.

A nicely done guide book on the media, however I would have expected more.

Perhaps because the content was not anything new, but the information you get from this guide is quite universal and basically what you learn right away when starting to use different medias!

Still nice for those who consider starting to use them!

This was good basic information for someone who is just starting out on social media. It wasn’t anything new or earth shattering- but good solid advice.

I just started using social media, mainly Instagram, to post reviews of books in September of 2024. I honestly had no idea what I was doing and kept wondering why I wasn't making any progress in terms of my follower count. This handbook, while short, is incredibly informative and easy to follow. The graphics summarize everything in a concise way, and I really appreciate that I can get all the information at a glance. I am excited to use the advice and tips mentioned in order to grow my account!

For someone who is just starting out in the bookish social media world, this is a really good resource! I felt that the information was a tad redundant if you are following a bunch of bookish accounts and also get Netgalley's newsletter as much of the information is the same. That being said, having the information in one spot is helpful!

This is an excellent guidebook. I really wish I had this in the beginning of my journey with Netgalley. I recommend this if you've been thinking about starting using Netgalley.

Thank you NetGalley for this great resource! This is going to help with my bookstagram and reviews so much. I have never bookmarked so many pages. I love all the links to your blog posts with even more information. I can’t wait to plan out growing my platforms.

This Handbook had lots of useful information that I think can be very beneficial to someone just getting into book reviewing or who simply wants to start up their own bookish social media account, myself definitely included!

for those just starting their blogging journey.

Didn't read much new information, but a good starting point if you're pretty new to the social media thing in general!

This is an invaluable asset for anyone who reviews books. I’ve enjoyed reading and reviewing for some years but never had any formal guidance. I just write as I feel and hope my thoughts will help other potential buyers. This reference guide helps you to structure your thoughts and it’s also designed to ensure you get the widest audience from a wide range of social media platforms. I don’t use many social media sites, but this book has encouraged me to consider adding a couple for the purpose of posting reviews. I feel confident I’ll be able to maximise the potential. A really useful guide for newbie and seasoned reviewer alike.
