A really good guide on social media presence when it comes to book blogging. I will implement some of the tips for my own instagram account.

I appreciated the effort and detail put into creating this informative piece. It was very helpful in understanding the process of working on ARC’s in social media and the goals of Netgalley.

I will definitely keep referring to it & recommend it to all new Net Galley Reviews

Standing out online as a book reviewer can be intimidating. Success needs a clearly laid out strategy. This is what Net Galley has provided in a helpful, clearly laid out guide which outlines how book bloggers can best advance their presence. A great and easy-to-understand resource. Definitely recommend.

This could be a good refresher course for any book blog on instagram, YouTube, X, TikTok or goodreads. Thank you NetGalley for this wonderful handbook! Going to start using Canva from now on :)

A solid and pragmatic manual that offers a clear perspective on book communication through social media. "NetGalley's Social Media Handbook" stands out for its ability to provide practical and immediately applicable advice.
The main strength is its accessibility. The guide manages to explain potentially complex concepts clearly and directly, addressing both beginners and experienced users. The platform-specific advice is particularly valuable, as are the suggestions on creating authentic content.
Positive aspects:

The manual goes beyond simple promotion, offering a perspective on building a reading community. It's not revolutionary, but certainly useful for those looking to improve their online presence in the book world.

It gives checklists, dos and don'ts, and ideas to create your content. Thank you NetGalley! I appreciate the thoughtfulness put into this guide.

This has been very helpful to a new booktok personal like myself. Lots of tips and handy notes and suggestions.
Thank you so much.

Good resource especially if you are just getting started-lots of helpful information and ideas on utilizing different social media platforms. I like the colorful setup and the way they used infographic design so I could just flip through and immediately see exactly what I was looking for.

Very helpful handbook. Thank you NetGalley for providing this information. I enjoyed reading it. NetGalley is very helpful in providing resources for users.

I recently had a tiny burnout in dealing with social media (and life in general), and this book helped me to remember what's important. Like a textbook on basix things that matter, I love that there are basic knowledge for everything related to social media for bookish, but not too detailed like all the social media guru. A very helpful guide to come back to, whenever overthinking hits.

As someone still relatively new to bookstagram, this handbook is super helpful for me!
35 pages of tips and tricks for all social media accounts, including photo, review and hashtag tips to fully maximize your social media experience.
I saved this PDF to my home screen and will absolutely be referencing it!
Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish!

NetGalley's Social Media Handbook by We Are Bookish is different than I expected. It is a shorter publication, and more of a handbook. It has hyperlinks included in the digital copy which was a little more confusing for me. I wasn't sure what to think of this resource, but it did offer insight for building a better online presence.
