Really useful guide that I will keep coming back to as I start building my Instagram and YouTube account's. It will also be helpful if I decided to start posting to Booktok in the future.

What a great introduction guide to bookish social media. I do wish they had included a section about Fable. I think that book site is really going to takeoff. The guide has very basic tips, but it’s a great way to get started. The graphics are clear and easy to read.

This was quite a useful and helpful guide. I'm a bookstagrammer, and there are a lot many things I learnt from this. For every book influencer out there, you must read this. To the ones who curated such fine content, thank you!

I’ve been on Bookstagram for a while and hoped to find some helpful tips to reignite engagement, which I have found to be dwindling a little bit recently. While a lot of the tips are for those just starting out, there were also lots of helpful insights for writing reviews and even pointers to be more mindful of accessibility (I had no idea font generators were inaccessible for screen readers… I won’t be using them anymore). All in all, a helpful resource that I will be returning to when I need some guidance. Thanks so much!

This is a really good guide to social media. I love the design of the book and how it points out just what's really important to know and consider.

As someone with multiple book accounts I found this incredibly helpful. Especially the best way to use one review on different platforms.

This is a very good basic guide to social media reviews. While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, it gives readers key advice to start on various social media platforms and encourages them to work with what they have. High-end cameras and expensive props are not mandatory. There are also links to expanded content on the web to help readers further in case they are interested in exploring specific social media platforms a bit more. Finally, the advice about accessibility is very straightforward and easy to keep in mind. Basic accessibility may be obvious if you've read about it before of if it was covered in one of your high school or uni classes, but there are many people who have never heard of it, so it was good that there was a chapter focused on this topic.

This is very helpful for those starting to use social media platforms for their book content. I really liked the Dos and Don’ts pages where they give advice on what the right things to post regarding arcs.

It's a quick and easy read that covers a lot.
The pages are simple with only important text, the layout and colours don't hurt your eyes. A great intro to starting your Bookish brand online.
I think it could use a bit more about finding your own personal brand and more resources if needed, but a great start nonetheless.
