This is a great guide to getting started on multiple platforms with NetGalley. Things seem to change daily on social media so this is a great way to keep up. My main advice is do what works best for you and don’t try to do everything all at once.

NetGalley has created the perfect guide to getting you started as a book influencer! This handbook walks you through how to create the perfect profile for your account and how to curate posts on different platforms - Instagram, YouTube, and more. I think anyone looking to up their social media game would find this helpful!

A great guide for anyone looking to get into social media or up their social game! This guide takes what can be pretty overwhelming concepts and breaks it down into easily navigable text and steps.

Very helpful! Love that this includes ways to improve your reach and content. I found the hashtag vs tagging section particularly helpful.

This is a great social media primer, especially for someone like me who is still an "amateur" NetGalley reviewer and also a "geriatric millennial" who stopped learning new platforms after Instagram. I wish I had some of this advice when I first starting out, but I will incorporate what I can now. Thank you NetGalley for compiling this.

Interesting read will be good to refer back to.
Great for those just beginning their Netgalley journey giving some fantastic hints, tips and ideas on how to set your socials up such as Instagram, a blog or tik tok.
I could have done with all these hints, tips and guidelines in guide books like this one and others when I was first starting up. I certainly wouldn't have requested so many books at once but then when I started off there was no read & reviewed %
It's a shame you can't start afresh or at least wipe some backlog out somehow for those like myself who were kind of blundering through the process alone.
So yes this book and other similar ones are a fantastic idea, even if some of that fabulous advice is too late for me!
I think this us a guide I would refer back to a well.

Another good resource available to anyone who wishes to get started as a book advocate. This one specifically focuses on social media.

Thank you to Netgalley's editorial blog We Are Bookish for providing this free and helpful guide.

This is such a useful handbook! 35 pages of tips for a variety of platforms which I wish I had had when I first started my bookstagram journey. I love that this provides some detailed tips for amateur and professional reviewers as well as general social media etiquette within our community that so many people seem to forget

I really like these books/booklets produced by NetGalley. The design is fab and something like this is really useful for both reviewers old and new.

This is a pretty basic guide to using social media to promote your book reviews. If you know anything about social media, there probably won’t be very much here that is new to you. That said, some of the content may serve as a useful reminder for existing social media users, and this short ebook could be useful for people just getting started.

This is the resource I've been wishing I had, and I'm glad it's available through NetGalley. People who want to learn more about reviewing books can learn the basics for every platform. I've been wanting to check out more ways to share, and this will help.
