This is a great refresher for those of us who use social media somewhat regularly. It helped me take my social to the "new level" it advertises. Thanks, NetGalley!!

Informative and to the point. Explaining the benefits and uses of each social media platform, what equipment you need to start posting there, and best practices, dos and don’ts, and suggestions for content on each platform.
It’s clear, concise, and to the point.

This is a great resource for social media users to keep in their back pocket! I love that it is regularly updated- platforms and algorithms are constantly evolving. Give this handbook a try if you’re looking for tips to improve your platforms, or if you’d like to see the pros and cons on using different social media platforms. It’s laid out nicely and is a quick, easy read!

This was such a helpful handbook! I post most of my book content on Instagram and have been considering starting a TikTok account and this gave some great information.

An excellent and comprehensive guide to reviewing on social media including BookTube, Bookstagram, blogs and Substack. The guide is very visual and very helpful especially for new reviewers. Having reviewed books for a while I still found lots of gems on here, in particular in relation to BookTube which is a platform that I am considering. Very helpful.. Thank you NETGALLEY.

A ton of useful knowledge! I love the ideas about using Canva for e-reader and audiobook images. The hashtag ideas I think are great for both my business account and my book reviewing account. Thank you for the helpful information.

These toolkits and handbooks are extremely helpful, especially since social media algorithms can make engagement and visibility more challenging. This handbook mentions many strategies that I wasn't aware of, and they've inspired me to reconsider the direction I want to take my platforms next year. Watch this space!
