I liked NetGalley's Social Media Handbook because it gave me some more insight into writing reviews in the different platforms. It has always bothered me that I was simply cutting and pasting my reviews in Goodreads and NetGalley. I know from having my own blog that this practice is frowned by Google.
The thought of my own website, overwhelmed me. Now that I understand that I can write for each platform inspires me to move ahead and get more followers.
The book needs to explain how to get a social media following. It only says not to follow to many people. That is understandable but pleas inform us how to get followers.
More examples of book reviews would be helpful and the list of 20 websites needs to be updated.

Handy guide - great for beginners and a good refresh for those who've been using the platforms for years.

Great ideas contained within a simple book to enable people to up their social media presence. Thank you

Thank you for this. Very helpful as someone relatively new to having much of a social media presence.

I was searching the internet for tips before I came across this guide. It's so helpful on how to be intentional when posting online.

This is a nice guide for those new to social media and reviewing books. I especially like the section on photo tips. Each page has a nice layout that is easy to read; this guide is designed to easily find what you're looking for, making it a good reference.

This was very insightful and helpful for navigating social media. I appreciated the graphics and the breakdown for what works best across the different platforms

A handy guide for anyone who is just getting started on Netgalley or Bookstagram! I liked the do's and don't sections regarding reviews especially!

This was so helpful! Thank you so much to the NetGalley team for putting this together. It's nice to have all of this information in one place that I can keep going back to,

This is helpful, thank you! Adding more information here to get to the character limit - what ARE we supposed to be putting here?

This guide was really useful to me.
Even though I have reviewed for 6 months, I still consider myself new at the 'game'.
For me, what I needed the most was the promoting of reviews and content planning as I usually just post my reviews and nothing else.
Thank you for this great guide, I will read it again and again for reference.

This is so helpful, i've been struggling with getting new arc lately and i know i need to up my game so this comes really handy, thank you!

It was very informative and presented in a way that was easy to digest. I appreciate all the tips for a fledgling bookstagrammer/book reviewer such as myself. Thank you for the tips and strategies I will be using on my future posts.

Great resource for help for posting reviews with tips and tricks. This gives you all the tools you need to start if you’re new to social media.

I'm getting back into doing reviews and wanted to start up my social accounts again. The last time I felt overwhelmed. This handbook was really helpful in organizing my thoughts and what direction I should start. Filled with actionable tips for all platforms, I'm starting to think about doing a YouTube channel as well. As the handbook mentioned, I'm going to start slow with TikTok and Instagram. I'm excited to update my bios and start posting again!
Thank you NetGalley.
