Good resource for someone just starting out as a bookish content creator...I mostly focused on the bookstagram tips to see if there was anything else that could help me. Thank you for the information.

It’s not just a great resource for beginners who are about to dive into the world of book reviewing—it’s also incredibly useful for authors who want to understand how social media works and how to connect with their audience.

This was super helpful with hints and tips on how best to review and keep socials up to date. I found it really useful that there were separate sections for each social platform as well as for tools such as Canva.

Helpful starter for anyone creating reviews on a variety of platforms, some of which was a bit repetitive

This was a helpful introduction to being a NetGalley reviewer. I found the social media guidance to be fairly basic for me personally, not incredibly helpful, but I could see it being helpful to those who are new to social media.

Book lovers who want to share their reading with others have a myriad of choices these days, from blogs to YouTube to the ever-changing range of social media sites, and it can be hard to know where to start. Or which site would work best if you want to expand your reach. Never fear - NetGalley has a resource to help you get started.

This colorful, easy to follow guide to social media gives an overview of the platforms available to readers. It includes equipment needed and guidelines to get started quickly, and shows the user how to tailor their content to each site. There are links to click on for further information, which allows the reader to not be overwhelmed with details they don't need. I particularly appreciated the ideas on how to use what you've created for one platform in other places across the internet. There's no need to start from the beginning each time you post on a new site!

For anyone considering expanding into new media horizons but not sure where to go or how to begin, this simple guide will point you in the right direction. It never hurts to try new things, and your next venture may be in here, just waiting for you to start.

Extremely useful will definitely be referring back to these tips when using social media for book related things, and potentially even just social media in general as the tips can definitely be applied in other scenarios
