A great tool for people starting in social media or even those who sometimes feel a little bit stuck on moving forward. It has some great tips on writing reviews and has given me a few ideas for my own socials.

An informative guide to working with books on social media. There are some great tips on there for different platforms such as Instagram, TikTok or content blogs and tips for how to get started, best practice and some do's and don'ts. A fast read but an important one for those who want to succeed on social media platforms.

Another great guide from We Are Bookish! It includes super helpful tips, tricks, and advice for someone that’s just starting out on their social media journey. I will definitely be referencing it once I start my Bookstagram. The only thing I don’t care for is the design. It looks outdated and could really use a refresh.

This resource is great for those new to the social media world of books and an excellent reminder for the more seasoned users. I can see myself reviewing this guide whenever I feel stale and need to brainstorm ways to innovate my Instagram page. Regardless of your social media platform, this guide has tips to help you develop and grow. I'm glad I downloaded it!

As a social media newbie, this handbook is a great starting place as I begin to navigate how to gain a following!

Very helpful in getting the most out of my NetGalley experience. I did not have my profile setup properly which kept me from being approved for ARCs. This helped me make the necessary changes to my profile and learn about social media options.

Thank you so much NetGalley for the Social Media Handbook! This is a great resource to help spread the word about our favorite reads to our audience.

A very nice and succinct guide from NetGalley on how to kickstart you reviewing account(s) and how to improve your existing ones!
I can’t wait to try and implement the suggestions from this guide!

Very good and informative - doesn't even matter if you are a professional reader/reviewer, you'll learn new things!

Another great reference tool from NetGalley. I really wish I would have found this guide prior to requesting my first books but sometimes we have to start ugly vs not starting at all. This guide breaks everything down into simple easy to follow steps and I feel much more prepared to establish my social media presence now.

A pretty good guide with lots of interesting information about how to have a new approach to social media. I learned a lot of things with it.

I loved that this guide had tailored tips for each kind of social media platform. I think the hardest thing I’ve encountered with reviews is adapting reviews for platforms, so I found these tips particularly helpful. This guide gave me a lot to think about out for what I want my social media to look like, and I now feel rejuvenated and motivated to improve my accounts.

Another fantastic guide from We are Bookish and NetGalley. This is a great beginners guide for anyone new to NetGalley and the online bookish space. These guides are accessible and informative and I'm sure everyone can take at least one thing away with them - even seasoned professionals.

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)
"NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook" is like having a social media mentor who’s not only super smart but also knows exactly how to explain things without making you feel like an idiot. If you’re learning how to use new platforms (like me), this book is like a lifeline thrown into the sea of hashtags, posts, and "engagement strategies" that often feel more confusing than helpful.
It’s packed with easy-to-follow advice that doesn’t assume you’re already an influencer with millions of followers (thank goodness). Whether you’re figuring out how to tweet about your latest review or trying to make Instagram your new best friend, this handbook is both practical and refreshing. It doesn’t overload you with unnecessary fluff, just straightforward tips that actually work.
Five stars from me, because it’s exactly what you need if you're serious about getting your book reviews out there in the world without feeling overwhelmed. If you're trying to build a presence on social media, this is the book that makes it all a little less scary.

Offers concise advice on getting started with different platforms and how to create and tag content for each of them. I could have done with more tips on organization but as good as this is, I can't expect it to fix all my issues.

Fab and so useful! Was very quick and easy to read with lots of valuable tips to make your social media presence as impactful as possible.

I have read this. Thanks. Now just trying to clear it from my shelf so it doesn’t affect my rating percentage.

This is an extensive guide for readers wanting to get involved with various social media platforms - Instagram, TikTok, Goodreads, you name it! Not only does it focus on how to weave social media with Netgalley, but it also gives tips to improve your content, boost engagement, and stay organized.
As a new bookstagrammer, I found this very helpful! Based on the handbook's range, even an old pro would be able to pick up some helpful advice. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to get involved within the community, as this is the perfect place to start!

A very good and practical concept.
Easy to fill out.
I’’ve enjoyed the tracking of my reads, and the social media advice..

This is a great social media guide for those who are just getting started. It has lots of great tips. I especially loved the sections on Canva and taking photos!
