A well meaning book, this handbook offers advice that is, to put it simply, common sense. For that reason, anyone who has been for any amount of time on any platform will probably find the advice redundant. Another downside is that social media platforms change their tricks and algorithms so often that the information on how to become viral will soon become irrelevant.

Eh. It'd be a great how to if you knew NOTHING of social media and trying to create content for the first time.
But I don't think it's worth it. Not for me anyway. Others might find it really useful, who knows?

A really cute social media guide, with a really cute design. Most of the tips are obvious, but some I actually found useful!

NetGalley’s Social Media handbook gives you all the specifics fix details you’ll need to build a successful book review social media account. Visually appealing. Clear guidance. A must have in your tart up toolkit.

A handy tool for book reviewers whichever platform they use, “NetGalley’s Social Media Handbook” has handy tips and reminders for the newbie and the seasoned influencer. I appreciated that ‘We Are Bookish’ broke down social media strategies by the platform which I found useful even though I only use two of the platforms. In fact, it made me more interested in a couple. The book also includes useful links to other articles previously blogged by “We Are Bookish” which are very helpful. It’s handy having these resources together in one easy to read book that I think will be appreciated by the bookish community.

Netgalley's Social Media Handbook by We Are Bookish is such a good handbookk. Love this thank you. I will put quite a bit of these items into practice immediately.

This is such a helpful guide for anyone looking to start a bookish social media account! I wish this had been available when I first got started! I was aware of most of the tips, but there are so many extra links and articles that I’m sure I’ll learn more as I continue exploring! I’ve never used Twitter/X so reading about how it’s been used for live reactions while reading sounds like something that could be done on Threads and is a great suggestion.

This is a direct guide on how to utilize social media as a book creator in every facet.
Even though I’ve been creating content for a year this was a great refreshing guide with valuable tips. I will definitely be referencing this as I continue to create content and review books to increase my engagement with my community and publishers.
Thank you NetGalley for this incredible resource.
