I found this guide to be infomrative without providing a lot of complicated and unnecessary information, This is a great resource for someone who is just starting to use social media as it provides an overview of platforms and useful tools. However, it may not be as helpful to someone who already has basic knowledge of social media.

I found this guide to be surprisingly useful! It offers tips and tricks across multiple platforms, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their skills. I picked up a few new ideas from reading this guide. Worth taking a look.

I love the new guide! After trying (and failing) to start a successful Bookstagram, I’m excited to use the techniques in this guide to give it another shot. I really appreciate all the support NetGalley offers to help beginners like me learn how to navigate their website, promote ourselves, write better reviews, and ultimately become more successful in getting approved for ARCs! Keep them coming!

This didn't provide anything of note. Just the same general advice already lobbed around about algorithms. The thing is, social media algorithms change so much that there's little point in ever making a guide. Also, this focuses less on authenticity and more on being a very standard blogger.

Great overview. This is high level and would be helpful for people new to the book review social media space.

This was such a useful guide! As someone who already uses bookstagram to share reviews, it was great to get more tips on how to improve my posts and encourage engagement. Will definitely be trying a few new things soon! This is a great tool and I am sure I will refer back to it regularly.

Ahhh this is such a useful and helpful guide! As someone who works in publishing (be it a small independent publishers) we are a very small team and this extra guidance on how to use social media is really good. There were definitely some tips and tricks I did not know about and look forward to using going forward. The fact that NetGalley put this together to help reviewers with their social content is 10/10!

Thank you so much for continuing with these guides - they really are appreciated!

This is a fairly comprehensive guide and should be the first point of call for those new to Bookstagram or another bookish community.

As a content creator across several platforms online I wanted to check this guide out and see if i could learn some things that would help my subs and growing each channel, this was very extensive and informative. It helped especially in social media planning and priority content posting and time scheduling

Overall a great tool to help

5 stars

Once again, NetGalley and We Are Bookish deliver a helpful and comprehensive guide, this time focusing on the use of social media platforms.

As someone experiencing burnout from posting on social media without seeing sufficient traction, I found this guide to be incredibly insightful.

That was a very informative little guide to social media :)

As someone new to posting recomendations and reviews online I'm finding it hard so far to create a platform and to upload content that looks nice and aesthetic like what I see on Instagram and Tiktok. I don't know why I never thought about using Canva until I read this guide but I would really like to thank you for reminding me of it. Finally my posts will start looking prettier. I hope it helps make my content reach a bigger audience.

I loved the breakdown of all the social media platforms and what makes them different from each other. The Do's and Don'ts and general tips for growing a social media following are also super helpful. Thank you!

What a great resource!! I’ve had bookstagram for years, so I didn’t go into it thinking I’d learn much but I even learned a few tips, and the guide has me thinking about ways I can tweak my profile and reviews to be more professional and hook my audience!

I really appreciated and liked the other SM platform overviews and I learned a lot. Hope this resource stays available on here as I wasn’t able to download it.
