barely remember even adding on Facebook

Alternatively, if you have several places you’d like to send your followers—your website, your bookstore, your blog, your other social channels, etc.—there are several great options for “link hosting.” Check out Linktree, ContactInBio, or Campsite. Platforms like Facebook, X, and Instagram let you “pin” a popular post or tweet to the top of your page so that it always appears first, even if it’s not the most recent post. Tweet about your book, including your quick one-sentence elevator pitch and buy links, and pin that to the top of your page. Social Media Do’s and Do Not’s When Promoting Your Book Don’t just post a link to your book.

Think about how you act on social media—if you were scrolling through Singapore Email List your feed and you saw a post that was just “Check out my book:” with a long, unwieldy link from someone you met once at a neighbor’s barbecue eight years ago and … would you click on that link? Guess what—your potential readers aren’t going to either. Do be conscious of what “thumbnail” image comes up when you share your book link on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Statistically, posts with a graphic have higher engagement than just text posts, so if your book link doesn’t automatically load a thumbnail image (or if you don’t like the thumbnail image that comes up) it may be helpful to have some promotional graphics on hand.



Don’t tag spam posts. You know, the kind of post that looks like this: First of all, it looks terrible. Second, most people don’t read the hashtags you’re including, so you’re now training your followers to skim over your post, which is the opposite of what you want to happen. Third, most of those “generic” book / reader hashtags are so over-saturated with content that your post will get buried under several dozen new posts seconds after you post it.
