What should authors post on Instagram? | 12 BOOK PROMO IDEAS

What should authors post on social media? If you have no idea what to post on your Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, no worries! Nobody else knows either. Here are twelve ideas for promotional book posts for writers.

The example posts that I didn't make myself are from these pals:

I always describe The Saviors Champion by Jenna Moreci as The Bachelor meets Gladiators.

Very excited to rewatch this at some point in the future when I'm actually establishing a platform and have a book close enough to release to do these things
(But seriously good, helpful video as always)

Love the ideas on this video, I have written a fantasy series, and the first novel will be released in a few months.

Starting a social media manager internship with a children's book author. Thank you for this

Just graduated as an English Major. Thank you so much for the tips and help, I love this channel I’m glad I found it ! 😭

Great video, Hannah! As soon as you said "The Bachelorette", my mind went "The Selection by Kiera Cass" and I had flashbacks to 2014 BookTube videos (I think "We Were Liars" by E. Lockhart was that era too). I like how I can recognise how you used some of these social media ideas for your own books, but your posts always felt really natural and well-judged so they never became repetitive hype background noise

I've written four books in the last two years and have been struggling with social media. I'm glad I found this video! Now that I've learned new ways to market my adult fantasy book Save Our King I'm a lot more confident in myself. Thank you!

I find that my behind-the-scenes posts do a lot better than any of the other forms you mentioned.

Thank you, Hannah. Great information!

[barbaraferrier]

Thank you. I have an Instagram for life as a digital nomad (with all the cool old castles that inspire my epic fantasy). Lots of great ideas here to add to my book posts here. Thank you for that.

[NathaliaCroft]

This is, hands down, the most useful video about this subject I've seen so far. Thank you ❤

[davidcolgan]
