Please do a part 2. While watching this vid, I was doing what u recommended and it worked!!! It doesn’t seem like that much but I got an extra 7 likes and 5 more followers in the space of 3 minutes by using hashtags and talking to people! I’m defo going to give ur bookstagram a follow.
Aw yay that makes me so happy!! I will definitely do a part two in the future:) yes it really does work and it's so rewarding to be involved in the community! I hope your bookstagram grows lots! Have tons of fun!
I’m about to start my bookstagram and this was so helpful! I used Instagram for personal posts and never rly followed many bookstagrams before, just booktube, so this was super super helpful
this is really useful!!! i'd kind of given up on instagram/bookstagram because the platform was giving me a headache, lol, and i love making videos for youtube. however, i do like taking pictures and i know that instagram has a lot of cool people on it, so maybe i'll give it another try. thanks for making this video!
This is great! Super helpful tips for bookstagrammers. I really like your idea of sending a DM when you follow someone. I’ve never tried that and am definitely going to. I really REALLY want booktube to grow as well. I think there’s so much potential for influence, education, and to get people into reading that weren’t before (kind of like the makeup community has done.)
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad we like-minded in the way of wanting booktube to grow, YES so many benefits of getting people into booktube and it's so FUN too!:) I can't wait to see what the future holds for booktube!:)
Thanks for all these tips! I'm really getting into it recently and I want more followers ( and more bookish people I follow other than the people I follow on booktube ) so I have more people to talk with!
@@happyreading9298 hey!! just wanted to let you know that i tagged you in my first original tag video, the booktube real talk tag! i would love to hear what you would have to say if you have time to do the tag! thanks!
Hey! I’m thinking of starting my own bookstagram account but I don’t have many friends so I only 5 followers, how to have basic number of followers to ineteract with?
(My notes on video as I watch w my thoughts added. Also I’m @jessierose.jrz.lifestyle :) 1 Community is everything- support other bookstagrams and make connections 2 Look at the followers of your favorite bookstagrams to find other pages you love and maybe shoot them a DM and share some support. Offer to collaborate! 3 HASHTAGS! They are essentially bookmarks and are helpful when you want found- aim for hashtags w between 1000-10,000 views of the tag so you dont get totally lost in the flood of tags (You can also go to posts you’ve also posted and comment your hashtags on those too-Ik it works Ive tried this one) 4 Have a theme- a color scheme or a filter to tie the pictures together or something similar. It provides a great aesthetic and ppl love the organization of it 5 Plan out your page with an Insta planner app to see where you can improve the aesthetic of your page 6 Username to tie people in (clue them in and let them know you’re a bookstagram/personal blogger/lifestyle account/ etc) 7 Post everyday (or every other) but make sure to be on a schedule 8 Get people engaged! Ask a question on your posts to get comments and a convo started with viewers! Happy reading 🙃
I started doing this and commented on a lot of peoples pictures to show support and have convos about books but then RUclips blocked me from commenting 😭 I heard this happens to new accounts :/
Lavender Reads aww yeah! I do not suggest just going and doing this to a ton of accounts, I suggest to find accounts that you really love and follow and interact with them throughout the day (not one big burst, also it's easier to keep track of connections you make when you do this slower). Get to know them and do collabs. It is harder, though, because even genuine engagement can be flagged as spam by Instagram nowadays!:(
@@happyreading9298 I know I was commenting on accounts I really liked and not even that much and still got blocked! Hopefully they lift the block soon. Thank you for replying and I loved the video it was really helpful :)
aw! Then I would just comment on people's photos, I am sorry. Normally if instagram restricts your DMs they will lift it eventually. Make sure you don't send too many at once or copy and paste the same message, the instagram algorithm will pick up on that and it will hurt your account. But comments are always good! (:
@@happyreading9298 okie roger, But rn I am just shifting to my private acc dm them there and then we all follow back. I have also followed you on ur insta. My name Iraizal_Reads I am looking forward to bookish world Again thankyou again for the tips they really help
shhitsalibrary yea, it’s tough, especially with all the different colors in all the beautiful book covers. Having a preset/filter for all the photos is the easiest way I think :) and it makes sure they all look cohesive together!
Omg, this video is just perfect for me right now, since I started a Bookstagram (@readandyread) just a few weeks ago and I have a lot to learn about that lovely community 💜. I'm beyond grateful for your super useful tips 🤩! Thank you, thank you and thank you 💫! And btw, I just discovered your Bookstagram account thanks to this video and OMG 😻! Your feed looks so, so beautiful 🌸!
Omg this video really helps I just started Bookstagram last week @books.n.beez but I also have a question I’ve seen your pictures and I don’t really have a background do you have any suggestions?
Aw yay! I'm glad you found the video helpful. You can always use a pretty blanket as your background, or a plain wall, or take photos outside. Just keep your color scheme and editing consistent and plan your feed ahead of time so that the photos look good together on your page. Hope that helps!
Kourtney Becraft you can make kindle book pictures beautiful!! I believe in you girl, if anything it’ll make you stand out. I’ll check out your account :)
@@happyreading9298 thanks and I ended up making another called FallenAngelBooks913 to make pretty and to just keep the messy one as it is and tag myself in eachother in them when I post
Thank you so much for these tips! I've been trying to get my bookstagram (@talesandlights) to grow after I took a break and hopefully these tips will help
