Where You Should Post Your Book Reel
Don’t just post in one place — post everywhere. Each platform has its own audience and algorithm.
1. Instagram (MOST IMPORTANT)
- Post as Reel
- Share to:
- Feed
- Story
- Optional: Add to Highlights (e.g., “My Book”)
👉 Bonus:
- Reels can reach 10x–100x your followers
2. TikTok (BookTok 🔥)
- Post as a normal TikTok video
- Use hashtags like:
- #BookTok
- #BookRecommendation
- #AuthorLife
- #MustRead
👉 TikTok is where books go viral fast.
3. YouTube Shorts
- Upload as a Short
- Title example:
- “This book will stay with you forever…”
👉 YouTube can push your video for weeks or months.
4. Facebook
- Post as:
- Reel
- Story
- Regular video post
👉 Facebook still has strong reach, especially for older audiences.
5. Pinterest (Underrated)
- Upload as a Video Pin
- Add:
- Book cover
- Keywords
👉 Pinterest content can bring traffic for months.
6. Twitter / X
- Upload video directly
- Add a short hook:
- “This story broke me…”
7. LinkedIn (Optional but Powerful)
- Especially useful for:
- Non-fiction authors
- Personal stories / memoirs
IMPORTANT: You Have 2 Reel Versions
We give you:
- ✅ With music
- ✅ Without music
Here’s how to use them strategically:
Version 1: WITH Music (Easy Mode)
- Just upload directly anywhere
- No editing needed
👉 Best for:
- Quick posting
- Non-tech users
Version 2: WITHOUT Music (VIRAL MODE)
This is where real growth happens.
Why?
Platforms like Instagram & TikTok boost videos using their own trending audio.
