Summer Social Media Ideas
Ready to get ahead and schedule some social media posts for this summer? Summer to me is the perfect time to schedule posts in advance so that you can enjoy lazier days, time with family, vacations, or whatever else you have planned! So plan ahead and think of fun ways to connect with your readers online. Here are some ideas to get you started.
5 Ideas for Summer Social Media
1. June- Audiobook Appreciation Month: Listening to any great audiobooks recently? Share your favorites! Snap a few pictures of your screen, headphones, or locations where you are listening to a great book.
2. June- Rainbow Book Month: June is Rainbow Book Month™, a nationwide celebration of the authors and writings that reflect the lives and experiences of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. Looking for ideas to post? You're in luck. The American Library Association has ready-to-use social media posts that you can share with your followers.
3. July 30th- Paperback Book Day: Share some photos of your favorite well-worn paperback books. Which ones do you return to time and time again? Have you discovered a new favorite this summer? Share with us!
4. August 9th- National Book Lover's Day: The sky's the limit on what you can share for this event! Your favorite place to read? A photo of your bookshelf? A selfie in the stacks of the library? How about all of the above? Get creative and share your love of books.
5. Best Vacation Reads: All summer long you can share your recommendations for thrillers, romance, YA, historical fiction, or whatever has you giving out 5-star reviews. Your fellow book lovers will appreciate seeing your reading list!
Taking time to plan my social media posts in advance always helps me feel a little more focused and prepared going into the months ahead. Whatever you decide to post this summer, have fun with it!
