If you have been on bookstagram for a while. Like more than a couple weeks, what content do you find gets you more engagment?

Soooooo I want to make better content on both booktok and booksta. I know I'll have to make different content for both. But I don't have an idea of how to make a schedule. Does the schedule have to be the same every week or can topics be done on different days.

Example

Instead of: Mondays book review Tuesday bestie video etc

Can the schedule be done on different days?

I'm lost and I am trying to take it more serious but I'm still under 200 views on booktok and have no idea how to be aesthetic on booksta.

Any help with be amazing

Yes i have bought a lot of books this month. Even though I was supposed to be on a book buying ban. My uncles 1 year passing anniversary was in May and I went crazy buying books.

I've heard of book reading slump but has anyone ever experienced a book buying slump?

Where you just aren't in the mood to buy books unless you see one you want.

I'm not the best at making content. Sometimes I think people are booktok only follow me because of the book in my name.

​

But I'm tired of embarrassing myself or at least feeling embarrassed on both of these apps I want to make better content and I just I don't know where to start. Some of the stuff that gets discussed are things that I'm not able to do at the moment.

​

I just need help because I don't want to feel discouraged or embarrassed anymore anytime I log on to do that

I was told to put my number in to get a code to verify my account. The code never came. I hit the button a few times and now locked out for 24 hrs and suspended.

I was given until December to appeal but I can't find a way to appeal it.

I'm an android user

I created my account back when I first made my booktok account. I'm not the most aesthetic person, so I never thought I'd do good on book bookstagram.

I want to talk 6 my writing journey eve if it's only to keep me in check. I am hoping one day to be published, but I'm not trying to be famous. I want to meet new people, support indie authors, and encourage people to keep writing while encouraging myself...

I have no idea what I'm doing. I hate winging it. What are the best tips to be successful on bookstagram?

Thank you.

Hello!

I have been posting book content on booktok since Jan 8th, 2026. I have around 2,100 followers. I created my account to build a community and talk about books. Also, I am also a writer. I wanted to post about my writing journey while also meeting new people.

I had taken a small break from content creation for about a month, only posting a couple of times a week. But now I want to get back at it. I post once a day. I do not have a schedule. I get roughly between 150 to 300 views.

At this point, I want comments. I want to eage with people. Support other people. I'm a huge supporter of indie authors

I have had some content that did well, and when I redid it, it wasn't as successful.

All I see is videos about how to grow a following. But I want to hear advice from real people. I need better text hooks... just hooks in general.

(I've never really put myself out here like this so even though I've been on booktok for 5 months, I still have no idea what I'm doing )

Hi!

I'll delete this if it's not allowed. I was just wondering what the difference was between posting on booksta VS. booktok?

What difference go into videos for each book app?
