TikTok Rises Sales of Books
Book Sales Increase With Help From TikTok.
March 4, 2022
TikTok has taken the world by storm, from a dog that could predict how a day would go, to a twenty year old girl dancing, but most of all TikTok content has boosted the book industry.
According to NBC news, in August of 2020, videos started coming out of people promoting their favorite books. With the easy way people can see other peoples thoughts on books at a click of a phone , it has made it so that small stores and big chains could boost sales.
Some of these books include: It Ends with Us, Six of Crows a duology ( two book series), A Court of Thorns and Roses, and They Both Die At The End. These books are what made this side of TikTok popular.
When a click on a video can make a person want to read a book, just shows how far our world has come. When a Tik Toker makes a video talking about how she loved ‘It Ends With Us’, it makes the person wants to read it as well. Kids and teens don’t see the hard struggle of early 2010’s, having to search for a new series of books, talking to bookstore employees for help but,nowadays popular TikTokers or Youtubers can help. However, this can give a bookworm’s family ideas for holidays or book slumps, which can make life an easy read.
If a simple walk to Barnes and Noble shows anything, BookTok will help more small and large authors and stores boost sales. This is just the beginning of a huge surge of book pride.
