How do I promote my documents?

Updated yesterday

More sales start with more visibility. By actively promoting your documents, you reach students who can truly benefit from your summaries. And it really doesn’t have to be complicated.

Promoting via social media

Social media is perfect for reaching more students. You can share a link to your entire Stuvia profile, or to a specific document you want to push.

How to quickly share via Stuvia:

  1. Go to Uploads in your Stuvia account

  2. Click the three dots next to the document you want to promote

  3. Choose Promote and share directly via social media

Or share manually where your fellow students are:

  • WhatsApp groups for your study program

  • Instagram Stories or posts

  • Relevant Facebook groups

  • LinkedIn (especially useful for professional subjects)

  • Discord channels where your fellow students are active

Make your post appealing: Add a short description and explain why your summary helps. For example: “Complete summary Introduction to Psychology with all lectures + sample questions.” This attracts attention faster than just a link.

Timing is everything: Promote strategically. Post just before exams or deadlines, when students are actively looking for good summaries.

Give your documents a professional look

Students are more likely to choose documents that look polished. A few small adjustments can already make a big difference:

  • Add a logo to your documents for recognizability

  • Ensure a clear structure and formatting

  • Use professional preview pages that showcase your content well
