Avoid Those "Spinach-Caught-In-Your Teeth" Kinds of Mistakes...,
This review is from: How to Make Money with Social Media: An Insider's Guide on Using New and Emerging Media to Grow Your Business (Hardcover)
If you're a an entrepreneur that regularly follows Guy Kawasaki or Perry Marshall's missives on Google search and email marketing, you'll want to read this book ASAP. Turner and Shah place social media strategies and platforms in context so that you avoid those "spinach caught in your teeth" kinds of mistakes non-net-natives (like me) tend to make. They also offer plenty of practical tips for fine-tuning efforts on the major platforms, tracking online conversations and dissecting what the competition is doing. It's one of those books you'll refer to over and over again. Especially Chapter 11, How to Use Promoting Platforms to Help you Grow Your Sales and Revenues".That said, the book is peppered with valuable case studies featuring many impressive Fortune 500 companies. I would have liked more case studies featuring start-ups and smaller companies like ours -- those that have to keep a remorseless eye on the time and effort involved with all social media efforts...

Best Social Media Guide Available,
This review is from: How to Make Money with Social Media: An Insider's Guide on Using New and Emerging Media to Grow Your Business (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've read many social media books, and this is one of the only ones that cuts through the hype. It views social media through the existing advertising and marketing landscape and gives reasons why companies should--and shouldn't--use it. A great overview of a constantly evolving landscape.My ONLY quarrel is with the title. It *is* about using new and emerging media to grow your business, but "How to Make Money with Social Media" sounds like a spammers' tagline on Twitter. |
