    Social Media Bible Gets You In to Social Media Marketing

    Ron's book, The Social Media Bible, came along at just the right time. I'm working in marketing in a new start up company. Our goal is to maximize our marketing budget and establish our brand on an international level. Using the Social Media Bible as a "How To" guide we were able to improve existing programs and initiate programs that we hadn't thought about. I encountered one problem, emailed Ron, and got a quick response that helped me better understand what I needed to do. Ya gotta love the power of the internet and social media! Ron's book was the right tool at the right time, I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to take advantage of internet marketing opportunities.

    A Must have for the common man

    If you're very social media savy, this may not be the book for you, but if you're the average person, it's time you got this book. I am skeptical of looking for this type of information on the internet because I never know the source. Are they biased? I know this book is not. It's a resource tool. The first week I had it, someone inivited me to join their LinkedIn account. I didn't know if it was something I wanted to get involved with. When I looked it up in TSMB I found it was something I definitely should be involved with. I believe this book has already paid for itself.

    Social Media Bible, your social media reference.

    The Social Media Bible book authored by Lon Safko and David Brake is an insightful book to get familiar with social media. I find this book practical, useful reference for newcomers such as myself, it's an extensive resource that discusses every aspect of social media.

    Lon and David did a great job identifying what kind of things I need to know about social media. This book is part reference work, part "how-to" manual, and part business strategy book. The authors attempted to provide the readers basic vocabulary for understanding social media. They also present readers tactical perspective on how various social media tools are used. I learned more about the functions of social media and I was able to explore applications associated with them in more detail. I found out that the best way to promote my dormitory business is through video blogging. Compared to traditional text and graphics based blogs, video blogs provide better facilities to present anything in a more interactive way. Using video blogs, I can describe the uniqueness and specialty of my dormitory amenities and connect better with my customers. I can simply post the video in Youtube. People can comment and provide their opinion over the video which may be helpful inputs for me to improve my products and services.
    The book is well organized and well written. It is divided into three parts. The first part of the book gives you a solid foundation on what social media is all about. The second part of the book presents social media categories such as aggregators, video and publish to name a few. I find these categories beneficial in my dormitory business. In any business, it is important for an entrepreneur to know what your target market is saying about a particular product, service or brand. I learned from the book that I can use aggregators to capture market intelligence. The authors even suggested some aggregator tools that I can use. This part of the book also covers quick rundown of the features and functions of the tools that should become part of your social media strategy. The last part presents the strategy for your business. The book explain the four pillars of Social Media Strategy, this particular chapter is my favorite because it argues how a social media strategy should have goals of communication, collaboration, education, and entertainment. In this chapter, I had a better understanding on how to communicate with my target audience. I also learned that with some social media tools, I can measure things that eventually translate into something in my company profit and loss statement. Some of the chapters contain "Expert Insight" This portion is where experts share their insights, offering some tips and advice on their respective area. The book also allows free downloads by going to their website www.TheSocialMediaBibile.com. I downloaded The social Media Awareness index from the website and I find this index practical. Basically it was designed to assess my own personal use of social media tools and how I can use these tools in my business.
    There are some areas where the authors can improve this book. First, there should be more illustrations, pictures, graph models, and charts and all should be in colored. Second, the book has too much historical information about the origin of the ipod, internet to name a few It would be better if the authors went straight to the point.
    Overall, I strongly recommend The Social Media Bible as a soc

    Comprehensive guidebook to online social media

    Do you tweet or troll? Lurk or plurk? Do you have Facebook friends or a LinkedIn list? Are you a virtual world resident with a beguiling or scary avatar?

What is your favorite wiki beyond Wikipedia? Like it or not, it is increasingly difficult to function in today's technology-obsessed world without becoming an Internet geek. You need to know how to get the most out of the Web. For that, turn to Lon Safko and David K. Brake. Their comprehensive guide to the perplexing online world explains the Internet-based social media, including how to use its networks and tools to build a marketing campaign. getAbstract recommends this smart, thorough, useful book to any businessperson who sees a single unfamiliar word in this paragraph.
