This is a book you won't be able to put down as it's packed full of how-tos and strategies for your social media marketing. Mitch Meyerson, the author, has gathered a constellation of the shining superstars of the social media world. Many I've followed for years, like Mari Smith, Keith Ferrazzi, Mike Stelzner, Denise Wakeman, Paul Colligan and Julie Perry, just to name a few. They were the trailblazers, are hugely successful on the new platforms and are all very generous in giving their valuable advice.
This brilliant book is so helpful for time-pressed entrepreneurs wanting to profit from the new opportunities created by the rise and massive popularity of the social networking platforms. You will discover in one easy read what the top players - like Brian Clark, Gary Vaynerchuk, Chris Brogan and Joel Comm - recommend and do themselves.
Like the author's previous bestsellers, this book is clear, concise, practical and well organized with lists, bullet points and highlighted tips. And - even more great value - there's the bonus of the audio interviews with the superstars. Hearing the contributors' voices adds and aides this insightful learning experience.
