Struck Gold!

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2010

I am a full-time consultant within the search and social marketing landscape, and needless to say I am someone who is very familiar with the idea of using social networking sites as vehicles for driving conversation, engagement, and ultimately revenue for business purposes.

I found this book to be an amazing read; one that everyone, novice or expert, should have on their bookshelf for education and reference. I believe readers will find great value in learning how to develop strategies and goals, to find conversations that are happening around their company, products, and services, to engage, and to define and measure success.

My favorite chapter in the book came pretty early. Chapter 3, "Goals need to Be Defined", features valuable insights on ways companies can measure the success of their social marketing efforts. In my opinion, setting predefined goals and measuring success according to those goals is the most important detail when running a social marketing campaign. However, it is also the one detail that I believe is most overlooked. In this chapter, the author does a superb job breaking down what seemed like an unlimited number of metrics a company could use to measure social media - several of which were even new to me.

I 100% endorse this book, and recommend it to anyone in, or looking to get into, the social media space. I was personally able to attain several "golden nuggets" during the couple of hours it took me to read this book. I have altered my ongoing personal and professional social media efforts because of it.

Much better books out there

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2011

As others have noted, this book is very repetitive. I would actually give it 2.5 stars as it isn't bad, but it is not very informative, either. For example, do we need an entire chapter about "Bring in legal early", that actually says not much more than bring in legal early. She not only repeats herself throughout the book but even within paragraphs, by saying the same thing over and over using different words. This would have been a great pamphlet entitled Social Media Intro for Beginners. Also, not sure how much she is walking the walk, i.e. her blog hasn't been updated in months, her website has a terrible design and the last video posted is from 2 years ago. Don't want to bash the author; the book seems accurate but just extremely basic, rife full of typos and not as full of information as one would expect from a book. Reading it on the kindle made it worse as it is not as easy to flip through and skim the info, which would have been adequate to get the take away messages. I really liked the Zen of Social Media Marketing (thanks to another reviewer who recommended it - love Amazon reviews!) and found it more to the point, with practical advice and good case studies at the end.

Social Media Marketing

The book title was appealing to me considering I had no knowledge of social media. The author provided positive reasons why we should benefit from social media. For example, it is costly effective and feedback less than two minutes. Meanwhile, this would be a tool that I would definitely use in it the future. Facebook and linkedin will be an asset for me and other consumers when promoting products and services.

With the 5 stars, I thought this would be just what I was looking for. The book got off to a good start but then it became so repetitive that I stopped on page 215. Written simply for novices to understand, I'm not sure where the earlier reviewers found the expert guidance on strategy development and said it was for experts - now really?? This book is a great overview of social media and aligning it with goals and audiences but if I didn't already have some background in managing this as part of our organization's marketing communications strategy, this book would still leave me needing much more info. I may use it as an intro to several staff members but then, it's loaded with typos and missing words that really surprised me. I like the short chapters and assume the author expected people to jump around and that's why so much content is repeated throughout. I'm looking for a true guide for strategy development and integration? Anyone have suggestions?
