Good Resource for Those of Us Who Are New to Social Media Marketing
Evans offers a good introduction and perspective into the psychology of social media marketing and has useful tools and resources to plan a social media marketing campaign by…
I loved this book. Over the past year or so I have read quite a number of tomes regarding social media and social media marketing, but none until this one have been written in a planner or workbook format. This one is well written, well organized, and full of content. It has 14 chapters split into the following four parts or sections:
I. The Foundation of Social Media
II. Month 1: Prepare for Social Marketing
III. Month 2: Social Media Channels
IV. Month 3: Complete Your Plan
Two books similar to this one on how to put together a business plan are: “16 Weeks to Your Dream Business” (ISBN: 9780071588362, and “Self Employment: From Dream to Reality” (ISBN: 1563709228). And a book similar to this one on how to put together a fundraising plan is: “The Fundraising Planner” (ISBN: 0787944351). The instant book being reviewed touches on the marketing issues of social media, and then devises a systematic approach to putting together a social media marketing plan customized to your small business.
Each of the 14 chapters ended with a summary section. I found it very easy to cruise through this book by first reading the summary sections and then tackling the rest of the book after having a pretty good idea of what was being covered.
After reading this book you will have devised a social media marketing plan that addresses (1) platform, (2) content, and (3) interaction. You will have decided whether to use Technorati, MySpace, Socialvibe, Flickr, Facebook, Friendster, Linkedin, and/or YouTube. Technorati is the tunnel through which to learn more about the blog or blogs you will create.
So if you want to tap into the power of the Social Web through connected networks and consumer-oriented media, then I recommend this book as one of the tomes you seek out and read in order to build your company’s social media marketing plan. 5 stars!
PS. Take a look at the Search Inside feature at Amazon for this book. There you can access the book’s Table of Contents and see exactly what is covered.

Social Opportunities
This is a good guide for how business people can discover and develop opportunities using the many different social networking sites available today.
I had been on the waiting list of Amazon.com for over 3 months waiting for this book to be released and it is exactly what I hoped for. I’m actually only 108 pages through it now as I “peeked” at all the self help guides that the author has in the appendix. I want to jump right in and get it going but Dave’s advice to take your time and learn the hows and whys is so important.
I was not looking for a social commentary on social media but wanted to know the ins and out, nuts and bolts, on how to implement a successful marketable strategy and this book does it.
Only this morning I actually went to the blog and sent an email to the author, Dave, and was surprised that within a few minutes he had responded . Talk about getting more than a book!!
What is so engaging is the author is energetic, evangelistic in his zeal to help others, and willing to share to make this journey easier for others to follow. It’s a step by step guide for an emerging dynamic field which is affecting us now and will do so far into the future.
I’m glad this book exists and is so affordable and even happier the author is willing and able to help us along.

I was very satisfied with the nuts and bolts details in this book.The action steps led to measurable results for me and I could see them just as described in the promo for the book. It was everything I expected and had bonus resiurces and historical background as well. This book is a must for any web professional or if you just want to learn about social networking.

This Is The Whole Enchilada!
I purchased this book along with The New Rules of Marketing & PR. This book covered more of the “new media” than the aforementioned.

Excellent, useful, hands-on social media book (but not the best for nonprofit marketing professionals)
Out of all the books on Social Media Marketing, I purchased this one because its title seemed the most practical. I was not disappointed.
