I received this as a goodreads giveaway and I was not disappointed. It is informative, and well written. This is a beneficial tool to anyone trying to broaden their small business marketing by using social networks such as Facebook. I have personally used Facebook for a small business now for a few years and I found several very helpful tips and tools in this book that I did not know where capable through Facebook.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to increase the number of people exposed to their business in a quick, efficient, seemingly effortless way.

I think that this is a great how to guide for any business owner wanting to use Facebook!

I love that Facebook gives you the option to find out who likes your product by age and sex. I also think the chapter about paid advertisements is very interesting, even for a Facebook user.

This is a great book to pay it forward with to any small business owner you might know!!

There were some solid strategies described in this book, and although overall a bit more simple than I needed, this would be a great gift for the new manager/entrepreneur in your life if they are not terribly tech-savvy. Very user-friendly and descriptive with excellent photos to show you exactly what to do.

I liked it a lot. It covered the basics, which is good for people who don't really know how to use Facebook. The only thing missing was that it didn't really cover how to advertise a service rather than a product.

Will be outdated in no time. Also didn't give slot of information I didn't already know.
