It's okay. There are several grammatical errors throughout the book and it has no index. Some good ideas, but nothing really mind-blowing. And not that it's the author's fault, but a good portion of the book is already obsolete.

Social Media is a book that talks about social media marketing and how you can increase your following and sales. It talks about all of the popular social media platforms and the benefits each one offers. It gives great tips on each individual social media platform.
I found this book very helpful. I'm an independent consultant for a few different companies. While I may not own my own company or brand, marketing for the companies I work for is crucial. Especially if I want to earn a living with commissions. I feel like I'll eventually go back and reread this book and take notes.
I do feel this book needs a slight editing job. There are words that are jumbled together that could use a spacing. There are also some sentences that need to be reworded entirely. Other than that, I still give it a five-star rating. Despite the need for editing, it's a really great book that's very resourceful.
I do fully recommend this book. If you are an independent consultant, like me or you own your own business, this is a great book that's full of tips. I especially love the explanation of what all the social media sites were and the highlights of their strong points. I am glad I read this book!

Imagine, Share, and Convert
After finishing Social Media: Strategies To Mastering Your Brand- Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat by David Kelly I must say that I have been marketing my blog for the last four years on most of the social media platforms that he covers and I learned a lot from the excellent guidance that he offered. Most of the information is correct, and I am sure it was when this excellent How-To manual when to the publisher but just like the devices that you use to visit these sites are out of date by the time they reach the store shelves, some of the information in this book is, also. With each platform continuously updating their site features, rules, algorithms, and settings this is not surprising and to be expected. The author explains clearly how each site works and how to use it to present yourself, company, and product in the most positive way possible, gaining you the best exposure and feedback from your target audience. Except for a few errors that should have been caught in editing, this book is flawless. I love the family tree look of the cover art, after all, social media is just like my big mixed up family with ever changing moods and each member with their own unique personality and strengths.

Brilliant!
Social Media: Strategies To Mastering Your Brand-Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat is a easy to read rundown of everything entrepreneurs need to gain a presence on social media.
The author, David Kelly, clearly knows what he is talking about and has done his research. Not only is this book concise but it is extremely user friendly. The breakdown of each social media platform and descriptions of what uses they have and how to navigate them efficiently is immensely helpful.
The only thing that concerned me were the lack of citations in the text regarding studies done regarding social media's impacts on businesses. There were also some typos but it did not interrupt the flow of this book.
This book is a great guide to show anyone the ins and outs of all the major social platforms and it expresses how to successfully navigate them. I found that the step by step instructions were very helpful and easy to follow.

A Must Read
Social Media: Strategies to Mastering Your Brand is a very informative and valuable book in its kind.
I have read many books on how to market and promote your brand or in my case, my novels. They're usually all about the authors success and how they got rich overnight ‘using this trick. We all know we can't become rich just like that or everyone would be rich.
David Kelly doesnt give you a salesmen pitch and hes not giving you false hopes. He gives you lengthy tips and useful suggestions; going into great detail on which media sites best fit the brand you have and the kind of posts that attract the most audiences and so forth so that you can really succeed.
Reading this has really opened my eyes to how important social media really is when youre getting your brand or book out there. I am definitely going to give these strategies a go.
If you're looking for information on how to get your brand out there I recommend this book.

Are you a true novice to social media? You’ve heard of the Facebook but not really sure it is useful in a real business application? Then trust me, this book is for you. Or maybe you are just having trouble keeping up with all the new social media sites popping up, and aren’t sure which will actually work best for your business? This might help narrow it down.
I found this book to be quite basic, but in a good way. If you really are completely new to social media or struggling to keep up it’s a quick read that will tell you the strategies of each of the major social media sites and a step by step how to set up each. However, if you even have a personal Facebook account it becomes a little repetitive quickly, and the grammar was awkward at points, even by online standards. But I really appreciated the refresher and the reminder that it’s not all about Facebook.

Beetje een flauw boekje vond ik. Misschien een fijne introductie als je nog geen hol kent van social media, maar 'strategies to mastering' heb ik niet echt gezien. Zeer algemeen en zeer oppervlakkig allemaal. Als ik op zoek ben naar echte strategieën, dan raak ik er niet met advies als 'geef een tag aan al je foto's'. Of "always remember to craft the content for social media in a highly precise and interesting manner which can quickly grab anyone’s attention.". Maar hoe je dat dan best aanpakt: ho maar!

Good resource for basic introductory social media information
If you know very little information about social media this might be a good first book to read. Many social media platforms are explained and each section has a few suggestions on utilizing it efficiently.
I use social everyday for work and blog promotion. I haven't heard of all of the programs featured. From what I understood our company uses different programs to achieve the same results.
Good suggestions about businesses platforms and missions were outlined.

After reviewing this book, I think that it does a good job of giving opinions on any number of social media sites. If you take the time to read this one you may find something interesting about a website that you may not have known about. I have found that there are other books that may provide more information for building your brand and or marketing platform.

More of the same
This book did have a few good pieces of info, but otherwise nothing new. If you have read one social media marketings book I am beginning to think you have read them all.

Good overview on each Social Media platform. Very brief.

Was very basic but interesting. Would be ideal for people with little to no experience in social media.

Summary
I think it's a great book for anyone looking for summaries of the top platforms to market on. Learned a trick or two on how to optimize my conversions,yet it's only one stepping stone.

Kind of redundant for someone who already knows a lot about using various social media platforms. Found so many typos... Wasn't so eloquently written.
Read
May 4, 2017In dealing with networking and business, David Kelly's book "Social Media: Strategies to Mastering Your Brand Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat," displays a down-to-earth approach to understand how social media works and how it can be used for business promotions. Kelly uses common language instead of technical jargon to explore the complex relationship between networking and business needs. Kelly explores each of these networks from overview to logging in for the first time to long term strategies. The book contains useful information for marketers and self-promoters on reaching an audience with their ideas and their products. The topic of branding comes up quite a bit. I find it a quick read, but wonder about more insights. This is definitely a resource book I will continue to use and therefore recommend it.

I have a small business and help with a non-profit’s Facebook and other social media sites so I was very excited to pick up a copy of Social Media: Strategies to Mastering Your Brand, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat by David Kelly. I was hoping it would teach me ways to attract followers to my social media pages and show me better ways to make my posts engaging and worth the time I spent working on the pages. The intro to this book promised not only help with these four social media outlets but several others including Flickr, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.
The book started off fairly strong and talked about branding which I knew was important and while we have clearly defined Mission and Vision Statements on the pages I knew working on a branding statement might help keep the point of our posts and interactions more to the point. The author gave clear examples of what branding statements looking like and I was ready to learn how to start making that work in my favor on social media.
After that I have to say I was quite a bit disappointed. I’ll admit I don’t have accounts on all the different media the author discussed but I did have several account like Twitter and Facebook that was discussed and the information was nothing more than what I learned poking around some on my own on those sites already. I didn’t fully understand the directions to the other sites because I’ve never been on them but I imagine if I was looking at the screens I would have also figured this out without the help from the book. The information provided is quite rudimentary.
The biggest downside to this book is the editing or rather the lack thereof. It looks as if no one proofed it before it was published and it shows. The other thing I have to add is that at many points in the book that looked as though they had been simply lifted out of articles about the particular social media form and sat in the book. There were a couple of times where an example of a person using the social media application of interest suddenly just showed up in the middle of a story and made no sense no matter how far back in the chapter I backtracked.
There is a final chapter addressing statistics from sites but I felt like it was already things I knew like finding out what time of the day you should post to catch the most viewers and seeing which posts the viewers liked the most and trying to recreate those posts. I was already trying these things on my own and it seems hit and miss for the most part so I was hoping there was going to be some creative ways to post demonstrated in the book but there was no sign of them. All the suggestions for maximizing social media for your business seemed almost the same for each application the author talked about.
If you are brand new to social media and don’t have a clue how to make a page or open an account on any of the social media platforms mentioned; you might find this book helpful. You might also just be able to figure it out on your own playing with it for a day or so as well. If you’ve already created your social media platforms and have been at it a while there’s really not that much for you in this book. I
