I don't know if it's that I've been reading so many social media marketing books lately, or if it's this book in particular, but I found it repetitive...meaning it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. However, if you're just embarking on a reading frenzy about social media marketing, it could be of value.

This book wasn't what I was looking for. It mostly had an overview of various social media sites some of which I didn't know about. There wasn't much in the way of tips on how to actually get people interested in joining the social media.

[Harmony Williams · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit dated, given that it was published 8 years ago, but still provides some thought-provoking tips on how to leverage the time you devote to social media.

Dated but picked out info I needed.

[Damla Kaan · Rating 1 out of 5]

I wanted to kill myself after reading this book.

[Lori Grant · Rating 4 out of 5]

A should-read book on social media for the knowledge worker, manager, executive, or entrepreneur.

[Luigi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Useful book, limited value for experienced users, but worth a read before it gets too dated.

[Sarah Carter · Rating 2 out of 5]

It might have been useful several years ago, but now ( a free download from Bookbub) it's outdated and of questionable value.

[Frank Corriveau · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was OK. Full of information if I had a product to sell. Read purely for interest sake.
