Book Reviews
As a small business owner, I wanted something clear, concise and smartly organized to help me wrap my head around the Social Media marketing mystery. This is a great book with lots of smart tips and "rules"...plus access to more information on the Splash Media site. I highly recommend this book.

This book did a great job of explaining not only what to do on social media sites, but also the reasoning behind each activity/task/objective. Instead of just blindly following suggestions, Mr. Slack allows the reader to understand the process and better appreciate why he/she is spending valuable time on these tasks. He also stressed the importance of patience and didn't set unrealistic expectations. As an attorney, I think it would be a great tool for anyone running a solo practice and looking to expand via social media.
