Product Description
Review
“Return on investment in social media is like the weather: Everybody talks about it, but nobody is doing anything about it. With this book, Jamie Turner and Reshma Shah set you up for success with some key fundamentals, and then give you some very specific and illustrative examples on how to calculate the ROI of your social media efforts.”
–Scott Monty, Global Digital Communications, Ford Motor Company
“If you simply slap a few tools like Twitter and Facebook onto your existing marketing, you are not engaging. Social media are more than tools. But if you change your mindset, you can make money. This book is packed with information to show you how.”
–David Meerman Scott, bestselling author, The New Rules of Marketing, and coauthor, Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead
“This book is not a self-help guide to instant riches but offers a variety of strategies and quick tips to the experienced marketer in an entertaining and light tone. Callout boxes showcase key ideas. Although not a textbook, it would be an excellent choice to complement readings in marketing courses.”
–Library Journal

This works and is a valuable read,
This review is from: How to Make Money with Social Media: An Insider's Guide on Using New and Emerging Media to Grow Your Business (Hardcover)
As someone who consults in the social media webspace I am always looking for different perspectives and ideas in this dynamically changing market space where no-one knows everything. This is a logically laid out book with some good explanations for both newbie and expert alike. It mixes giving a good understanding of the social media space with with some really practical systems for managing your own campaigns.As social media evolves, this book will need revising, but at this point in time it is a good resource to develop a successful and effective social media presence.

Avoid Those "Spinach-Caught-In-Your Teeth" Kinds of Mistakes...,
By Hope Flammer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Make Money with Social Media: An Insider's Guide on Using New and Emerging Media to Grow Your Business (Hardcover)
If you're a an entrepreneur that regularly follows Guy Kawasaki or Perry Marshall's missives on Google search and email marketing, you'll want to read this book ASAP. Turner and Shah place social media strategies and platforms in context so that you avoid those "spinach caught in your teeth" kinds of mistakes non-net-natives (like me) tend to make. They also offer plenty of practical tips for fine-tuning efforts on the major platforms, tracking online conversations and dissecting what the competition is doing. It's one of those books you'll refer to over and over again. Especially Chapter 11, How to Use Promoting Platforms to Help you Grow Your Sales and Revenues".That said, the book is peppered with valuable case studies featuring many impressive Fortune 500 companies. I would have liked more case studies featuring start-ups and smaller companies like ours -- those that have to keep a remorseless eye on the time and effort involved with all social media efforts... 19 of 23 people found the following review helpful:

Best Social Media Guide Available,
By Andrew Shaffer "Author, Blogger" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Make Money with Social Media: An Insider's Guide on Using New and Emerging Media to Grow Your Business (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme
I've read many social media books, and this is one of the only ones that cuts through the hype. It views social media through the existing advertising and marketing landscape and gives reasons why companies should--and shouldn't--use it. A great overview of a constantly evolving landscape.My ONLY quarrel is with the title. It *is* about using new and emerging media to grow your business, but "How to Make Money with Social Media" sounds like a spammers' tagline on Twitter. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful:
