Product Description

Product Description

Guide to understanding the online environment from expert author who created the world's first online business network.In 1998, long before Facebook existed and the year that Amazon.co.uk launched, Penny Power conceived, planned and set up the world's first online business network. Penny is driven by her desire to connect business people for the common good. Under her guidance, Ecademy has grown to over 270,000 members worldwide and continues to grow at a rate of 15,000 new members each month. KNOW ME, LIKE ME, FOLLOW ME sets out Penny's compelling vision of how we should do business.

From the Author

Writing this book has been the most rewarding experience of my life (well second to marriage and children). I have loved every minute of this. When I started I was in awe of all authors, now I have completed it I am so thrilled to join the ranks of published experts.
My intention as I wrote this was to help people move their lives in a positive direction by feeling in control of how they can earn money and create personal security. The social networking world is a huge shift in society and we are on the cusp of this societal change.
I want the book to feel like a conversation with a good friend, it should warm you, inspire you and comfort you. All of us have uniqueness about us, all of us can generate attraction on the internet and all of us can create a reputation and a legacy. I hope once you have read this you will know more about how to be successful in business and perhaps be inspired to create a personal online brand that will bring you emotional and financial wealth

I read this book and was left feeling disappointed. I expected a book on leading edge thinking around social media and social networking, but practical at the same time, from one of the pioneers in social networking.

I finished the book knowing a huge amount about Penny & Thomas Power, and their struggle to build ecademy to what it is today - and my respect for what the two of them has built is now very high. I didn't feel that I had learnt much about how to use social networking in my business life.

The book meanders, and lacks style and structure.

If you want a basic primer on how to use social networking, I would recommend Guy Clapperton's book - how to blog, tweet and link your way to business success. If you want a strategic book on how to use social networking, I would recommend '33 million people in the room' by Juliette Power.

From a promising subtitle "What online social networking means for you and your business" and majority of rather good reviews I expected much more. But the book appeared to be a complete disappointment and pure self-promotion of the author and her business. Seemed that even all/most of the case studies are surrounded around Ecademy.
Also author's idea on building wide networks by all means, not caring whether you know the people or not, sounded rather strange, but that's just different opinions.
I wish I stopped at least at page 50, when I already felt that the book leads to nowhere; however, had a hope that there must be some valuable advice. I was wrong.

Having witnessed some of Mrs Power's other attempts at written communication I would give this book a wide berth. All of her work displays the intellectual rigour of an 8 year old - a fact made all the more inexplicable when one considers that she gets a ghostwriter to churn this stuff out. I feel sorry for the ghostwriter slightly more than I do for the people who may read this nonsense.
