Format:Paperback
I own a local professional service and have a FB page which has very little interaction from my fans. I wanted to find out how to use my page effectively for my business and in the past few months I have read many books on social media but none of them has helped me so far. Sure, all the authors advocate having a Facebook page and go on about how, if you don't have a FB page, you're not taking advantage of the power of social media. Yet few of them show you how to actually harness this power. It's frustrating to say the least.

Likeable Social Media is the most informative book I've read on the subject so far and I wish I had bought this book first. It would have saved me a lot of money and frustration. Yes, a lot of what it talks about seems obvious, but only after you've read it. It has many of these a-ha moments and I found myself thinking "Of course, why didn't I think of that!" It dispels a lot of the myths surrounding social media and I started gaining a much clearer picture on how to use it to interact and engage, rather than how most people use it, which is to broadcast, promote and sell. I came away feeling really excited and empowered, and eager to put what I've learned into practice.

If you want to learn how to use FB and other social media to your advantage, don't wast time. Just buy this book.

Likeable Social Media 25 Nov 2011
By Rolf Dobelli TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
An average of 130 friends plug into every Facebook member's data stream. Each time a member hits the "Like" button on your page to endorse your online content, all of his or her friends potentially can see your material and recognize this valuable endorsement. The more likes you secure, the more your number of online viewers can grow. In this hands-on guide, Internet whiz Dave Kerpen, CEO of Likeable Media, offers practical tips - though they may be familiar to experienced users - and teaches you how to secure the maximum number of likes for your Internet content. Kerpen explains what to do, how to do it and why. getAbstract recommends his knowledgeable take on social networks to marketing professionals who want to enhance their company's brands and increase sales.

Alot of the information in this book is stuff which you would think is common sense - but only after you've read it! Trying to use traditional marketing techniques in the new social media world is a mistake almost every company seems to make and this book gives you the knowledge and skills to set your business apart and become likeable! A brilliant book.
