Product Description

Product Description

If you think simply having a presence in social media will help you grow your business, you are wrong. Online networks are the new model for creating connections, so you'd better start by ditching your old ways of thinking. Being online is not about the technology - it is about the people. Technology is just the enabler. Forming deep relationships and being part of a community where you get out what you put in, lies at the heart of understanding this developing medium.

Know Me, Like Me, Follow Me takes you on a journey into the online business world. In 1998, Penny Power founded the online business network Ecademy, which has today grown to a membership of more than a quarter of a million, spanning over 200 countries. 1998 was the year Amazon.co.uk started and five years before Facebook existed. There was no route-map for Ecademy to follow and no knowing how the online world would develop. Penny was simply driven by a belief that there must be a better way for business people to meet, connect and help one another solve problems and expand their businesses.

Know Me, Like Me, Follow Me will refresh your thinking and help you truly understand the business opportunities that exist within social media, and how best to exploit them. Whether you are a multinational or an owner-manager, developing your online brand in the right way is key to making the most of the new business environment.

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

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing self-promotion, 24 Jan 2010
By Inga Erkmane (Riga, Latvia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Know Me, Like Me, Follow Me: What Online Social Networking Means for You and Your Business (Paperback)
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book proves there is no cure for stupid, 22 Oct 2009
By Mitch (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Know Me, Like Me, Follow Me: What Online Social Networking Means for You and Your Business (Paperback)
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars No Stars Wanted, 13 Sep 2009
This review is from: Know Me, Like Me, Follow Me: What Online Social Networking Means for You and Your Business (Paperback)
This was a huge disappointment. It is poorly written in a meandering style that is repetitive and demonstrates a fatal paucity of ideas.
