Earlier this month, I was browsing the business section at our library and I stumbled across the book, How To Make Money With Social Media by Jamie Turner and Reshma Shah, Ph.D.. As a vlogger and blogger, I am also looking for ways to grow my social media impact. This book sounded like something that would be beneficial to me and as I quickly glanced at the chapters, they appeared to be small and easy to read.
The book is broken up into five main units of thought: A quick overview and history of social media; how to set yourself up for social media success; different social media platforms; how to integrate social media in to your business; how to measure social media. The book is well divided so you don’t get overwhelmed with the information.
I really enjoyed reading the beginning and the end of the book. However, somewhere in the middle, I sort of lost what the authors were trying to convey. Maybe that was do to the fact that what I was reading didn’t apply to my current position with my vlog and blog. Whatever the case, when I moved to the last section on how to measure social media, I was right back into the book.
If you are looking for a basic how-to book on social media, this book may not be for you. This book is probably for the “advanced beginner” and one who knows at least some of the basics of social media. I’m not sure that I would add this book to my list of MUST HAVE books but it is certainly worth the time borrowing out of the library and browsing through it.
