There certainly is no shortage of books about social media. There's a new one published just about every day, and most of them are out of date before they're even printed, because social media opportunities are constantly in flux.
My new report is filled with my trademark nitty gritty, real-world information - not theory. It's goal is to help you get high-yield, ROI-focused results by integrating social media into your overall marketing.
Straight Talk About Social Media explains the pitfalls and opportunities, and provides examples, resources, and advice about how to succeed in the Web 2.0 landscape. Its intent is to help you, not to scare you. But if you don't pay attention, heaven help your brand.
