Starred review from May 1, 2010
In the real world, how many new sales or job offers can you expect by attending a networking event and not speaking to anyone? How effective would it be to burst into a crowd of strangers, throw business cards at them, and abruptly disappear? Often, when individuals and businesses network via Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, the results are frustrating and disappointing because the interaction with others is the online equivalent of these behaviors. Kabani (founder, Marketing Zen Group) posits that leveraging social media is not so very different from conventional marketing and networking: success is dependent first on establishing trust then cultivating the relationship. Through expert commentary and examples from her own work, Kabani effectively demonstrates that simple practices of goodwill and honesty can produce results far beyond any traditional marketing campaign, begetting a Zen-like pay-it-forward viral phenomenon that is strategically effective "and" financially rewarding. She provides detailed instructions for launching social media campaigns and sound guidance for fully leveraging and optimizing search engines, web sites, and blogs. VERDICT Kabani's assertion that this is "the last social media guide you'll ever need" has merit, as anyone purchasing this also has access to a continually updated online version. Highly recommended for anybody with anything to market onlineincluding him- or herself.Judy Brink-Drescher, Molloy Coll., Rockville Ctr., NYCopyright 2010 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
