Used in his classes at Stanford Continuing Studies, the Social Media Marketing Workbook has become a beloved classic among small business owners and marketing managers. Why?

The book begins with content marketing, proceeds through each major platform (such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube) and helps you to make a plan for how to market a business on social media. The book is based on an analogy - that social media is like a party and that you are the 'party thrower.' You need content just as you'd need food and entertainment, you need a promotion strategy just as you'd need invitations, and you need a systematic understanding of each social platform, just as you'd need a lot of technical knowledge to throw a great wedding or a great corporate meet-and-greet. Indeed, you'll be throwing a 'party with a purpose, ' using social media marketing to build your brand and ultimately sell more stuff. Compare the Social Media Marketing Workbook to other books out there on the topic.
