1) I spent thousands of hours researching basic how to information on the web and realized that business owners do not have that kind of time.
2) Some of the information and tutorials online seemed to be in different languages, so I decided to simplify my findings and put it into a basic step by step format.
3) I realized that a lot of new businesses online had social site profiles that were just sitting and when asked why, they replied- “we don’t know what to do next”, this is where my PR and branding skills came in handy.
4) Because every business needs a quick, easy and handy book on how to understand social media and get started.
5) Once I started writing it, I just couldn’t stop, I spent at least 7 days straight in my PJs, compiling my research, notes, case histories and branding tips into this book. Research however, took thousands of hours (no, I was not in my PJs the entire time).
Thank you for picking up this book, reading it and putting it into action. I love action takers AND I love helping businesses grow! Feel free to email me comments, suggestions, feedback to starr@starrhall.com. If you haven’t picked up my book yet, maybe it’s time you did- Get Connected is available where ever books are sold. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, CEOReads etc…
I will be launching a page on my web site (March 2010) that will include Get Connected Updates on all of the social sites reviewed in the book, stay tuned.
PS- A few other books that I recommend you pick up- Mastering Online Marketing by Mitch Meyerson, CRUSH IT by Gary Vaynerchuck (I think I might have a “crush” on him
, and Chris Brogan’s book- Trust Agents.
