The best practical how-to guide I’ve read from someone who’s not just touting theory but really gets it and lives it.
Catherine Crawley, London Business Book Club

Jam-packed with practical tips and tricks, generously shared by someone who’s been there before you.

“Get up to speed” is that rare thing: a how-to manual which neither patronises its readers nor bores them to death with great swathes of over-technical detail or dreaded jargon. Added to which, it is quite elegantly written in a breezy, conversational style which allows the reader to zip through with pleasure, effortlessly absorbing the information they are after.
D. Kirkman,Amazon.co.uk reviewer

This book is incredibly well written, it offers practical tips and great advice. Its also enjoyable to read, this subject could be considered a little dry but I came away feeling both inspired and educated.
Benjamin D., Amazon.co.uk reviewer

What I really liked about this book was the advice it gave about how to create a long term relationship, being focused in my time and energy but also how to enjoy doing it all. So much better than the one-sided ‘how to sell, sell, sell approach’ other experts offer. There’s a good mixture of stories, examples and questions, and I really recommend the practical exercises.

This book is the new social media bible for me – it is the first place I look when I want to think about how to come up with a strategy for a Facebook site for a product.
culturevulture, Amazon.co.uk reviewer

Fascinating book, which covers just about every aspect of this fast-moving arena, in enough depth to be guiding but not so much specific detail that it would become outdated any time soon.
J Bremer, Amazon.co.uk reviewer

This book is less a purchase than an investment. A fantastically clear and accessible account of social media and marketing today. It brings one step by step through the entire process of establishing a credible and effective on-line presence.

For anyone who needs and wants to utilize social media to promote a business, but doesn’t know where to start, this is an excellent step-by-step guide. Jon Reed makes the concept of social media marketing very approachable and even fun. You can tell he’s been there himself and really understands the ins and outs of building an online presence.

This was a very good book for someone who wants to learn how to create any sort of online presence. It walks you through creating podcasts, blogs and much more and then tells you how you can use them effectively in your business.
