Social media marketing is no longer something any business can ignore. However, learning effective social media strategies, along with the right tools, to make it easier and more effective can be like searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack. There are countless numbers of books and courses on the subject, but most leave you feeling like you learned just enough to realize you have no clue what to do next. That is not the case with “Social Media Marketing Workbook 2017”.

This book simplifies social media marketing as a whole, then breaks it down for the different platforms. What makes this book better than the rest is that it also gives you the tools you need to make your first (or next) social media marketing campaign less mind-boggling work — and more effective. This book is perfect for any size business — or for anyone who wants to learn to use social media as a way to market products, services, or ideas.

I thought that this was simple and easy to understand. My husband and I are thinking of opening our own business eventually and I think that this will help out a lot with us advertising and getting our business up off the ground. Lots of helpful links provided in this to help you out.
