Instead of my typical “how to” posts about my fave online tools, I thought I’d show you one in action. Plus, I need your help.
Just about every friend, family member and client has asked me for social media marketing book recommendations. I try to read as many as I can, but, heck, I’m only one person. Woe, is me. Not really, I love getting asked for help. What’s even better than a personal recommendation? Having it backed up by YOU. I thought, why not rely on the wisdom of my Faves readers? I started a list of my fave social media marketing books for you to upvote. If you have the book, feel free to let us know that, too. This is a “living” list made with Listly. Because I created the list with options to “curate” and “crowd rank” it means anyone can add to it (if you don’t see your favorite book) and vote (I disabled the downvote option for this list). Just click “Add to List.” You can even embed this list on your blog or website. Pretty sweet.
ONE MORE THING… Next Tuesday, I’ll pick four of my awesome Faves readers and send a copy of the number one voted book to you.
