It’s been nearly 4 months since I wrote my last book review. I stopped for a while because I ended my very brief ‘side hustle’ as an affiliate marketer.
However, as part of my New Year’s resolution, I had planned to read one book a month. Although I am almost 4 months behind, I will continue to read the rest of the books on my reading list before the end of the year. I will also write a review of each book and will add a link to the book so that you can purchase it on Amazon at no extra cost to you and no commission for me (but that’s okay).
For this blog post, I want to review the book 500 Social Media Marketing Tips by Andrew McCarthy. This book was written for individuals and businesses to leverage the power of social media to enhance their online presence across various online channels. This comprehensive guide offers tips, insights, and advice on how to maximize your reach and online engagement with your audience.
The author of 500 Social Media Marketing Tips provides hundreds of expert tips and advice to create an effective social media marketing campaign that can grow your business on the most popular social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest. The author will teach you how to optimize your profile, build an effective content strategy to captivate your audience, and use paid advertising to reach a wider audience and boost sales.
This book discusses hints and strategies that you can use on social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram, and Pinterest. This book can help you to reach your business goals such as generating more sales, increasing website traffic, or delivering top-quality customer service.
I started reading this book hoping to learn some useful tips to increase my online presence, engage with my audience on social media, and make more sales of my books. Although this book is loaded with actionable strategies and advice, I could not finish it.
It looked to me like the author was trying to cram as much information as possible without trying to make the book too long. So, he used a very small text which I did not like reading because my eyesight is already bad. I was wearing glasses while I was reading the book, and I still found the text to be too small.
Secondly, the book contained so much information, that I felt overwhelmed and did not know what to do first to enhance my online presence. I am not social media savvy, so I found it very difficult to follow the author’s instructions to create a Facebook page or a LinkedIn profile. I think if the author added pictures, it would have helped as I am a visual learner. However, I realize that web pages are dynamic and are constantly being updated so I know that the pictures would be out of date a few months before the book would be published.
As I mentioned earlier, I am not social media savvy, so I did not find that this book was beneficial to me. I purchased this book with the hope of gaining some new social media marketing strategies to increase traffic to my website and generate more book sales, but all that information made my head spin, and I knew that I would not have the time, energy, or patience to implement the ideas presented in the book.
There is nothing wrong with what the author wrote. I believe that the book 500 Social Media Marketing Tips contains a wealth of information to help individuals and businesses reach their marketing goals, but I don’t think this book was right for me. I rarely spend time on social media as I find it quite tedious and time-consuming to come up with new content to post on various channels two or three times a day to capture the attention of my audience. I’d rather stick to updating my website and sharing my posts on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
500 Social Media Marketing Tips is a book written for people who want to achieve long-term success in social media marketing by building strong relationships with customers and publishing content that people want to share with their family, friends, and colleagues.
