The music business is tough. Everyone wants to be a star but only some put in the time, effort and bring the talent to really make a difference and become successful.
“Making it” in the social media world isn’t so different. Everyone seems to be a “social media guru” but few seem to deliver on the promise of making a difference and achieving a positive impact on business outcomes. But like the music business, there are those few who bring varying degrees of talent, dedication and smarts to really leverage the social web to become rockstars in their respective industries and roles.
With social media success comes the opportunity to share lessons learned, insights and advice for others that seek to earn their way into the social media rockstar hall of fame. In October we recognized a group of social media smart women who are each rocking the social web in their own way. Their social songs are heard around the world, inspiring people and businesses to be better, to do more.
We’ve taken the next step and created this Visual eBook of tips from 10 of those social media rockstars and included 10 of our own to give you equal doses of inspiration and tactical – practical social media marketing advice.
So that begs us to ask the question…Are you ready to rock the social web?
You can download the eBook in PDF format, by clicking the cover image below:

The most important thing I learned about rocking social media this year is the concept of “give before you get.” In fact, giving should be primary function of your social media activity. Social media is not a broadcast channel 🙂 It’s a conversation.

Hi Kirsten,
I could not agree more! Thanks for sharing.
yes social media is the conversation plat forum it is not something like broadcost channel you are right kirsten infact.
Social Media is a complicated concept when business comes into play. People on facebook/twitter/linkedin…etc are there because they want to get in touch with their friends and to share intersting or funny images/videos and they are not there to buy so they are not potential buyers…however there are many people who manage to make money from facebook and generally speaking social media, interesting, isn’ it?
The visual ebook is a great concept because most online content consumers tend to be visually inclined.
ya.I agree with you.
Thanks for the eBook Ashley, I will ask my staff to download and learn from the eBook, really appreciate that.
