Social Media Ebooks You May Have Missed

Because I’m not always stellar about updating some of the other pages of my blog, I wanted to collect the ebooks I’ve written all in one place, so you can have at them if you need them, and so I have an easy place to point folks to when they ask. I’m hoping one or two are useful for you.

In the redesign of the blog (soon!) these will be better organized, but for now, here are the ones I’ve compiled in the last year or so. They’re all free, and hopefully helpful. Let me know what you think.

Getting a Foothold in Social Media

A rundown of some of the basic, fundamental elements of building a social media plan, especially directed at smaller and medium-sized businesses, but certainly consistent for companies of any size. Click here to download the PDF.

The Social Media Starter Kit

Here, we cover some of the most popular social media tools and technologies, including Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and blogging, as well as some productivity and supporting tools to make social media task management easier and more fluid. Click here to download the PDF.

Building a Social Media Team

If you’re considering deploying a team to tackle your social media efforts, have a look here. We’ll discuss why you might need a team, how to assemble one, roles and responsibilities, and more. The ebook includes a look inside Humana’s social media “Chamber Of Commerce” and how their interdisciplinary team is driving social media efforts at their company. Click here to download the PDF.

Social Media Time Management

If you’re struggling with information overload and how to sort your priorities in social media, this ebook will give you some practical, actionable ideas for managing the firehose. Includes some thoughts on resource allocation and time commitments for social media strategies inside a business, as well as 9 strategies for keeping the social media monster manageable.

Thanks, Amber. I’m teaching a social media class at Drake University this semester and these will be very handy goodies to hand out to my students. I appreciate your willingness to share so freely.

These ebooks are great! Thanks for sharing. Having trouble downloading the ‘Social Media Time Management’ one though… when I click the highlighted link, it just redirects me to the image of the colorful clocks. Am I doing something wrong? (The prior 3 worked perfectly.)

Thanks for your help! @kimberlyfab

Hi Amber,
I had printed and read two of the four but had missed the other two. I’m printing Social Media Time Management right now. Thanks for putting these ebooks all in one post! Very helpful!

You’ve put some very practical, good information in these ebooks and I’ve really enjoyed reading them.

I’m getting ready to launch a new blog and business of my own that will certainly benefit from all this information. As I’m trying to learn some areas of the business which are outside my comfort zone, I’ve been scouring the internet for helpful Wordpress tutorials and information on Social Media.

In a lot of sites that I’ve run across, I’ve noticed that the blog author defines themselves as a Social Media expert. I know this is your area of expertise, so I’m just curious. What do you think it takes for someone to actually be able to define themselves a Social Media expert?
