Hello, Socialmedia.biz read­ers! I apol­o­gize for my silence, but I have been final­iz­ing my book on social media and Web 2.0 opti­miza­tion, which is now in print. I am excited to have it com­plete so I can actu­ally engage in social media again!

Over the next few months, I will post excerpts from the book, A Sur­vival Guide to Social Media and Web 2.0 Opti­miza­tion, that I hope you or your clients will find useful.

You can down­load a spe­cial teaser ver­sion of the social media book that includes the full table of con­tents, one com­plete chap­ter, and the sam­ple chapter’s respec­tive sec­tion on the resource CD, includ­ing fil­l­able forms.

If you’d like to order it, Socialmedia.biz read­ers get a spe­cial dis­count: Get the book for $16, includ­ing shipping:

The book comes with a resource CD that con­tains many fil­l­able forms and work­sheets to help with your social media strat­egy, and I will post links to some of those on occa­sion as well. So, stay tuned.

I am glad to be back, and look for­ward to con­tribut­ing once again!
