Facebook Campaign Sucked Me In!
597755
This book is just a woman grasping at making connections that don't exist, and being told by Psychic Mediums that the things she sees, hears, and feels, are her dead lover communicating with her.  She unabashedly writes about her being defrauded by what is obviously charlatans.  There is not proof of her connecting to her dead lover at all.  This book is just a way to capitalize on the death of her boyfriend.  I bought it because of the memes I was being bombarded with on Facebook and was greatly disappointed as I thought there would be some spiritual message, or a unique experience, and it's just a woman desperate to see a connection where none exists.

Do you spend too much time on Facebook? Do your friends or family think you spend too much time on Facebook? You may have FAD... Facebook Addiction Disorder. Gemini Adams pokes fun at our addiction to the site in her cartoon book The Facebook Diet:: 50 Funny Signs of Facebook Addiction and Ways to Unplug with a Digital Detox. There's a very good chance you'll see yourself in more than one of the drawings, and it may be mildly uncomfortable to face the truth.

The cartoons are prefaced with "You know you're a Facebook addict when...", and that's when it starts to get funny (or discomforting). If you use Facebook, you'll probably find yourself in at least one of the 49 cartoons that follow. Perhaps it's "You open your account just to check for messages but find you're still sitting there five hours later." Maybe it's "You faint if none of your 4687 'friends' comments, shares, or likes your post within five minutes." I may have to 'fess up to "Your loved ones get really crazy over the amount of time you spend glued to the screen." Yeah, well...

The serious (but still humorous) part of the book comes at the end where she offers up some suggestions for going on a "digital detox" - the Facebook diet. Perhaps you should "Start or join a club. One with real live human interaction, spit, warts, bad breath, and all!" "Power down for 24 hours every week and sign up for undolist.com" might be a good idea. Or, "If all else fails... move to China!"

While the humor quotient is high in The Facebook Diet, the underlying message is one that you shouldn't ignore. Life is not lived through facebook.com. It's lived in the real world, and you do need to step back and figure out where you should be drawing a line between your virtual world and reality. I never used to think I was into Facebook all that much, but I have to admit that I spend too much time thinking about posting, liking, sharing, etc. I *do* need more of a real life.

The Facebook Diet is a fun quick read that I think will hit a little too close to home for a number of people. It's worth the read for both the laughs and the reality check.

Just finished the book A Visit From The Good Squad.  Throughout parts of the book I was thinking, "Why am I reading this?"  Then I got to the last two chapters and was simply amazed.  The power point chapter was pure genius--how she was able to impart a great amount of information in several sparse slides--wow!  Then I read the final chapter and was so glad I stuck with the book.  As I read the final chapter, my mind kept flashing to Alvin Toffler and Future Shock.  Did a search and found lots of people old enough to remember Toffler made that connection. Scary true!

[...]

As I then reflected on Facebook and other social networking sites, I shivered.  Then, I went to my FB site and made a post!  Am I acting on my own impulses or is society creating them??????  I think digitization is bigger and far more invasive than many realize.  I recommend the book but it is not light reading.

Looking back now I'm not 100% sure how I first got my hands on Likeable Social Media, but to whoever recommended it to me, I owe a debt of gratitude.  As a Social Media Specialist for a mid-size company, I gained a ton of insight for how our brand can become more "Likeable".  I purchased several additional copies to share with the rest of our Social Media team and look forward to putting some of the ideas I developed along the way to work.  Hopefully we'll have a big enough impact that Dave wil be writing about us in his next book - which better be coming!

This is definitely one area of my business where  I have really struggled. Building that intimate connection with my list. Just how much time can I spare to scan through all the Facebook and Linkedin Groups, answering questions, trying to be helpful and demonstrate my expertise and worthiness. Not to mention Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest and all the rest. Oh yeah, and what about carving out some time dedicated to revenue producing activities? If you're anything like me I get tired just thinking about it. Well thank goodness for Kevin Kruse! I accepted his invitation to read a prelease copy of this book and I'm so pleased I did. I have already implemented a number of his strategies and enjoyed almost immediate results. My biggest take away was how to put the Ben Franklin Effect to best use and turn haters into supporters. I wonder what your biggest take away will be? The point is, read, implement and reap the rewards. Kevin has removed the overwhelm and I'm forever grateful.

After reading this collection of stories, I am truly inspired.  No wonder their Facebook pages are so popular! The collective energy of all the authors' personal triumphs leaves a trail of uplifting spiritual power it its wake.  Great job in showing the reader what is happening behind the curtain of these 'wizards' on Facebook!  Easy read for all ages.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-FACES-behind-the-PAGES-that-INSPIRE-Untold-Stories-About-People-Who-Empower-Us-Every-Day-A-Victim-No-More-Volume-3/dp/1482598973/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The FACES behind the PAGES that INSPIRE: Untold Stories About People Who Empower Us Every Day (A Victim No More) (Volume 3)</a>

I just finished reading the new book " Social Media Overload" by Corey Perlman and I'm a little frustrated.
  Let me explain. I have been following Corey for a few years. I first saw him at a presentation put on by a local Dale Carnegie chapter in Birmingham ,Al. I had recently opened a business and was trying the learn how to market and promote. I saw the ad for the one day course and it seemed like a great start.

  The presentation was excellent and I picked up a copy of Corey's first book, Eboot Camp and some other materials he had available. That was the beginning of my adventures in social media from a marketer standpoint and not just a consumer.

I really like Evan Bailyn. I've read Outsmarting Google and it has helped my website quite a bit. It's a slow process. Slow as molasses really. But it does work. And, although I haven't implemented all of the concepts in Outsmarting Social Media, from what I have read so far, this is primed to be another winner.

In this book Evan talks about the rise of Facebook, the challenges that Google faces now that Facebook is a dominant force, what to do with Facebook and the rest of the social media websites in order to built your brand, how to use Google's Local services efficiently and more.

In it he also goes into detail about how to place Facebook ads. Not quite sure I'm in agreement with this one yet, but we'll see. With Evan's 10 commandments of a Facebook ad perhaps he has more insight than the average person placing an ad on Facebook. Because right now they are just awful and not targeted at all.

I look forward to putting all these concepts to use and continuing to built my brand with free or nearly free methods!

I was intimidated initially because it was too technical for a new user.  I barreled through and am so glad I did!  I found some muscle exercises and assists that have already made a huge difference in my life!  Thanks!

This book has been a real eye opener for both my personal Facebook page and my business Facebook page.  I am new to Network Marketing and have been looking for the secret to utilize social media to enhance my business.  I would definitely recommend this book to anyone in a Network Marketing or Direct Sales type business - or any type of business that you are trying to promote on Facebook.

This book is amazing! I used what I learned to launch a campaign for the Million Dollar Coupon.

In addition to spreading virally around the web on the real estate websites and blogs, the traditional media also picked up the story! It has aired on television stations in many major cities around the country. And, many other media outlets have picked it up, as well, including the LA Times, Neal Cavuto's show on FOX News and Florida Trend Magazine's website!

This is all because of what I learned reading the book! David rocks!

Honestly, I could have only dreamed this campaign would be this successful!

Incredible strategies in this book! Love the idea of using a current client within a FB ad to help you build instant trust and credibility to  land others! This book was a huge steal.

I highly recommend it to others!
