Social Media Ebooks You May Have Missed

Comments | Add yours

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. :)

    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?

    Great ebooks Amber! Stellar stuff here for sure. Can we offer your ebooks as a giveaway on LinkedIn groups? I have a social media group I think would love to read some of the information you provide. It's a new group so providing valuable info like this would really help. I assume we just credit you and link back here?
