Good Introduction to Twitter,
By
This review is from: Twitter Power: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time (Hardcover)
Twitter Power provides a good introduction to using Twitter - from how to set up your twitter account, tips for creating a good biography, corporate branding on twitter, types of tweets, etc. The author does not recommend following everyone on Twitter (read chapter 4). He recommends quality over quantity - search for the experts in your area of expertise and follow them for a while. Learn from them what content is interesting and valuable to people. Then join the conversation and offer content that is valuable to people. Gradually, you will gain followers but it takes time and patience. The book also covers third party tools, metrics to track success and discusses how to integrate Twitter with your blog. Overall, it is a good overview of the tool and how it can fit into the marketing mix.

How To Spam Your Market...,
By
This review is from: Twitter Power: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time (Hardcover)
This book should have been subtitled... How to Spam Your Market One Tweet At A Time.... It advocates following everyone you can find and then constantly tweeting them in the hope that some of them will buy your product.That's akin to the spammers code of harvesting as many email addresses as possible using email bots and then emailing them all in th ehopes that one or two will buy. It wont be long now before we have twit-bots doing just that and then the Twitter service will be abandoned due to spam. I'm returning my book.

Twitter 101,
By M. Susoev - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Twitter Power: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time (Hardcover)
I was disappointed with Twitter Power, especially after reading the many reviews that claimed this book would reveal many techniques for both beginners and pros alike. For anyone that has been using Twitter for more than a couple weeks, this book is really 101. It seems to be geared towards people that have never heard of Twitter or are just getting started. If that's the case, this book will help you get your feet wet, but it doesn't shed light on anything you can't pick up on your own simply by using Twitter for a few days.Twitter is real time with instant response in most cases, and you'll find out what works for you and what doesn't almost immediately. You can also pay attention to the power players and note their approach. The book just points you to the top users on Twitter anyways. Save your money and do a little homework. I've given an extra star because 10% of author proceeds go towards sustainable long term water solutions in developing areas of the globe. 58 of 67 people found the following review helpful

Best Book On Twitter,
By Ann Paris "James Paris" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Twitter Power: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time (Hardcover)
This is the third Twitter book I have read and this one was the best by far. In my reading and marking pages, I found at least 50 specific marketing strategies I can use right now. Being an author of 20 books myself, I am a tough critic of these kinds of books. I would give this one my highest recommendation for anyone wanting to learn about Twitter or online marketing in general.[...] 16 of 19 people found the following review helpful

If you're using Twitter you need to read Twitter Power!,
By Miles Baker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Twitter Power: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time (Hardcover)
I've been following Joel on Twitter for over a year as of writing this. Over that time I've seen his Twitter following grow by thousands of followers! Watching this amazing growth and following Joel's tweets I've realized he definitely knows Twitter inside and out. I'm glad he's finally released all his knowledge and tips into book format.Just in the the first few chapters Twitter Power covers the basics and potential mistakes I see SO MANY people making with Twitter. It then goes on to cover many other helpful aspects such as how to use Twitter to build your brand, getting help, building a team, applications you can use with Twitter, and more. I highly recommend reading Twitter power for anyone that uses Twitter and wants to get the most out of it. |
