Must read if you need a platform in this digital age

I just wrote a book and am getting ready to self-publish. I was intimidated and confused by social media. Now I have a practical tool-kit to help me build my platform with confidence.

helpful in several ways

this was easy to listen to but some things would be better to have in print. there was enough takeaway for the price but some of this info is already becoming outdated.

Best Ever Social Media Reference!

Even before I completed Michael's book, I had already referred 2 bloggers to it. When I finished listening to it (Audible) I was certain I would need the actual book. There is just too much to glean from audio book to paper. This is now my #1 social media ref. Book!
Thank you Mr. Hyatt
