I tend to focus on the technical tasks that authors and bloggers need to learn. As of this publishing I have 27 books in print and several more in various stages of completion. I’m always looking to be helpful - often creating books around subjects that I get a lot of questions on from authors and bloggers just like you. Don’t hesitate to send me questions that can lead to my next book!

There are a lot of books on the subject of social media, but I repeatedly hear from clients that they are either too technical, too long, or simply too overwhelming.

The goal for this book is to serve as a handbook – a go-to guide for the set up, optimization and the maintenance of all of the common social media platforms. Or in other words, answer the question of ‘Now what?’ The social media that we will be covering in this book are:
