It wouldn’t be fitting to attempt to write a book about social media without seeking feedback from readers, so I’ve started posting the draft chapters from my forthcoming book, Secrets of Social Media Marketing, online for your review and comment. The introduction and first four chapters are available at www.ssmmbook.com and I would be pleased to have your input! The entire book – consisting of 10 to 11 chapters and about a half-dozen “vignettes,” will be posted during the next three weeks.

I posted drafts of my first book as blog entries, but this time I’ve selected a wiki from Wetpaint.com. With the wiki approach, you can actually edit the text and make changes as you see fit. I’ll consider all contributions for inclusion in the final manuscript, which is due to the publisher on May 1. If you care to make significant contributions, you’ll be credited with a byline or credit line.

The blog approach worked wonders with New Influencers. While I didn’t get a lot of changes, I got plenty of positive feedback that gave me encouragement to forge ahead. Please be brutally honest in your edits. This book will work best if it reflects the wisdom of all of you, which most certainly dwarfs my own.
