Book Review - Social Media for the CEO

Gina and I attended a book release party a few months ago. Eve Mayer Orsburn was releasing her book titled, Social Media for the CEOThe Why and ROI of Social Media for the CEO of Today and Tomorrow.

Social Media for the CEO

With more and more companies adding social media to their marketing campaigns, many CEOs want to understand how to go about setting up a social media campaign and how to determine the ROI. Eve explains why companies need to embrace social media. She outlines the simplicity of it and drives home the idea that it can have a huge impact on a company’s bottom line.

The main portion of the book is composed of case studies of companies, both large and small, setting up social media campaigns. Many of these are household names—The Mayo Clinic, Anheuser-Busch, Lane Bryant, and General Motors. In all there are 14 case studies presented in the book.

The single biggest take-away is called, “The Social Media Equation.” While I will not give it away here, Eve lays out a simple formula that anybody can execute.

Social Media for the CEO can be found on Amazon.com.

Agent Strategies: Focus on AdWords

I was recently inreviewed as part of a story on online marketing strategies.

Focus on AdWords

Written by Alice Allan on July 28, 2010

Crossing paths with a Google employee was the factor that focused Tom Branch's online marketing strategy.

"I sold a property for a Google employee," the Dallas-based RE/MAX broker associate explains. "I traded my services for an AdWords education!"

Branch says a "very focused" AdWords campaign gives him the best return on investment of all his online marketing strategies.

"AdWords can be really expensive unless you carefully build and monitor the results," Branch explains. "I spend about $1500 per year and that generates $30k to $40k in revenue."

But Branch's strategy isn't limited to AdWords alone. "Blogging helps with search engine ranking," he adds. "I'm beginning to experiment with long tail keywords to see if I can take advantage of less competition."

"I do almost no offline advertising these days," Branch says. "There's just no ROI."

If you've been meaning to try out Google AdWords, but are unsure where to start, have a look at this simple how-to video released by the company earlier in the year. And for more on long tail keywords, read our guest explanation by Modern Search creator Joe Hanna here.
