I have just started a small seo consultancy business and the steady income thing is not a major concern for me, as I have a lot of clients who pay in monthly installments. The one thing that I find hard is knowing when to stop work and when I can actually start it. I have a young family so time is a major issue for me.

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.

You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.

It is possible to fail in many ways…while to succeed is possible only in one way.

Wow! What a great job you did on the book! Really, congratulations!

The New Community is full of great information, terrific links, incredible ROI case studies, and the writing style is very easy to understand! The format is awesome! You really have a winner here! I would recommend this to anyone wanting to understand social media better, and those of us who think they do!

Congratulations! – Lon Safko (Author of The Social Media Bible)

Thanks, Darren. Given the speed at which Web 2.0 is evolving, it’s hard to imagine that any book written about it is going to remain relevant for more than five seconds. However, I’ll take your word for it.

Very nifty how you put that clickable link on your vid. Once again, this is something I probably wouldn’t have read, but was happy to watch. So good on you! Best regards, Paul. :)

I love this book. It is probably the first one I’d recommend who is confused by all the social media tools.

I’d also recommend the New Rules of Marketing and PR, by @dmscott, but much of the information in that is too basic for those who understand blogging. The rest, well, blew my mind :-)

One thing I’d like to comment on – and I’ll be expanding on this when I do my own review – is that you shouldn’t JUST focus on social media when it comes to your marketing efforts.

You should also:
- focus on other forms of online marketing
- optimize your site for the search engines
- market to your offline customers

:-) Again, thanks for the review. What motivated you to use video? I’m planning to use video as part of my reviews.

Social Media are not only powerful for marketing but also for linkbuidling.
