Benjamin SweeneyIn this latest QuickStart Guide in an ongoing business-book series, digital marketer and author Sweeney wants to challenge the idea that digital marketing is an impenetrable 'black box' that marketers and entrepreneurs will never understand or are discovering too late. Quite the contrary, he insists: 'modern digital marketing methods are intuitive, user-friendly, cost-effective, and more accessible to businesses of all sizes than ever before.' There's no better way to inexpensively publicize elements of one's business, he asserts, than by pursuing a digital marketing strategy, and here he presents the basics of how to proceed. He explains nuts-and-bolts components like search engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising as well as a host of other marketing tools as they might be used in both business-to-business and business-to-customer contexts. He includes clear illustrations throughout to help readers grasp the central concepts, which is particularly helpful as his book gradually deepens into marketing specifics. At every step, Sweeney is direct and accessible, first defining concepts and then explaining them and how they relate to one another, as when he clarifies the necessity for marketers 'to narrow their focus from the TAM-total addressable market-to a subset of the serviceable available market (SAM) that is most likely to purchase'; it's the kind of detailed attention that gives the book broad value for readers looking to learn the mechanics of marketing in general. Indeed, the author's smooth, energetic skill at demystifying this topic is the book's highlight. Readers who were leery or skeptical of online marketing before opening this book will close it feeling confident that they can-and very much should-give it their serious attention

Dave ChessonGundi is a phenomenal marketer and writer and wrote my all-time favorite guest post on Kindlepreneur
Nancee MarinAnother great e-book in the Sassy series! I've learned more about little-known social media tricks, especially YouTube tips. I watch YouTube every day, but I didn't know much about using it in ways other than creating annotations prior to reading this e-book. This e-book helps me save tons of money and time on learning the ins and outs of social media
Lynne BecluThis book is just brilliant! Brimful of information, hints & tips to make Social Media Marketing as easy as 1-2-3
