As a small business owner from the Baby Boomer generation I have always been behind the Technology Curve when it comes to the internet and mobile platforms, ie. “smart” phones. I was so “retro-tech” that I was totally opposed to texting until very recently (my wife and 3 daughters have had everything to do with that!) Social media had not even entered into my vocabulary until I met Janet Fouts. Through her coaching and reading her fantastic new book I can now hold my own with my Silicon Valley friends and customers. When it comes to understanding the business potential of social networking, Janet’s insights have refocused our advertising efforts to better reach potential clients. Thank you, Janet!
This book is a must have field guide for anyone interested in or wanting to build a solid presence through the many social media platforms online. I even had a chance to have coffee with Janet after reading her book and her words of wisdom and value in building relationships further enforce her good disposition.

The Social Media jungle can be daunting for the newcomer; there are so many choices, each with their own particular flavor and set of rules, how do you begin? And more importantly, how do you SUCCEED? Traditional marketing and sales methods don’t work the same in this world, and one has merely to look at the many people using Social Media unskillfully to see that. This is web 2.0 people, the new math!
Anyone venturing into uncharted waters benefits from a teacher, a guide who has been through it and can show you the way. Janet Fouts is an experienced Social Media coach who can help you make sense of how Social Media is changing the business landscape, and also how you can find your place in it. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to understand these new communication tools and how people and businesses are using them now, with great success.

Ever since LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and the rest crossed into the mainstream, my clients have been asking “Does social media really work for business?” Thanks to Janet Fouts, who has been practicing it professionally and well for more than a decade, I now have proof positive. Her book contains “practical advice and real world examples for social media engagement.” SOCIAL MEDIA SUCCESS is must-reading for everyone working – or playing – online today.
