The book I chose was "The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users" by Guy Kawasaki.
1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?
The books main theme was using social media in promoting a business. It talked about using social media effectively in promoting your business.
2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
This book really helped enhance the ideas of effectively growing and marketing your business. It tied in with what we have talked about with networking and making connections to benefit your business. It took these ideas and gave tips on networking specifically through social media.
3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
I would design an exercise that requires students to create a mock social media account for their proposed business. This way they can learn to effectively create profile pictures, cover photos and bio sections, and also learn about making connections on social media.
4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?
I think the only thing that differed from what I expected was the general "no nonsense" tone of the book. It was not all feel good material. It was straight forward and to the point. This was an aspect that I enjoyed, but it did surprise me somewhat.
Hello Robert, great post. Personally, this was one of the few books that stood out to me from among the rest on the reading list. However, I did not choose this book but I’m glad I get to read a little bit about it through your post. I believe that it is very important for a business to effectively utilize social media if they have the intent to promote their business. Nice choice and great work!
