Download or read book Quick Guide to Networking Social Media and Social Capital written by Liz Broomfield and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-03-06 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worried about networking, confused about how to use social media, not sure if it's all worth it anyway? Looking for someone to explain it all in simple terms and help you decide how to use it all to benefit your business? Running a business and not yet engaged with social media? Wondering if there's any point starting a business blog? Not sure whether having a website is the right thing to do? This quick guide takes the worry out of networking and social media by explaining how to do it and the benefits in simple terms which will benefit you and your business, creating social capital and explaining what that is. Well-known New York Times bestselling author-entrepreneur Joanna Penn of thecreativepenn.com has this to say about the book: "This book will help you to understand the more detailed nuance of social media ... as well as how to be generous on the networks and work for mutual benefit with your connections. There's also a section on the psychology of networking for introverts, which is helpful as many people feel their personality holds them back online. I particularly like the summing up section, where Liz advises "Be kind." If everyone online followed this advice, the world would be a fantastic place! A useful little book for the newbie social networker." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You should buy this book if you want to find out more about using social media and physical networks to grow your influence and business. If you're looking for a more general book on growing your business, you would do better to have a look at my other business books: find out more at www.lizbroomfieldbooks.com. If you already have my second business book, "Running a Successful Business After the Start-up Phase," or my business omnibus, "Your Guide to Starting and Running your Business," then lots of the information in this quick guide is covered there. I don't want to rip you off, so if you've already got those, don't buy this one unless you want just this info in an easy-to-find format. Although I give you lots of hints on networking and marketing, if you're looking for a book about network marketing (think Amway and Forever Living) this one is not specifically on that topic; such companies have particular ways of operating and are not what I'm talking about here. Otherwise, buy and enjoy!

This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One December I stopped being part-time employed / part-time self-employed and took the big, exciting (and scary) step into full-time self-employment. Except it wasn't scary, because I'd worked, planned, set goals and knew when it was time to do it. In this book I share exactly how I got to that stage. No tricks, no schemes to buy into, no promises of wealth on very little effort - just the concrete ways in which I planned, measured, built and worked hard to have the flexible and comfortable lifestyle I now enjoy. I'm passionate about helping other small business owners see that they, too, can take the plunge: that they don't have to be a beardy entrepreneur, give up everything and live on nothing: that you can do it carefully and safely, building your own safety net until you can fly free. This book is a mixture of diary entries and useful articles that will help you to find out ... - whether self-employment is for you - how to establish a business while maintaining your employment - how to set goals - how to network - how to measure your social media and website success - how to manage your days so you stay healthy - how to achieve a good work-life balance - how to dress to work at home

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LIVES FALL APART WHEN THE STASI ARCHIVES ARE OPENED Berlin 1989. The Wall comes down, the regime collapses, the secret police files are opened. In communist East Germany, people spent their lives looking over their shoulders. Anyone could be an informant for the dreaded Stasi. Friends informed on friends, children on parents, husbands on wives. Everything they said went into the files. Matthias, a cellist, and Anne, a violinist, spent five years together in Leipzig. They played music, and stayed out of politics. Until Anne was killed in a car crash in France, they were happy. At least, that's what Matthias thought. But after Anne's death, he sees his file, and his illusions are shattered. He believed she loved him. That's not what the file says. -Seeing your file can be a shock, Fraulein Schroeder told me. Sometimes you have to go back into your soul and consider the whole of your life in a different light.- Anne is no longer there to answer questions. Matthias must follow her trail back to Uzes to learn the truth.
