He examines popular tales of social media "success," and reveals some unsettling truths behind the surface. And he tells you how to best harness the potential of the Internetâ€”without spending a fortune in the process.,Social media is bullshit. This book gives the knowledge and tools you ,really, need to connect with customers and grow your brand.
