I received a copy of “Online Reputation Management for Dummies” as part of my participation in the Ambassador program with Global Influence. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% mine.
Shannon,
I feel that it is almost an oxymoron to read a book about something you are supposed to do online. The only real way to learn ORM is to be proactive online and to do it for yourself or to hire an expert who is willing to teach you. Reading a book about this is almost a surefire way to failure in my opinion.
Hi Shannon! Thanks so much for your glowing review! Glad to be able to help.
Randy, LOL! How is one supposed to manage their reputation online without a little (or a lot) of information and step-by-step guides? Did you know all about SEO and monitoring before you ever got online? If so, bravo! If not, at least page through my book at Barnes and Noble before firing off such a ridiculous comment.
