Chapter 1. The Basics of Having Fun and Building Skills

Chapter 2. Skillbox: Content
Abstract
This chapter takes a look at content related to social media, including tools you can use to “do it yourself”. You can think of it as a toolbox of skills, or a skillbox. You’ll take a tour of some of the things you should try when working with social media.

Chapter 3. Facebook Pages
Abstract
The goal of this chapter is to introduce the concept of Facebook pages and walk through the process of creating one. The chapter starts off with a discussion of what a Facebook page is, as well as the pros and cons of using Facebook, and then there’s a tour of creating one. If you have not created a Facebook page before, I recommend giving it a shot, even if you don’t have an “official” project yet. As with many free tools these days, you can come back and delete it.
Todd Kelsey
Chapter 4. Facebook Ads
Abstract
This chapter is an introduction to Facebook ads, which are commonly used for social media marketing. There’s some discussion of the type of ads and the traditional value of using them, as well as some things that have changed in Facebook as new types of ads have been introduced. You also have an opportunity to create a Facebook ad.
Todd Kelsey
Chapter 5. Twitter
Abstract
This chapter looks at Twitter as a social media marketing channel, discusses its pros and cons, and walks through the process of creating a Twitter account.
Todd Kelsey
Chapter 6. LinkedIn
Abstract
This chapter takes a brief look at LinkedIn and talks about how it can be incorporated into a social media marketing strategy, including looking at LinkedIn pages, which can be created for a company or for an individual. We also touch on LinkedIn groups and cover LinkedIn’s increasing options for advertising.
Todd Kelsey
Chapter 7. Hootsuite
Abstract
In this chapter, we’re going to look at Hootsuite, a tool that helps you manage social media by providing assistance on developing and posting content to multiple social networks. It’s part of the “skill toolbox” that I recommend exploring. If you haven’t created a blog, Facebook page, Twitter account, and LinkedIn page yet, I recommend reviewing the first chapters in this book and creating those accounts. You can get something out of this chapter simply by reviewing it, but I recommend setting up those accounts and then “connecting” them to Hootsuite. The LinkedIn page isn’t strictly necessary, but I recommend setting the goal of having 2-3 social media accounts to post to.

Chapter 8. Social Media Monitoring and Analytics
Abstract
This chapter looks at the practice of social media monitoring, which is also known as social listening. It’s an important part of social media marketing. We’ll also take a look at social analytics, which can help you see how your social media efforts are going. We’ll explore several related tools and try things out.
