ShoeMoney has Twitter Power

Posted March 12th, 2009 by Jeremy Schoemaker

Just got my autographed copy of Twitter Power by New York Times best selling Author Joel Comm.

In short, is a manual on “How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time.”

The book starts off with a brief introduction to Social Media, and then goes on to discuss how Twitter was founded.  Joel then does a great job of discussing how to get started using Twitter.  Describing the Art of the Tweet, how to build a following and using Twitter to build your brand.  Some are calling this the definitive guide on Twitter for business.

Joel does a great job covering about anything you can possible think of in this book in regards to twitter. Good stuff.

Its only $15 on Amazon.

    This blogs sucks. I came here because it was a big money-maker. It’s just a bunch of crap. I did like the blurb (among other extremely short blurbs) about Obama, though. Other than that, I cannot figure out why this such a big money maker.

    I’ve been on Twitter since 2006, I go back and check it every once in a while but I’m still not “hooked” yet. Maybe it’s just not for me?

    What I am bewildered by is the size of the book. I have read plenty of ebooks about twitter and I slightly struggle to see how you could fill a book that size with all useful info.

    Maybe this will be the kick I need to finally get my Tweet on. I’ll grab a copy asap – thanks for the review.

    I also like underlining working in the text,it helps me greatly because I choose what I need and will apply at the present moment.In spite of the book being dirty the work becomes more productive.

    I won a copy of the signed, Twitter Power book over at Zac Johnson’s blog @moneyreign on Twitter.

    Joel Comm is Live on UStream TV every Wednesday at 1:00 PM EST (10:00 AM PST). He and Dan Nickerson are very entertaining, and can hook you up with a simul-cast if you ask!

    Respectfully,

    I might have to take a look at this book seeing how I’m a noob to twitter and how Twitter is taking off.
    Also since you are beginning a twitter war with Disa Johnson that book might come in handy for you. lol

    Sometimes I wonder how certain marketers get so much done. Joel Comm seems like he has a lot of things going at once.

      I know! I wish I was able to get as much down as he does. I guess Time Management is everything. Otherwise he sleeps only a couple hours a night and the rest he is working hard.

      I bet he has a lot of people working for him and performing the easy tasks.

      Or may be he got the great team which is working for him. But to manage the team also you should know the art of delegation.

    From your basic rundown, the book looks like a pretty solid buy. Twitter is really exploding userbase wise, and a lot of companies seem to now be realizing it. Competition is increasing on twitter, and being able to establish a brand is definitely huge in reaching success.

    Just saw this book at the local book store. It looked like a book that I would like to buy, but the retail price ( $24.95), seemed a bit high. At $15 on Amazon its worth buying.

    What Joe is writing a book on twitter NOW ??

    What he is doing ?? Sleeping

    Joe you have missed your market share this time and this is really a big loss to you for Twitter subject.

      How exactly is this a big loss? Sure he’s not the first to do, but he’s doing it at a time when Twitter is truly exploding. Not to mention his name speaks for itself.

        Mate if you will deliver the right thing at right time than people will use more.

        Let me tell you with an example Jeremy earned huge money from adsense because he have started that at the early stage and at that time adsense was paying really great money … but now every blogger is using adsense and hence make more competition so you are getting less pay.

        I hope I am clear :)

          Well, it really depends on what the blogger is doing. There are still people making a living off Adsense, while others are only making pennies.

    I agree that Joel does a great job, Twitter is the next level social media that can turn your sales on if you know how to use it. I’ve also heard the acquisitions issue of Twitter and Google, what’s the buzz?

      Google certainly would love to buy this one … but let us enjoy this service first … I know when Google will acquire this we will be able to see long TOS for that … :)

        Your this means – Twitter ??

        Google have past about acquiring companies. You Tube, Blogger, Feedbuner are the perfect example of it.

    So one more person who is telling the magic of Twitter. But I think this time Joe is bit late … as Twitter already touched the high level and thousands people utilising it to make money.

      Yeah quite agree with you but he have great number of followers on twitter as well … its around 25336.

      Books from Joe is always worthy. I read his book on Adsense and that one really helped me to earn good amount of money from adsense.

      Interesting thing is his adsense tricks are still providing me money.

    Jeremy, when are you going to be releasing your own book? I think if you published your own book that was a comprehensive type guide to launching a website, it would do really good.

    the best way to read that big book should be .read,digest and implement,pass the section you already know and open up Google analytic to see what is going on after wards,yet I read this book,but at Joel Comm Adwords guide I know I found some inspiration I never thought before..hope this does to

    I agree that Joel does a lot of great stuff. My thought on the book, though: is it really necessary or did he simply jump on the wave of popularity of Twitter to make a buck?

    I haven’t read the book, so what say you, Jeremy?

    • Good Comment?
      Hip Hop Music

      If I were to venture a guess, I’d say a little bit of both. Why not do something to make a buck? And Twitter is expanding crazy fast. Heck, we were just talking about it on Wednedsay in my class, considering how we as future teachers can utilize twitter as a learning tool.
