			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://simple-books.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/simple-social-media-makes-you-money.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-56 alignleft" style="margin-top: 1px; margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="simple-social-media-makes-you-money" src="http://simple-books.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/simple-social-media-makes-you-money-246x300.jpg" alt="simple social media is a book that can help make you money" width="138" height="168" /></a>“Social” </strong>is a critical aspect of any <strong>small business strategy</strong>. The problem is that many resources that discuss social media are written from the perspective of its <strong>tools</strong> and do not necessarily cover useful business strategies.</p>
<p>Bogged-down in <strong>complex technical discussions</strong>, small business managers end up turning away from social media because they <strong>simply don’t see how it applies to their business</strong>, or, don’t understand how it’ll provide any <strong>real value</strong> to their customers.</p>
<p>Sure, many business managers would agree that <strong>social media seems valuable</strong>, but how do you measure its benefits? Without the technical mumbo-jumbo, how does it contribute to <strong>competitive advantage</strong>? What are the <strong>driving forces</strong> behind social media? What are some <strong>practical ways </strong>to leverage social media to extend value to customers? Are there <strong>financial returns</strong>? Is there a planning process to running a <strong>social media campaign</strong>? How can a small business start using social media effectively <strong>tomorrow</strong>?</p>
<p><strong>Simple Social Media</strong> was written for the small business manager in mind, to both confront these problems and to provide a practical understanding of the strategies behind social media lend to <strong>real, material benefits</strong>.</p>
