Social media marketing is essential if you run a business, and this book is a great resource. Advice is easy to follow and the book is also enjoyable to read, which isn't always the case with business books!

There are currently 200,000+ businesses out there using Instagram to promote their products and services. I was hoping to get some information on just general promoting from this book but it is really geared more towards selling - but there are still some good tips that can be used in both cases. To follow up, you can also visit UGIGbook.com. Some of the tips that I took to heart are - Don't spam. Don't be too chicken to post. There is a lot of information on how to set up your account and guides to some of the photo effects you can use. There's also a list of popular hashtags - if yours are relevant that can help you get more traffic to your posts and account. There's a lot of great content on giveaways and getting interaction between your brand and your followers. You want to build trust with your followers. There's also a list of apps to check out to help out with your account, some that I am going to be checking out include: fontcandy, histamatic, Schedulegram, facetune and Later. Again, if you are someone trying to sell a product or a service, this book has lots of valuable information in it that you won't want to miss out on.

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.

3,5 stars for this book.

If you are new to Instagram marketing, you should definitely read this book. It's filled with interesting tips and insights, and also features interviews with successful brands.

It's heavily focused on driving sales and turning followers into customers. For me, this focus on selling was a bit too much, but I'm sure there are plenty of businesses that will benefit from this strategy.

For me personally it gave me the reassurance that I'm on the right track with my social media marketing.

Staying in touch with social media is a must in this day and age...especially if you are a small business. If you are new to Instagram and want to know what its about, how to set up an account, and the basics of using Instagram for business this book is a must for you to get started. Not too many books just about this one subject and you can work your way through it step by step to get your account going.

This is a very useful guide, particularly for someone starting his or her Instagram journey. It starts from the setting up of the account until the monetization stage and beyond. In addition to describing and introducting various tools and apps that can improve the success rate, it also shares experience of successful Instagram users, which gives even more depth to the business story. Strongly recommended to businesses at the beginning of their Instagram experience.

I think over time that this book will really help me out with posting to Instagram and other soical media accounts.

This book is perfect for anyone who uses social media for their business or blog. I found this to be a very informative book that not only tells you how to use Instagram but the reasons why it will help. This book is a the kind of book that I will keep going back to. Walsh-Phillips helps teach you how to create the right details using hashtags, clear pictures and marketing advertising offers that are available. She also discusses how choosing a business name instead of your name will help others with the same interest has yours find you. I highly recommend this book.

This book is one for you if you are on social media to sell your product, whatever it may be.

My friend has a business she runs on Etsy, but she also has an Instagram page too for advertising and this book shows she is doing the right thing to me and potential customers.

The book talks from Kim's point of view about how she got her business started and all the hard work for little pay at first it does take before a business flourishes.

She advises us through creating the right details in the form of searchable hash tags, clear pictures and utilizing marketing advertisement offers available. Also the importance of choosing a business name not just your name to create more chance of others finding you based on their interests.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book!
