I’ve been blogging since 2005. I started at Blogger and discovered WordPress in January 2007. I’ve had two self-hosted blogs and have been programming in WordPress exclusively since then.

North San Diego Business came out of a need to show the small business community, in 2006, what a blog looked like, and what it could do. To that end, the weekly North San Diego Business At Large podcast came into being.

When Facebook and Twitter came into the small business community you saw a plethora of “social media masters” come out of the woodwork. Their fees ran the gamete, but were usually pretty hefty. One firm was asking $500 a month for their services. It seemed to me that some were cashing in on the craze. More power to them!

However, some in the small business community were left in the dust. Dazed and confused, they left business sponsored social media events without a clue how to implement social media into their business.

So when I hear of yet another Social Media Mastery series I have to ask a few questions, especially when the series costs you an arm and a leg. Here are the questions I would ask.

• How long has the “social media master” been around?
• Does the “social media master” have a blog?
• Are they blogging regularly?
• Have they been blogging long?
• Is their blog at wordpress.com or blogger.com?
  (there are some exceptions to this question)
• Do they have a Facebook profile?
• How many friends do they have?
• Do they have a Facebook page?
• Do they have any custom pages on their Facebook page?
• How many fans do they have?
• How many connections on Linkedin?
• How many followers do they have on Twitter compared to how many Tweets they’ve sent out?
• Do they share information online or just promote themselves and their services/products?
• Do their course outlines tell you what you’ll be learning?
• Have you heard of them before?

Where can you get a lot of information about social media without shelling out a lot of your hard earned money?

I just received my Amazon order. I invested in some new books so I can keep abreast of the changes in social media. I already own Social Media Marketing: An Hour A Day and Blog Marketing and wanted to purchase Mari Smith’s new book, Facebook Marketing: An Hour A Day. It only made sense to pick up YouTube and Video Marketing: An Hour A Day, and the newest book out…Success Secrets of the Social Media Marketing Superstars.

I’ll be reading this last book over the two next weeks and will give you a recap of each section. It covers strategies, principles, applications, and social media websites.

I highly recommend any of the above books as fabulous additions to your social media library. Let me know what you think? What’s your favorite social medial book?
