When social media emerged on the scene, many only saw it as a entertaining online meeting site. Who knew it would become so much more? With the advancement of technology and the ability to reach millions through numerous websites and apps, social media has exploded into one of the premier advertising and marketing tools to date.
Still, getting your brand, product, service and BOOK to the masses takes a bit of finesse.
