11/25/20 • 22 min

Let's explore ten of the best social media marketing books. Each of these books provides a unique and valuable perspective. And, rather than focusing on any one social network, most of the books here address the high level skills that apply to ANY platform.
Topics include: how to create viral content, how to attract loyal followers, how to influence people, how to build trust and authority, and perhaps most important how to build initial momentum when first getting started. So if you're interested in learning more about social media marketing, I recommend that you review the books in this list.

#049: Become More Persuasive with INFLUENCE by Dr. Robert Cialdini - Book Summary #25

Let's explore three key insights from INFLUENCE: The Psychology of Persuasion by Dr. Robert Cialdini. This is an interesting book because its original intent was to help people avoid being persuaded by the various techniques covered in it. And yet, despite that goal, it’s become a popular manual for salespeople, marketers, and leaders that want to be more influential or persuasive.
I’m always hesitant to recommend a book like this, because some readers may be tempted to abuse the techniques in order to manipulate other people. So in this episode, I’m going to provide examples of both the right way and the wrong way to apply three of the six principles. That way you can get a taste of what to expect from the book, and a sense of how to use these ideas in an ethical way.
