Facebook Marketing for Businesses

by Justin Levy on August 4, 2009

writing-a-bookToday is a special day for me as I announce signing my first book deal.  I have inked a deal with Pearson Education/Que Publishing to write a book tenatively titled Facebook Marketing: Designing Your Next Marketing Campaign.  The book is slated for release in January.

My goal with the book is to provide you with a solid overview of where Facebook has come from, where I believe it’s going and then in between all of that, how you can fully utilize the platform to become a trust agent both as an individual and as a business.  I plan on showing you how to build a marketing plan with Facebook as an integral part of that plan, best in class examples, case studies and a ton more.  This won’t be a gimmicky “you should join Facebook”-type book.  I want this to be the type of book that might get you to look at Facebook through a different lens.  I want this book to give you another cannon on your ship from which fire from.  With this book I want to provide you with maps that will help you to chart a course using Facebook that will be helpful to you and your company.

This is an exciting next phase for me as I’ve always wondered whether I had the chops to write a book.  Now we’ll see.  I love challenges and this certainly is going to be a big challenge for me.  Over the coming weeks and months I’ll take you behind-the-scenes and share my experiences as I go through the processes of writing and releasing a book.

As always, thank you for all of the support that you give me.  My hope is that I’m helpful to you in some way that allows you to grow.

    Justin,
    Congrats on your new book. Thats one hell of an accomplishment, really:-)
  • Way to go Justin!
  • Congratulations, Justin! Old school print with new school digital media, love it. Can't wait to check the book out. Best of luck :)
  • This really sounds exciting, Justin. My experiments with Facebook for event management for Wausau Whitewater are proving effective and I use my own account to reach people who are not fans of WW. My own business (resumes) seems to have largely gotten lost in the dust.
  • Congrats, Justin! Can't wait to read it - very good work.
