A Survival Guide to Social Media and Web 2.0 Optimization: Strategies, Tactics, and Tools for Succeeding in the Social Web, the long-awaited book written by social media consultant Deltina Hay, will be available from Wiggy Press the first week in May. The book is designed for use as a do-it-yourself handbook or textbook, demonstrating how to use the tools of Web 2.0 to build a successful and impressive Social Web presence. The companion CD is packed with links to other resources, directories of Social Websites, and fillable forms and worksheets to help users map their strategies.

This is a landmark book that brings the long touted Web 2.0 into the mainstream. It is designed for use by individuals, businesses, and students in the classroom. Avoiding tech talk where possible, the book demonstrates step-by-step how to create and use the most advanced Web 2.0 tools, most of which are free or inexpensive.

A no-nonsense guide to social media and Web 2.0, this book arms readers with the nuts and bolts of the new, open-source Internet through hands-on, real world examples. From WordPress to Facebook, Flickr to YouTube, wikis, widgets, blogs, and RSS feeds, Deltina Hay demonstrates how businesses and individuals can create and use these tools to maximize their Web presence and profit from doing so. “Deltina’s book will help you make the best use of social media. Read it. Use it. Put it into practice,” John Kremer, author of1001 Ways to Market Your Books, said.

The book is available for purchase on Amazon, from our distributor Midpoint Trade Books, or directly from Dalton Publishing.
