We are introducing our July Book of the Month, Get Seen: Online Video Secrets to Building Your Business by Steve Garfield. 

We asked ten of our Professional members and chapter leaders to read Get Seen on behalf of Social Media Club, here are some excerpts from their reviews,  

This well written and very textbook like read provides readers with great tips for getting video on the web starting with recommended tools like cameras, the proper lighting and editing.

Garfield references popular examples of the use of video to build buzz. He was able to land a short interview with Jimmy Fallon, who explained how he used video blogging and Twitter to build awareness for his late night talk show.

In an effort to continue discussion and connect our Social Media Club community with our featured Book Club authors, we are hosting a complimentary webinar on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at 2pm EDT with Steve Garfield, Author of Get Seen.

The Social Media Book Club will feature social media's most innovative thought leaders, who have written books that can help our global community learn, improve and share.  We have selected several titles we will be introducing to you at the beginning of each month and have asked several of our Professional members and chapter leaders to help us review the monthly titles.
