I was lucky recently to get an advance copy of Laura Roeder’s new Kindle e-book, Facebook Fame.

I didn’t figure I’d learn much, but I was wrong. Laura’s got a whole bunch of tips and tricks in addition to the basics, and I like her whole approach to FB.

Check out her launch party for the book.

Here’s my review:

This is a great book about making a name for your business on Facebook. It covers the basics, so it’s good for someone who is just starting out, but Laura Roeder also sneaks in some advanced tips and techniques. I’ve been helping a non-profit’s Facebook page for over a year, but a couple of things here were new to me, and I know I’ll use them.

Here’s a small example. Laura walks you through how to choose whether to post on your page “as your page” or as yourself. This is something that’s pretty confusing when you’re starting out, and it was even confusing to me as someone who had been a page admin for a year. (I don’t think you used to be able to do it, but without Laura’s book I never would have figured out you could.)

The book also shows you how to get more info out of your Facebook insights. Honestly I’d only ever looked at the overview, but there’s a lot more information available.

Overall, though, the basic mindset that Laura Roeder operates from is more important than any particular tip. She understands how to use Facebook without getting used by it. And she understands what Facebook is good for an what it’s not. You’ll save a lot of time and effort by following her advice because you’ll focus on what works and builds your business rather than on distractions that don’t.
