Social Media For Business Workbook - 102 Proven Social Media Headline Formulas

I have written a fair bit on social media for businesses on my blog recently.

How Do You Use Social Media For Small Business?
12 Social Media Tactics In My Marketing Plan
7 Cross-Cultural Skills For Businesses To Master Social Media
Content Marketing To Reach International Markets
Links And International Social Networking

But I'm a strategy person, a small business person and an international business person... and I usually talk about social media from those angles.

Chris Garrett is starting a Social Media For Business Workbook.  Chris' workbook will cover a wider range of topics and, well... it's a workbook.  If you are like me and interested in using social media to develop your business, you might want to click on that link to sign up for updates.

He has started off by giving away a free PDF with 102 Proven Social Media Headline Formulas.  It is downloadable immediately. 

Many people know Chris from his long standing blog on social media, ChrisG.com. You might also know him from his presence at various social media events and teleseminars. He's the shy bloke with the British accent who knows a heck of a lot about social media.

But I got to know Chris last year, when I did my own survey of social media experts, looking for the person who practiced social media in a style that I wanted to imitate.   That is why I signed up for his Authority Blogger Course about a year ago.  In fact, Authority Blogger was where I learned just about everything I know about social media... with a lot of help and support from the people in the Authority Blogger Forum.  You see it was not just a course, it was also a great little community.  There is a fun group of people in the that forum. 

And by the way, the Authority Blogger forum is FREE.  Chris gives away lots of value for free. That's one of the reasons why I am going to be following the Social Media For Business Workbook :)
