I had the opportunity to see Chris Brogan and Julien Smith share a little bit of the content of their new book Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust
When I returned home I immediately pre-ordered two. I got my copies right before the weekend and last night I dove in! It is everything that I expected and more! I am not done, although it won’t take long, the content is so good, but I wanted to tell you to go out and buy this book!
If you are still trying to figure out what social media is all about
, this book will give you insight into how “today’s online influencers are web natives who trade in trust, reputation, and relationships, using social media to accrue the influence that builds up or brings down businesses online.”
If you ever have the opportunity to meet Chris Brogan you will immediately see that he is just as friendly, warm, and inviting in person as he is on his blog or his newsletters. He is gracious and helpful and there is no question that he is someone you can trust when it comes to his recommendations, his observations and his work. That is because he personifies the characteristics of a friend.
So whether you are getting into social media and want to emulate the actions that have made Chris and Julie successful trust agents, or you want to understand how to work with an online influencer, or just want to read a very good book, Trust Agents
Follow Chris Brogan on Twitter
And now, since I did buy 2 copies, I am giving one away! Just leave a comment about why you want to check out this book and I will select a random winner next Wednesday (8/26/09) to send you my extra copy!
