Some different myths looked at when relating to social media (obviously) and how true or untrue they are. Each myth is written like an article for a better understanding about the platforms. Really good for those who want more of an understanding to use social media.

It doesn’t matter where you stand on social media, it’s going to be around for a while. Both individuals and businesses use it, but there are many aspects of social media that have been misunderstood. Myths of Social Media addresses commonly held beliefs that are false, and what is actually true.

Aimed at businesses, the book covers 28 myths, such as social media replaces a website, it causes information bubbles, and that it is full of fake news. For each one, the actual truth is given, and the supporting research is provided. This book can serve as a guide for forming, or redoing, your social media presence. With it, you can better interact with your customers.

There are several myths busted that individuals can benefit from reading. I found several things that I need to look at both for my business and for myself.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

A very useful and interesting book it can be used for business but also for our private social life.
I like the style of writing and how the book is organised.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I use social media both professionally and personally so this book definitely caught my eye. I loved that each chapter presented one myth about social media and then shared research to go along with it. This book was super readable and also quite interesting.

I especially enjoyed the sections on how much to share online, and how to best reach your audience. There were so many helpful parts of this book and whether you use social media as part of your work or just for fun, there really is something for everyone. Thank you to NetGalley and Kogan Page for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Easy to read and very interesting myths about social media. There are 28 myths in this book and each one is put in context with research.

Perfect timing for this book! I’ve been on social media since MySpace so it’s interesting to see how everything has evolved.
