No B.S. Guide to Direct Response Social Media Marketing: The Ultimate No Holds Barred Guide to Producing Measurable, Monetizable Results with Social Media Marketing Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 202 ratings

Everyone’s Talking About It.
But Nobody Knows What They’re Talking About.


Social Media Examiner’s 2018 Social Media Marketing Industry Report found that only 10% of respondents strongly agree that they can measure ROI—yet half of them will dedicate increased time and money to social media marketing instead of cutting back.

Millionaire maker Dan S. Kennedy, joined by marketing strategist Kim Walsh Phillips, tells it like it is: If you’re not focusing on converting traffic into sales, you might as well set your money on fire.

Kennedy and Walsh Phillips open up their playbook and show you how to stop being a social media victim and accepting non-monetizable “likes” and “shares” as a return on your time, money, and energy and start using your platform for its true purpose—as another channel to reach customers, gain leads and make sales. Learn how to:

  • Turn passive content into an active conversion tool
  • Become a lead magnet with social media profiles that focus on the needs of ideal prospects (not the product or service)
  • Create raving fans who introduce you to their networks
  • Turn niches into riches, laser in on your perfect prospects and ignore the “tire kickers”
  • Harness the biggest secret in social media—offline

Discover the principles behind successful marketing campaigns and start making dollars and cents out of your social media strategy.

Brilliant book for someone just starting out, someone who has dabbled and someone who has spent thousands of dollars in social media advertising.Before reading (and listening) to Kim and Dan's book, I was nervous about using social media advertising. I had tried and failed miserably following some other "guru's" advice. Using the simple steps and actually finding my perfect client, I am now confident that the strategies will work. I have tried a few and have significantly grown my followers on my Facebook page (from a few hundred to over 8,000) will a very low ad spend, especially compared to how much I wasted before.I have also heard from so many marketing people that I need to be branding... just spending money on ads so people know who I am without an offer. I really appreciate the book's approach that branding should be a byproduct of marketing. There needs to be data to support paid advertising, which requires an offer and positive ROI for each ad to keep running.Not only do they do a great job of explaining the whole process in terms I could understand and keep my attention, they go into the importance of follow up and how to implement several streams of follow up.Thank you Kim for joining forces with Dan and getting this book to the masses.

    Great read that challenges you on every page. I truly enjoyed the wisdom and know-how on every page.

    If you buy it, you mess up my competitive edge. Kim Walsh Phillips is a world-class expert in social media direct marketing. She proves it every day, and she's put her winning formulas into this book. I've been trying to buy-up all the printed copies, but she's now made it available electronically, so it looks like my efforts to shut her down have failed (dang it!).

    Seriously, though...If you want to discover how to use social media marketing to generate leads, convert them and create a reliable income stream, there's no-one better to learn from (and no book better to read) than Kim. So...please don't buy it!

    Seriously no BS! Used a lot of it in my business and it’s working! Sits on my desk to refer to all the time! Valuable information!!

    This book is awesome! I was so excited to get my copy today! Not only is the information great for me - but I'll recommend it to all my clients getting started with social media.
    I loved seeing the photos of Kim's social media posts and her thinking behind WHY she chose a particular photo and how she creates Open Loops and hooks.
    And in Chapter 14 - Dan Kennedy's info on creating effective calls to action is worth 10x the the price of the book!

    Many times when you buy a second edition of a book, there is a heavy overlap between the first and second editions. Not so here - this is a totally new and much improved product. It is many ways much more tactical than the first edition. I count marketing books as worthwhile if they give me the proverbial "one good idea". This one did that many times over. Really, really well done!

    Probably only 10% of this book is Dan Kennedy. His sections are fire as always, Kim's advice on the other hand just wasn't super remarkable. Given that Dan doesn't use any of the social media sites, he doesn't really have a ton of practical experience / anecdotes to point to on this subject like he does in all his other books -- and it really kinda seemed like he just phoned this in and published this book for the sake of having something published on it. It's not bad. It's just, a "Dan Kennedy book" on social media when the guy doesn't use social media -- ie someone else writes about the subject and he just jumps in at a few spots here and there.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not revolutionary but still a good read.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 21, 2024
    The book goes through some topics that have been re-worked many time but could well be adopted by the many social ads blasted around each day.

    It's covers some good topics to view certain aspects of SMM in a different light but, all comes down to the bases of converting viewers/customers into raving fans, social proof (recommendations) and splitting traffic into cold and warm leads.

    It won't give you all the answers but may make you think of things from a different perspective - worth a read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and fun to read
    Reviewed in Italy on January 18, 2023
    There is a ton of useful advice in this book. Some sections are very practical but stop short of telling you HOW to carry out the advice. That's ok. It's not meant to be a how-to manual. Other sections are highly detailed on the HOW - but throughout, it is always clear why the advice is sound: real examples abound. And the two writers, while having differing styles and approaches come together to make the reading, even cursory, enjoyable and rife with tidbits of actions to immediately put into play. Dan Kennedy is delightfully amusing and Kim Walsh Phillips practical and knowledgeable.

    The book was highly recommended to me by experienced digital marketing pros - I can't help but do the same!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2023
    Chapter 1 begins "Regardless of the media, be profit focused." And, I think that is what this piece of media is, a rather grotesque product made purely for profit. The book has no less than 13 links to lure you into getting a *Powerpack* which promises free training, cheat sheets, etc., etc. But, the Powerpack is worthless, unless perhaps you were to print it off and place it at the bottom of a birdcage. It is poorly formatted, and only full of links that lead to offers for further products - none of it free.

    I strongly advise you not to buy this product.
