The author starts by speaking about how to best market yourself online because nowadays with the explosion of social media that's prevalent everywhere, most things said about you do become permanent. As a solution, this author offers solutions to manage your online reputation for a business or personal status. And the best one is to fix every problem quickly, and never accept something that happens as final. This book would be beneficial for any students look for an entrepreneurial experience after graduation because starting up a business can obviously be stressful, tumultuous and difficult. It'd also be useful for students interested in marketing in general because it speaks greatly to how to mend PR-related damages that occur pretty frequently. The organization and casual tone made it really easy for me to read and understand what the author was trying to convey.
