The Visual Marketing Revolution: 26 Rules to Help Social Media Marketers Connect the Dots

I just purchased and downnloaded "The Visual Marketing Revolution" to my kindle fire and pc. After seeing the paperback version at Barnes and Noble a few days ago I was extremely impressed. I immediately found it on Amazon in the kindle formatt where all the invaluable links are clickable. I am a full time internet marketer and I know the extreme value of using visuals to provide "revelant content" to my customers. I am extremely happy with my purchase and would like to express a heartfelt appreciation to the author, Stephanie Diamond, for her wonderful efforts, especially all of the relevant links for each example. Again thank you Stephanie.

I've been spending a lot of time lately with The Visual Marketing Revolution: 26 rules to Help Social Media Marketers Connect the Dots. Its the first practical guide for "everyday marketers" I've seen.It delivers the combination of perspective and detail that I've been looking for.Often, visual marketing books provide such a high-level view of the principles that it's difficult to relate the ideas to my own marketing needs.On the other hand, many visual marketing books focus so much on specific examples that they neglect the categories--or specific social media--where visual marketing can be profitably employed.The 26 Rules Visual Marketing Revolution offers the perfect balance. It's four sections (Rules, Tools, Content, and Tactics) proceed from the general to the specific. This helps marketers appreciate the big picture, then proceeds to show how to put ideas into action using email, blogs, and the 8 most popular social media platforms.Whether you're a newcomer to the world of visual marketing in all its forms, i.e., visual planning, infographics, etc., or an accomplished designer looking for specific ways to put visuals to work for yourself and your clients, you'll find what you're looking for in the Visual Marketing Revolution. Lots of ideas and examples, with no fluff. I'm recommending it to my clients.

Stephanie Diamond takes foundational ideas in marketing and explains them clearly (something I need to review even after studying these principles for the past 8 years) in her book "The Visual Revolution." Then she frames what to do based on the psyche of people now (making connections, using Social Media, visual representation, etc.) in a well laid out plan."The Visual Revolution" is a must read, study, use for novices and experts alike. I highly recommend this book.I was so inspired by Diamond's work and that of Sasha Chua who created a visual review of the book in her blog (http://sachachua.com/blog/2013/05/visual-book-review-the-visual-marketing-revolution-stephanie-diamond/), I made a webinar (http://youtu.be/IB39WeGbDAY).This is a sign of an important book when people want to share it in their words, methods, etc.Melissa Burch

I don't write many reviews, but I've got to say, I really am impressed with this book, not only with the style and approach taken (tons of maps, graphics, screenshots, and lots of bullet points), but the amount of high-quality ideas that have been packed into it is amazing!The author's passion and expertise for the topic of visual marketing really shines through in every chapter (all 26 rules).Highly recommended!

Great layout, easy read
