DESCRIPTION
http://careerenlightenment.com I was laid off twice in 6 months in 2008 when the economy tanked. I learned how to use social media to get to job interviews fast. But I was still traumatized from the lay-offs and couldn’t bring myself to accept any of the job offers I was getting. So rather than wallow in self-pity, I started teaching other job seekers what I knew about the social media job search. This desire to help turned into a blog, that became internationally syndicated. And eventually, turned into a book for Wiley called, Job Searching With Social Media For Dummies I’ve learned a lot of lessons moving from Blogger to author that I think will be valuable for the audience, including how to get a book deal, how writing for a book will blow you a way (in comparison to blog writing) and how to launch the s**t out of a book in order to rank on Amazon.

MY OWN BUSINESS
Hi Pete,Here is a summary of what I can offer:
- I teach social media frameworks to job seekers- I have enough content for a very detailed how-to book- I have 1,300 loyal subscribers and 10s of thousands of Twitter fans, many of whom would buy a book
There is HUGE demand for this material right now and no one else is teaching it comprehensively and systematically.
Who can I talk to about taking the next steps with this project at Wiley?
Joshua’s topic came up in a meeting last week as one to explore further, so the timing is perfect. That said, I’d love to speak with Joshua – please encourage him to contact me directly. Best, Senior Acquisitions Editor | Wiley Publishing
