A while back I hosted a contest for Peter Guber’s book Tell To Win. Well, the winner of that contest was Gaspare Marturano. Gaspare is an author in his own right and he decided to pay it forward with a little contest with his book. He’s agreed to offer 3 copies of his book SocializeWith.Me: Or Someone Else Will as a giveaway. He sent me a pre-release copy that I read the other day. The book is a quick read and it is in my opinion a primer for anyone who is interested in getting into social media. Gaspare outlines the major places to be and the tools to use to become adept as social networking.

I think that his book is great for a beginner and it has many good points. For me this was all review because I’ve been doing this for about 8 years and I have been doing many of the practices that were in the book. So, if you are stuck where you are and don’t see yourself becoming more social online no matter what you try then you’ll be able to garner some great tips in SocializeWith.Me.

So, how can you win a copy?

To enter the contest you’re going to do some socializing with me and with Gaspare.
