If you’re a small business owner or entrepreneur who wants to learn the basics about social media, including tips for how to get started with social networking, social bookmarking, blogging, microblogging, and more, then keep reading!

John Jantsch of Duct Tape Marketing fame wrote an ebook about social media for small business owners, which anyone can download for free.  It’s a 23-page PDF document that was sponsored by Microsoft Office Live Small Business.  Social media is one of my areas of expertise, so I downloaded the ebook and took a look through it.  I found it to be a great primer to help small business owners and entrepreneurs leverage social media to jumpstart their businesses.
