Viralnomics was concise summary of what will always be true: human nature probably won't change much, and you can use that knowledge (hopefully for good) to build your business. It's a great reminder to be far less self-interested, and be far more interested in how others are feeling, what their desires are, and why they do what they do.
For some reason, this is a hard lesson for people (myself included) to learn. Viralnomics is a refresher course is how to leverage social networks by reminding us that it's actually not about the network — it's about the people that use them.

I LOVED this book! It is filled with valuable advice. It breaks down what is important online and how to make posts.
It is not important to have information, you have to know how to deliver it. You should always be open to share your knowledge, but do it in a way to spark interest of your audience. Goodman explains what kind of audience you want to attract, and how to do it. The analogy of carpenter ants is riveting.

This book is amazing. I actually finished it yesterday, but immediately reread it again so I could male a note of all the actions that I had highlighted.
I actually got this book as a free download on Kindle Unlimited but because I knew how valuable it will be for me to keep referring to, I’ve actually paid for a copy that I can keep.
Thoroughly recommend for anyone that is starting their own business and what’s to build their social media profile. It doesn’t matter what tour business is, this book will help. I really can not recommend enough

Basically a series of thoughts and ideas on how to grow your reputation, your brand, your business.
There’s nothing too ground breaking. This book is an easy read, a read that you will for sure be happy you finished.
If you are in the Fitness Industry and want to grow on social media this book is a must.
I’d probably say it’s a 3.5/5 in terms of writing, but Jonathan has given me so much value I’ve rated it 5/5.

This book is fantastic! It's interesting, relevant, useful and concise. I listened to the audio book and it kept my attention from beginning to end. I was disappointed it finished so quickly - I could have listened for hours more. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to up their game in social media & Marketing.

Jon Goodman is well-known in the Personal Training world as a guru. As someone who has read all of his other books, this book did not surprise me one bit with its generous information and food for thought writing. A great read into the world of viral media.

Tonnes of ready-to-apply strategies in building your business on the social media. Jon dives into the psychology aspect unfolding what makes a difference between you and the other guy, your product and the alternative. Must read for anyone who can't decide with social media to choose.

Some new concepts, some old
Some new concepts, some old. It's a nice to have but not a must. Not specific to the training community

Best Book about Social Media Marketing that I've ever read
This is seriously probably the only book that you need to read if you want to know how to get into the minds of social media users and use that to your advantage in business. It's very straightforward and easy to understand. The author is amazing at giving real life examples of things that you can try and apply. I had to stop reading a couple of times to apply some of his strategies or just look at some of my social media feeds to see what he's talking about in action. Very exciting read! I feel like I know so much more about social marketing now--and I've been doing this for 5 years.

This book should be mandatory reading for fitness professionals or really any business who is looking to improve their relationship with their clients through social media.
Jonathan provides some amazing content and sets the bar high as an example of someone who is in the field for the right reasons and is trying to effect positive change in the fitness industry.
If you happen to come across this review Jonathan, thank you so much for what you do and I look forward to shaking your hand someday and thanking you in person.

Great timeless read!
Jon has a knack for telling it like it is. This book was not another "how to do social media" but instead a "how to appeal to people using social media". And that distinction is key because even though the tools may change, people will forever be the same. As a result, this book is truly a timeless read.

I think this is an excellent book for those who find the tasks of networking and marketing in the digital age daunting, yet realize they'll need to develop such skills to succeed in their fields. This book isn't the last word on these topics, but as the first word, it's a relief: clear, concise, and actionable.
