I’m not gonna’ waste any time or energy introducing you to Social Media. I think by now everyone who is breathing and has access to a computer has a pretty good idea. But if for some reason you don’t, you can either Google it, or click here, here, here or even here – but if you don’t give a flyin’ whoop then this post isn’t for you.

About 6 months ago, I wrote a post called “16 Free eBooks on Social Media”. Seeing how popular it was and how useful the content inside each eBook is, I thought it only logical to present you with a new batch of some A+ eBooks by rockin’ Social Median’s.

Social Media related eBooks are being published left and right. While some of them have been out for some time, others are fresh out of the #SMoven. This is my sorry attempt to add humor to a post that isn’t so much funny as it is insightful. In case you didn’t catch my ingenious play on words, let me break it down for you.

# (Twitter hashtag) +SM (Social Media) + oven = #SMoven :D!

So, without further ado and blah blah, I present you with 9 rockin’, inspiring, insightful and totally FREE eBooks on Social Media. Why 9 not 10? Because I’ll be counting on you to share your #10.

What other good Social Media eBooks have you read or written? Feel free to comment and add on to this list.

Note: These are in no particular order.
