“I knew a little bit about social media before I hired a social media “expert.” Unfortunately, that expert was not Julie Spira and Social Media and More. Where she was precise, they were vague. Where she educated me, they lectured me. Where she gave me concrete things to do daily, they spoke in terms of monthly goals. When she clarified what the end game for me could be, they couldn’t connect the dots. Julie wastes no time or money. She is on the mark and will proceed quickly if she thinks you get it. If not, she will patiently explain in a fashion that will help you understand. She walks the walk, so you can see from her own sites what is doable and possible. She becomes your teacher, confidant, and cheerleader. She’s “invested” in your success. She cares!

Women’s National Book Association

“Julie is the consummate professional. We are both members of the Women’s National Book Association, Los Angeles Chapter and as President I asked Julie if she would present at LA Bookwoman Day. Julie did an outstanding presentation regarding social media for writers and authors and answered many questions from the audience. She is a recognized expert on social media and is a sought-after presenter for many organizations. In addition, Julie helped staff a booth at the West Hollywood Book Fair for the WNBA, LA and made sure her space was professionally presented. She has an eye for detail that can not be matched. I would ask her to present again without hesitation. I always learn from Julie and consider her a valuable resource.”

—Michelle Gillstrap, President, Womens National Book Association, Los Angeles

“Just got home from the Women’s National Book Association Convention…Julie, your speech was sensational! You gave us all so much valuable information about the world of social networking that the audience couldn’t write fast enough…me included! You are a great speaker that provided so much “hands-on” information that you left us all wanting more. I’m excited to learn that you are now offering social networking bootcamps. I will be taking the 3 hour course in just a few weeks. Thanks so much for helping all of us navigate our way through the new world of social networking BRAVO!”
