  This book shows how to tap the power of social software and networks to build your business. In Trust Agents , two social media veterans show you how to tap into the power of social networks to build your brand's influence, reputation, and, of course, profits. Today's online influencers are web natives who trade in trust, reputation, and relationships, using social media to accrue the influence that builds up or brings down businesses online. The book shows how people use online social tools to build networks of influence and how you can use those networks to positively impact your business. Because trust is key to building online reputations, those who traffic in it are 'trust agents,' the key people your business needs on its side. This book delivers actionable steps and case studies that show how social media can positively impact your business. It is written by authors with over ten years of online media experience. It shows you how to build and wield influence online to benefit your brand. It combines high-level theory with practical step-by-step guidance. If you want your business to succeed, don't sit on the sidelines. Instead, use the Web to build trust with your consumers using Trust Agents .
