Almost everyday I get asked an online marketing question. I am afterall, an online marketer. Most people find me either through this blog, twitter, a simple google search, or via some of the other sites I like to play in, like chowhound.

Some questions are broad, like, 'How can facebook help grow my business?' to asking me to look at their online strategy for further comments or suggestions. I am always happy to do so.

From time to time, I also get asked about other business books I enjoyed or would recommend. I can now happily recommend Six Pixels of Separation by Mitch Joel.

Mitch guides businesses, especially those who are scared to take the plunge, through the world of online connectivity. His reason to dive in? 'In the digital world there are no degrees of separation between you and your customers.'

The book is full of great business examples, lots of questions to help you start building your connectivity and most of all, the online etiquette for safe entry. All stories and guidelines will show you just how close you can be to your customers and most of all, your potential customers.

NOTE: I worked with Mitch Joel and Twist Image, they are one of Scotiabank's digital agencies.
