“… Managing Online Forums is a worthwhile book to buy and absorb. There are TONS of great resources in there, and lots of real world examples for you to follow. This alone makes the book a great resource to have on the shelf.”

- Chris Brogan

“Within 20 minutes, I was on page 70. Perhaps it was my interest in the topic, perhaps O’Keefe’s writing style. Whatever the reason, the book (at just over 300 pages) was a quick and easy read, chock full of great information, advice and examples and left me feeling like I should give online forum management a try.

Perhaps the best thing I can say about the writing style is that it isn’t written from the perspective of a haughty expert peppering you with polysyllabic words and ethereal Internet philosophy. O’Keefe has something to say and he says it, plain and simple.”

- Jason Falls, Social Media Explorer

“This is the kind of book we’ve needed - I’ve been telling business owners and corporate marketers for years that they’ve been focusing on the wrong things (i.e., what software to install) when what they should be thinking about is all that “other” stuff.”

- Thomas Myer, Triple Dog Dare Media

“Author Patrick O’Keefe, who has managed online community forums for 8 years, offers a blueprint for administrators who want to make the right choices so that users return again and again to their forums. O’Keefe’s 300-page paperback is a practical guide for anyone who gets tasked with running a forum.”

- MarketingSherpa

“I had the opportunity to read through this book over the last week, and I’m just floored by how much good information it’s got in it. This book is years of Patrick’s experiences running successful forums … and all the tips, tricks and wisdom he’s picked up during those years. I ran a moderately successful forum years ago, and would have saved myself months of headache and heartache had I the information in this book at my fingertips back then.”

- Michael Kimsal
