Aimee Song = my new style icon

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017

I bought this book for myself initially, and liked it so much that I bought it for a friend as a Christmas gift. If you love Instagram like I do and can't get enough of it, this is the book for you. The author, Aimee, is awesome. She fills the book with fun and witty insights and advice on how to be a better Grammar.... and then there are the pictures. Holy moly. Beautiful, vivid, vibrant photos from her own account that demonstrate her successful techniques. It's eye candy -- dozens of photos of gorgeous outfits, amazing scenery, and expertly done selfies. Whether you're a professional who is looking to use Instagram as a platform to promote yourself, or just a regular person like me who wants to step up their game and take better photos, this is the perfect starter kit! Would make a great stocking stuffer or coffee table book!

Pointlessly gendered and gratingly peppy, still useful

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2018

Wanted to read something about Instagram and this was one of the few books that were for individuals and not businesses. Useful stuff, but for some reason written solely for women. Still, useful primer. Seriously lightweight, but I guess it might go with the medium. I wonder if there are some more serious books about Instagram yet?

Informational and Easy to Read - Even for a Social Media Manager

Great read for people trying to up their Instagame. My friend and I picked up Aimee's new book to help us with our new site [...] so that we could really improve our Instagram account. We are both professional marketers and manage several social media accounts, but we have never done one for a 'lifestyle' company. The book is a nice combination of information, easy reading, and photography. We were able to learn some great (and easy to implement) items that are sure to help us!

Great crash course for new Instagram Users

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2017

Honestly, was pretty surprised I ended up enjoying this book.

Though the first few pages were kind of pointless (if you already know Instagram and its lingo) she does offer a lot of great feedback in terms of angles and goals. The author really has thought thoroughly through the Instagram product and it makes sense why she is so successful. Wishing the author the best of luck and hope she enjoys the fruits of her efforts.

I even recommended the book to a few friends who don't really use Instagram but would like to get started on it. This was a quick crash course for them. Happy to share :)

Perfect introduction to the world of social media

In a world where "If it's not posted on Instagram then it never happened" this book is a must. Aimee has a way of delivering the information needed in such a casual way, you feel as though you're chatting with a girlfriend over brunch ( which you'll obviously be Instagraming). Plus the info transcends seamlessly to all facets of Social Media! -@i_isbrandon

Excellent book for someone with 10 followers all the way to someone like me with 124k followers. Great for improving content on your page. I don't normally write reviews, but I saw some negative feedback on here and Aimee does a great job of exactly what the description says. There's no magical button how to get followers, but with great content with context, you will attract the people best fit your aesthetics. Great job Aimee! Highly recommend.

This book came out at the EXACT moment that I needed. If you're looking for key insights on how to think about upping your instagram game, photographic inspiration or even just permission to enjoy the hell out of your selfies....THIS IS YOUR BOOK. Aimee did a fantastic job and I simply can't wait to see what I create because of her fabulous book and insights. Now...if only she could teach us a thing or two about Snapchat :)

Great book, especially if you're interested in growing your brand/online presence. Easy read (read in less than a day) and very descriptive- including pictures and tips. Aesthetically pleasing and love the layout of the book. Great to put on your coffee table after you're done reading.

A "how to" photography book at best, and not a very good one

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

I'm a small business owner that's looking to grow my business using Instagram so when I bought this book I was hoping to get a handbook of tips and tricks on how to do that. This book does none of that. Instead it offers flippant advice like "when you take a picture, be sure to follow the lines of where the eye is going to get a great shot". That's it. No explanation of what "the lines" are. No explanation for why that's important. And then the author follows it up with a few pictures from her Instagram account (including a shot of herself with Pharrell) - not sure what that had to do with "following the lines ". In the end, it seemed more like an omage to herself and her best Instagram photos than a "how to grow on Instagram book". It would've at least been tolerable had she shared her personal stories about her struggles and successes with Instagram, but she doesn't do that either. There's a lot of "be your best", "take great pictures", "love what you do" type speak. As for personal experiences (i.e.when she's not bragging about a time when some fashion designer paid her way to some elusive island vacation so she could post it on her Instagram account) all you'll get is an "oh, but don't do that, I did it once and it was horrible. " My last beef with this book, and admittedly it is a nitpick, is her use of text language and hashtags in the actual text. At one point she actually says "document your life in a way that makes you proud (#word)." Really? Why the hashtag? Maybe I'm too old to get it- who knows- but the only thing I got from this book was annoyed.

Good read, but Basic

My wife wanted this book, she is a fashion designer in LA and was interested in her take on being an influencer. My wife said it was a good read, but really basic. Nothing that wasnt already known by anyone using instagram and working in the fashion industry.
