I'm not in the book review business but I have to tell you that I just got through reading World Wide Rave by David Meerman Scott and it is an amazing book!
As I posted on Facebook last night:
"I've been struggling with how to get my book and company more noticed without much in the way of funds, and after reading this book, I feel like I have a new lease on life and work. If you know me at all, you know I don't swoon over much but this book is incredible."
Like many of us ACRE®s, David challenges the conventional wisdom on how to bring online eyeballs to whatever you do. I found myself nodding my head and saying YES! out loud.
AND...if you want to get a taste of what I'm "raving" about, you can go to his site and download his free e-book that started it all: The New Rules of Viral Marketing: How Word of Mouse Spreads Your Ideas for Free.
But, it gets better...
I decided to start using what I learned and so, I asked the author if we could be "friends". (I still find using that term weird but understand why FB uses it given their origins). I figured he's a big muckety-muck author and wouldn't respond to me.
Wrong! Not only did he confirm me as a friend, but he commented the following:
"Hi Mollie - Glad you liked my book. Many thanks for talking it up. I wish you good luck implementing the ideas."
And then this suggestion that I want to share with all of you:
"I am an "professor" at the Free HubSpot "Inbound Marketing University" this week and am presenting on Wednesday."
Well, I went to Inbound Marketing University, and lo and behold, not only is David "teaching" on Wednesday, but the other classes sound fantastic! Here are some examples:
