Invisible Selling Machine by Ryan Deiss
takeaway: lots of good email swipe copy in this book |
|
Launch by Jeff Walker
note: out of all the books on the list this one was my least favorite… at times it felt more like a sales letter for his very expensive online course. |
|
Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich David Garfinkel
takeaway: use this book as a reference |
|
I’d Rather Be in the Studio! Alyson B. Stanfield
notes: excellent book. Unfortunately, this is only available as an ebook, but it is an excellent bargain as it contains pretty much everything you will find in one of her online courses. I printed a chapter a day and read the hard copy. |
|
Influence Robert B. Cialdini
notes: I listened to the audio version after I couldn’t get through the copy I checked out of the library. It’s a fun read as it helps us understand ourselves and how we get influenced. |
|
Youtility Jay Baer
notes: a fun book- interesting message for corporations to make more sponsored content. |
|
Platform Michael Hyatt
note: this is another bargain as the book contains much of what Hyatt offers in his online courses. |
|
Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook by Gary Vaynerchuk“It took thirty-eight years before 50 million people gained access to radios. It took television thirteen years to earn an audience that size. It took Instagram a year and a half.” ― Gary Vaynerchuk takeaway: uses visual case studies to show how to use each social media platform differently. |
Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time Jeff Sutherland
note: This book is for serious readers only. I was pretty serious, and read it. |
|
Good to Great Jim Collins
note: Again, this is a very academic book more suitable for business school wannabes but it appealed to my nerdier side of my brain. |
|
Rework Jason Fried
note: If Good to Great and Scrum are too serious for you then this is a lighter version of the same philosophies plus lots of cursing….actually, I am not sure of there was actual cursing… You can also read their blog for the same content, but I don’t read blogs. |
|
Getting Everything You Can Out of All You’ve Got Jay Abraham
note: This book contains lots of gems for entrepreneurs. Very actionable. |
