Title: How to Get on the First Page of Google

Subtitle: In Under 5 Minutes

Author: Michael Mathiesen

Narrator: Michael Mathiesen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 11 mins

Genres: Business, Marketing

Publisher's Summary:

How to Get on the First Page of Google is a complete system of how to get your business in the top of the first page of Google and all the other search engines in under five minutes. But more importantly, unlike all other audiobooks on this subject, this audiobook gives the listener the most successful business model on the internet today so that when your business pages are found on the first page of Google, you have a chance to get rich.

Today, because there are very few jobs being created any more, there are millions of people looking to make an income on the internet to replace the income they once had from a job. There is so much competition on the Web for this and many other reasons that to get on the first page of Google is not the total solution because even when your business pages are found, if the person doing the search has seen your product hundreds of times that day, he is still not likely to buy from you. Having a complete business product and service as the one propounded here, a unique health food and supplements, the listener has a much better chance at making the kind of money that he deserves and needs to not only survive, but strike it rich.

Members Reviews:

This is nothing but a bad informercial

What disappointed you about How to Get on the First Page of Google?

If I could get a refund, I would. This is just a not-so-cleverly disguised sales pitch for this guy's multi-level-marketing company. I thought because of its release date, that it might be relevant

What could Michael Mathiesen have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Not write it

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Michael Mathiesen?

Anyone. In addition to the fact that this 'book' is BS, he's a total bore to listen to.

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None.

Any additional comments?

Buyer beware

The author should be ashamed - audible more so

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

nothing - there is no substance that could be improved - it is nothing more than self promotion and a poor attempt at recruitment

What will your next listen be?

anything but this... my mother in law perhaps

What didnt you like about Michael Mathiesens performance?

everything - the recording is poor - is that traffic in the background? The author has no enthusiasm or engaging qualities, but worst is the content... sign up for my multi level marketing program and don't do anything else

What character would you cut from How to Get on the First Page of Google?

there are no characters...

Any additional comments?

I have no idea how this could have gotten through any kind of quality control here on Audible. since I work in online marketing it is always interesting to consider other people's take on things- to be told that facebook is only for teenagers, or that you should never, ever spend any money on Google AdWords since it doesn't work - shows just how ill informed this author is.

do not buy this book - and, audible - get it off your site - it is an embarrassment.

like the other reviewer if I could get a refund I would...

OK introduction

Amazon made publishing a book very easy, however that created its own challenges in finding a way for the right people to find your book among millions of other options. This book provides the author's take on well known marketing ideas using social media (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, blogs).

While I did not find any completely novel ideas, I thought author's suggestions were solid such as making promotions fun and interactive (e.g. contests) and not recycling the same promotional posts over and over.

The author recommends using review sites, but unfortunately does not provide specific recommendations. There are many review sites with variable quality, and since Amazon does not allow paid-for reviews it would be useful to see a list of sites which contains reviews that review for love of reviewing and reading rather than money.

In addition the author provide some very high level ideas about Amazon keywords. This is a very important topic but this book dedicates only a small section to it.

Overall, the book provides high level solid advice. It does not drill down into a lot of details and specifics. It is a good introduction but not as good as some books with deeper analysis or interactive author groups on Facebook where you can get similar advice and ask follow-up questions.

Ali Julia review

An Excellent Book

I really liked this book, it gives you a lot of information and details about marketing books for authors. It gave me a lot of knowledge, so to the author, I say thank you!

Good start...

Good solid base of information but lacking some of the details and step by step instruction I was hoping for.

Five Stars

very good info!

An impossible story of vampire/human love in an enthralling story

The family of our heroine, Leah are murdered during a trip the US, their wounds, two simple punctures to the neck. Leah travels to the US to bury her family and bumps into the mysterious Bobby, a vampire hunter by profession. Bobby tells her what really happened to her family and she decides there and then to stay, train, become a vampire hunter and seek out revenge. That is until she meets another hunter, Findlay who becomes the love of her life only to see him turned into a hybrid, part human, part vampire.

I wonât spoil the ending for you. Suffice to say the author tells an absorbing and atmospheric tale of impossible love set against a backdrop of vampire horror and gore.

Title: Intent to Sell

Subtitle: Marketing the Genre Novel

Author: Jeffrey A. Marks

Narrator: Matthew Deane

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 55 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-24-13

Publisher: Author

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Business, Marketing

Publisher's Summary:

The only audiobook designed to help authors learn about how to market their own genre fiction titles, it's a wealth of knowledge on how to approach the ever changing market of book promotions.

Written by Jeffrey Marks, who holds an MBA and has worked in marketing, he walks the author through the basics of marketing from websites and press kits to touring and nominations.

Marks is the long time moderator of MurderMustAdvertise, a website and Yahoo Group dedicated to marketing genre fiction.

Members Reviews:

Your Intent Must be to Buy "Intent to Sell"

If you believe that placing your book on major web retailing sites will permit it to be discovered and let you live comfortably, then don't buy Jeffrey Marks' "Intent to Sell: Marketing the Genre Novel." If you believe that you will reach a much wider audience if you work as persistently at the publicity craft as the art and craft of writing, than you may not need any other book than "Intent to Sell." The table of contents is organized well enough that you can skip around, though I recommend a cover-to-cover read.

Marks does not say "you need a press kit" or "book signings can be good for you." He says exactly what needs to be in the kit and why you need an 8x10 photo instead of a snapshot, or why your bio should deal almost solely with your writing or aspects of your life that relate directly to it. He advises you on who makes decisions in book stores and how this varies with the size of the business. His discussion of the role of social media is helpful, and it puts in perspective that its use is generally only a very small part of a successful book publicity effort.

The most helpful chapter for me was "Us versus Them," a thoughtful discussion of the different ways to use a public relations professional and how much to expect to pay for varied services. The second was that on "Finding Your Niche," which I would describe as integrating the promotion of your novel among your existing networks without becoming a self-proclaiming pain. Overall, the best aspect of "Intent to Sell" was how to organize your publicity work so an author uses time efficiently.

Marks initially talked in terms of working with your publisher and I was not sure the book would be relevant to self-published writers. He broadens to self-publishing, and both frameworks are useful. Marks writes mysteries, so some of his examples may be more relevant to those who write in the same genre. However, I think the only error in this book is in the title -- you don't need to write genre fiction to learn from "Intent to Sell."

Writing is as much a gift as reading, and you need never sell your work. If you want to do so, buy "Intent to Sell: Marketing the Genre Novel." Now.

Professionally Written, Valuable Information!

Yes, this is a book any novel marketer needs to read. This volume is 186 pages of professionally written, easy-to-follow information that is relevant, timely and valuable to any author who wants to get their book in front of the buyers. Packed with useful links, tips and guidance that will help the author avoid pitfalls and expedite success.

Title: The Book on Content: Using Words to Attract Clients

A one-stop source for the basics on blogging and website content creation, The Book on Content: Using Words to Attract Clients, teaches exactly that!

Members Reviews:

The very basics of blogging

This is a short audio book, which is not a bad thing in itself. There are, however, some key problems with this title:

- This is not a book about content, it is a book about blogging

- It feels like an advertorial for the author's company and her services

- The information is very basic and could be helpful for a business who is just getting started with blogging

- There are many instances like this one: the author talks about the importance of storytelling yet there are no stories in her book.

This book should have been called "Blogging essentials for businesses" that would earn it another star maybe.

Disappointed

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Given that not all authors make good narrators, there is a risk to trying to be one, if you don't have the skills. This is the case with this author, so it immediately distracted from the listening experience. There were 18 segments to this audio book and, from segment 15 inclusive, to the end, it had nothing to do with the title of the book and was only about the author and her acknowledgements. I would have preferred more 'content'. Having said that, in my view the content was basic. I kept hoping it would get better, it didn't, so a poor purchase as far as I am concerned.

What could Jen Miller have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Chosen a professional narrator. Don't use almost a quarter of the book talking about 'self'.

Would you be willing to try another one of Jen Millers performances?

No, definitely not.

Members Reviews:

Listen to the sample before buying!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Sorry I couldn't recommend this book to a friend. I found the narration infuriatingly wooden. At many points in the book the author just reads lists to you. I am not convinced I learnt anything about marketing a business, but just listened to a list of options for marketing a business.

Would you recommend How to Market Your Business Online and Offline to your friends? Why or why not?

Again No. Sorry the book largely comes across to me as a great tool for the author to market his various business ventures AT you.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration is poor. Annoyingly poor. I will listen to a sample of every audible book before I buy now as I couldn't stand another title like this

Do you think How to Market Your Business Online and Offline needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Please no!

Title: Brandjam

Subtitle: Humanizing Brands Through Emotional Design

Author: Marc Gobe

Narrator: Gregory St. John

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-28-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Marketing

Publisher's Summary:

Brandjam, the follow-up to the groundbreaking best-seller Emotional Branding, presents a powerful new concept from renowned designer and business guru Mark Gobe. The Brandjam concept is about innovation, intuition, and risk. Gobe explains how design is the "instrument" companies can use for jazzing up a brand - how design puts the face on the brand and creates an irresistible message that connects buyers to the product in a visceral way. Using jazz as his metaphor, he shows how the instinctive nature of the creative process leads to unusual solutions that make people gravitate toward a brand and make brands resonate with people by bringing more joy into their lives. It explores how design represents the personality of a company and provides its window to the world. Brandjam is an inspiration for brands and people as it reveals the transforming impact brands have on their audience.

Editorial Reviews:

Mark Gobe follows up his best-selling Emotional Branding with Brandjam, an examination of the important function that design plays in branding. Gobe uses jazz as an apt metaphor for his argument, showing how innovation and creativity can spark a connection between brands and the public, and Gregory St. John's forceful, persuasive performance sells Gobe's theories, making them resonate with the listener. Novice entrepreneurs and business owners alike will find much to absorb in Brandjam, learning how the use of intuitive and inventive design can impact their brands to reach a larger consumer base.

Members Reviews:

Brandjam: Right on the money!

Brandjam from Marc Gobe is right on the money. Marketers must start paying attention to the emotional connection between the brand and the consumer. Gobe leverages his vast experience to demonstrate this in a clear and easy to understand way, using very relevant examples. A great marketing book.

A little boring but has good insights

Gobe can be very wordy and hard to read. Fortunately, he has little insights section at the end of every chapter and summarize the main points for you. It's an excellent book on how design affects marketing and consumer behavior.

Title: The Arab World Unbound

Subtitle: Tapping into the Power of 350 Million Consumers

Author: Vijay Mahajan

Narrator: Brett Barry

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-26-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Marketing

Publisher's Summary:

An expert's guide to exploring business opportunities in the burgeoning Arab marketplace

This groundbreaking book reveals the myriad opportunities presented by the Arab World's market of 350 million consumers, who collectively wield the ninth-largest economy in the world. Based on the author's firsthand research, including hundreds of market visits and more than 600 interviews at companies doing business throughout the region, this book shows how globally interconnected and vibrant the Arab markets are.

Through a rich blend of data and anecdotal observations, it chronicles how, by respecting the region's culture and religious norms, hundreds of local and multinational companies and entrepreneurs are creating successful businesses in this large and growing marketplace.

As the global marketplace continues to expand, this book offers anyone interested in investing in the Arab world an expert perspective on the boundless business opportunities.

Members Reviews:

Deep insight into the Middle East and its future

While others are right about learning about Arab world business and consumers, the real power of this book is the view that you never see on the news. This is about the real people and what is going on in their lives. No matter their politics, newspeople study the trees of events. This is about watching trends, long term trends, demographics. That is the forest.

Plus lots of great data on many social topics. The Middle East may not be what you think. We also need a new perspective on these same topics for Mexico and Latin America. Mahajan did this before, for Africa.

A simple book on Arab World

Having lived in Middle East for five years, I am aware how diverse the region is.

Had high hopes on the book. May be useful for someone who is new to the region.

A good read though

Good read for anyone

Very interesting book. Loved reading about details of doing business in Arab countries. Very readable, not dry at all. Anyone could learn from this.

A MUST READ for anyone interested in the Arab consumer!

I highly recommend 'The Arab World Unbound' by Dr. Vijay Mahajan for anyone who is seeking rich insights and knowledge on the Arab consumer. The depth, breadth and accuracy of the research is impressive and mind opening, even to a marketeer who has extensive knowledge of the region.

If you want to learn first hand about the Arab consumer, away from all the misconceptions, this is the book for you. A must read.

Excellent Read, Valuable to Anyone Marketing to Women

Great book and very insightful for marketing to women. It's an easy read and you could easily get finish it in a day or two if you like to read. The book takes the position that women are not a segment of the market, they ARE the market. The examination of buying behaviors and social identity provides marketers real-life and effective techniques to reach the female buying market and markets influenced by women. ALL MARKETS! I've used the material in the is book and my business response has noticeably improved.

Recommended to me by instructor at IUPUI

I am enjoying reading this book that was recommended to me by instructor who taught "The Dynamics of Women's Giving" at Indiana University Perdue University, Indianapolis campus. So far, I am enjoying it!

Most useful, interesting book - get it before everyone else does!

This book is fantastic! It provides research and case studies throughout, and key tips at the end of every chapter, making the ideas super usable and easy to implement. I found myself underlining things on every page and coming up with so many ideas about how to work this strategy into the marketing for my organization!

The book is really easy to read- it feels like you are having a conversation with your smartest friend or your favorite mentor. I loved learning about all the cool, creative ideas that people have come up with to do this stuff. It really got me thinking about all the unexplored possibilities for my work.

Also - I was skeptical about the idea of "progressive marketing" at first, but this kind of marketing isn't sleazy or manipulative, it's about really reaching people to talk about and take action on the things that you (and they) care about. In an age of too much advertising and media, those of us who want to make the world better desperately need to learn these lessons or we will forever get lost in the clutter.

I haven't found any other book that is so useful for anyone who works on progressive causes, works at a nonprofit, runs a student organization, teaches a women's studies class, or just cares about getting their message out to the people who matter.

If you are Married, or have been... SKIP THIS BOOK

If you are a man, and have never been in a long term relationship, you'll probably need this book.

I struggled through the poor narration / audio recording on Audible... Don't do it.

If you are really tempted by the intriguing title, request the Free Kindle Sample... Reading the Intro and the Table of Content will most likely satisfy your curiousity.

Invaluable Ideas, Information, Perspective

A Must-Read Marketing Book For the Cash-Strapped Author

If you are not yet receiving 4-digit royalty payments every month, this is the book for you. Heather Hart's Book Marketing 101: Marketing Your Book On a Shoestring Budget provides a complete collection of book marketing tools that are FREE (my favorite word!).

The thing I liked the most was the way that Heather tied all of the tools together. Quite a few (many most?) book marketing books present lists of techniques that appear to be stand-alone and not really tied to each other. This particular book stands out in my mind by tying all of the tools to act in unison and create a central theme for the author. Heather's book struck me as a rock-solid marketing plan for the new author who is bootstrapping it and needs more than a collection of unrelated book marketing tools. If you are a new author, you will probably want to use every single one of these tools.

IMHO, a new author can't pick a better starting point when creating a marketing plan than this book. Well done Heather!

Worthless. Read these quotes from the book:

Worthless! There is hardly any helpful information in this thin book. Here is a sad quote: "There are entire books out there that have been written solely about the use of social media in marketing your book." [I thought that a book called Book Marketing would be about marketing a book not alerting me to look for a more helpful book.] My favorite tidbit of worthless advice was to print bookmarks and send some to your "Aunt Emma." "Why not send her a letter letting her know that you are a published author?" This is amazingly worthless advice. I can't believe that it is found in a marketing book.

another helpful book by heather

I purchased this book and another (Self-Publishing Books 101). Both were very helpful. Comparing the two, Book Marketing 101 is less comprehensive than Self-Publishing Books 101. It all depends on where you are in the writing/publishing/marketing process. If you are looking for marketing info only, buy Book Marketing 101. If you are in the early stages of writing, buy the other book. With either book, you won't be disappointed. I hope to adopt many tips when I promote my book, "The Scheme." Thanks, Heather!

Short and sweet, just what I needed

This is a short guide to book marketing, which is well-organized and informative. It very thoroughly covers all the things one can do to sell a book, including internet options, organizations, posters, and business cards.

Very helpful

This book is full of great advice and tools. I especially liked the section on developing t h e marketing plan.
