Good Online Marketing Books?

I have been looking on Amazon but I haven't really found any "great" book on online marketing....

Please post what books you would recommend...

and please identify the following:


Practical : Theory : Inspirational

Ebook : Traditional Book : Magazine



Thanks

 

I have tried searching sometime ago but did not find any good recommendation as well.. You may better off read blogs written by John Chow, CopyBlogger and Seth Godin.

And yes, you can try out books written by Seth Godin for marketing.

 

thanks I'll look into those names you mentioned

 

Some of us are awaiting Shoemoney's "The Shoemoney Playbook" within a few months on how to effectively market online, and how to start up a successful website/web business.

 

Forums.Digitalpoint.com is a good one...

 

given we are all here already....

 

is this an ebook?

 

If you can find a book better than this info., I'll eat this thread with a side of chips. ~

No, make that Doritos.

To be honest with you, I'm not sure whether Shoemoney will be releasing an e-book or publish an actual hardcopy. I think he mentioned at some point about needing the book published, so it would be safe to assume that an actual book is coming out.

Hehe, nice...I'll read your article when I'm back at the 8-5 coal mines tomorrow. You should consider changing that picture of the guy with his feet sticking out...can't you find a nice female model for that? Maybe Barefootsies can help.

 

Ok, there ya go.

 

all these books are just fluff! If you want to visit a great forum to learn actual techniques PM me

 

I've wasted - and I do mean wasted way too much money on books. Forums are the best way to learn marketing. There is alot of crap to wade through, but it's free for the most part and the information is priceless.

I especially find that most ebooks are just rehashed basic information that you can find free somewhere. Forums are very specific and easy to search.

You may take it as a given, but you have to fully understand just how powerfull forums are - and if you have a question you can't find an answer to in a forum, just ask and you will usually get quality responses.

 

Books are outdated, read related blogs and forums.

 

Here are few;
Influence: The psychology of persuasion by Robert Cialdini
Winning Through Intimidation by Robert Ringer

 

If you're looking for basic marketing theory (the foundation to any online marketing), you can try this online Principles of Marketing textbook.

 

commonsense direct marketing by British Guru Drayton Bird

I have updated edition which is called "commonsense direct & digital marketing"

He claims to have virtually rewritten it with web 2.0 in mind

 

I'm not allowed to post links here, but you may private message me your messenger ids and we'd chat more about it.

 

else you can buy Darren's new book

just search for Darren Rowse in amazon and you will get to it

his blog is www.problogger.net

 

Would you guys mind terribly if I rolled my eyes at that?

No?

Thank you.

 

Books are one of the worst ways to learn!

I would do something more along the lines of http://www.workathomeprofitzone.com (which is free, by the way!) Dani Johnson is an amazing teacher. (No, I have no affiliation!)
