About this audiobook
#1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller
Instant New York Times Bestseller
A game-changing approach to marketing, sales, and advertising.Ā
Seth Godin has taught and inspired millions of entrepreneurs, marketers, leaders, and fans from all walks of life, via his blog, online courses, lectures, and bestselling books. He is the inventor of countless ideas that have made their way into mainstream business language, from Permission Marketing to Purple Cow to Tribes to The Dip.
Now, for the first time, Godin offers the core of his marketing wisdom in one compact, accessible, timeless package.Ā This is Marketing shows you how to do work you're proud of, whether you're a tech startup founder, a small business owner, or part of a large corporation.
Great marketers don't use consumers to solve their company's problem; they use marketing to solve other people's problems. Their tactics rely on empathy, connection, and emotional labor instead of attention-stealing ads and spammy email funnels.Ā
No matter what your product or service, this book will help you reframe how it's presented to the world, in order to meaningfully connect with people who want it. Seth employs his signature blend of insight, observation, and memorable examples to teach you:
* How to build trust and permission with your target market.
* The art of positioning--deciding not only who it's for, but who it's not for.
* Why the best way to achieve your goals is to help others become who they want to be.
* Why the old approaches to advertising and branding no longer work. Ā
* The surprising role of tension in any decision to buy (or not).
* How marketing is at its core about the stories we tell ourselves about our social status.
You can do work that matters for people who care. This book shows you the way.

Replete with incredible philosophical insights. Seth Godin is just incredible when it comes to the explaining the culture behind a better approach to marketing. Very inspiring. However, there are very few actionable steps in this book and after finishing it I still have no clue how to get started or improve my marketing efforts without having to hire a third party. In a sense, this book may be better suited as a guide to spot and hire a great marketer.

The information great. But If you want to the book don't go with the audio version. Seth's voice will have you snoozing in no time.

Outstanding summation of Godin's approach to marketing. A new book by Godin is an unqualified must-read, and this connecting of the dots by Godin is essential for anyone with a product or service to sell.
