Seth Godin is one of the hottest authors of books on marketing today. He understands that the Internet has changed the way that humans communicate with each other and that this has changed the game for marketing and advertising.
Godin was involved in the online world early on. He pioneered online marketing with Yoyodyne. This website featured contests, games and scavenger hunts to market its sponsor’s products to visitors of the site. With his online marketing background, it is only natural for Godin’s books to be available in digital audiobook format at Audible.com.
Godin’s new online marketing perspective is introduced in his book, The Purple Cow. Here Godin suggests people find traditional advertising boring and tune it out. They are only going to pay attention to something truly remarkable: something like a purple cow. In this age of the Internet, marketers are going to have to strive to stand out or they will remain invisible. At Audible.com, listeners gave this book four stars out of five in the areas of overall quality, performance and story. This book is a must-listen for those who are trying to find their way in marketing on the Internet.
Another Godin audiobook available at Audible.com is The Dip. In this book, Godin explores the idea of quitting. He argues that winners know when to quit and escape from a project that is a dead end. However, winners also know which projects are worth sticking with when a temporary setback is reached. It is this ability that separates winners from losers according to Godin. Audible.com listeners gave this book over four starts in the categories of overall quality, performance and story.
Godin’s All Marketers Are Liars is a lesson in authentic storytelling. His claim is that all marketers try to weave a story about their product that makes sense in the life of the customer. However, if this story goes too far with its promises, then it will turn people off to the product. This audiobook is also available at Audible.com
