5.0 out of 5 starsThe key inbound marketing tactics that you need to know
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2013
In today's Internet world, it is simply not good enough to have a website. You need to understand how to attract a large, targeted audience to your website - an audience that will create buzz for your products and services. This is the promise of inbound marketing - of "content marketing".
Yet, many of us do not have the time and energy to wade through all the reports, articles and data published by HubSpot, SEOmoz and the numerous other content marketing experts out there. We simply need the most pertinent tactics that will help us be successful - so we can get on with our other jobs, or get to know enough about this area to hire the right person to do this job.
This book cuts through all the noise around content marketing - and gets straight to the key information we need. Every page in this book packs a punch. It is concise, neatly presented and hits home. It started out as a quick read - I finished it in a day - but quickly became a reference book I turned to over and over again, as I started working on implementing the techniques and strategies.
If I have one criticism of this book, it is that it misses an opportunity to go into further depth. Andy's writings on Orbit Media Studios's blog presents another level of material beyond what is in this book, and should be used as a companion to this book.
Often cited in the Chicago Tribune, and often found presenting at industry events, Andy Crestodina has been incredibly successful using the techniques in this book to build Chicago's top web design agency. It is astonishing that he is so incredibly transparent about how he has achieved this success, and proactively teaches it, through channels such as this book.
