OK – I have a pile of books that is growing beside my desk (and on my desk… and on my bookshelf) made up of books that I’ve either finished with or that I have multiple copies of.
I’d like to do a bit of a giveaway today of a few of them and all you need to do is leave a comment saying which one you’d like.
Below I’m listing 5 6 books (I’ll link to them on Amazon so you can read more about them) and I’m asking you to nominate ONE (not more than one…. just one) that you’d like to be in the running for.
This Wednesday I’ll randomly choose a winner for each book, contact you to get your mailing details and pop them in the mail for you (I’ll pay for the shipping).
Here are the 5 books:
- Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive
- Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing
- Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success
- Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog
- Say Everything: How Blogging Began, What it’s Becoming and Why it Matters
Oh and for a little extra I’ll throw in a copy of ProBlogger the Book as a 6th Alternative.
Remember – you can only choose 1 – just use the name of the book in the comment – (this way I’ll know you’re getting a book you don’t have) so choose carefully!
UPDATE: This competition is now closed and I have closed comments on this post. Thanks to everyone for entering – it’s been amazing to see so many entries! I’ll notify winners of their win shortly!
I already have your ProBlogger book and even though it’s written mainly for beginners it was still a great read. But I do prefer your 31 days BBB for its more usable contents.
All the other 5 books listed are really interesting, but since we’re only allowed to pick one, I’ll go for:
Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive
“Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Succes” for me.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Darren!
I choose:
“Blog Blazers”
Thank you!
Hi Darren,
No 2 Search Engine Optimization for me. Looks like I am comment no 506 or maybe more by the time this shoots out.
I already have your problogger and hope to learn more as a new blogger. A good place here for me to say thanks for all your educational feeds. Cheers!
“Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing”— would b my choice……
Well Darren I feel I should be in the running for a book as it will be less cost for you in shipping being in Australia!
Seriously though I have a growing and addictive fascination for SEO as web2.0 becomes so much more competitive, and is in my mind the one area which is under prioritised by home based bloggers. (ok prioritized .. there in itself raises a SEO Q I am unsure .. how many of us know the answer to different English/US spelling tachnques )
Whilst I believe I have some education in SEO, like most self taught individuals, it is a constant battle to keep up with tricks and developer techniques. I suspect that most bloggers would struggle to identify 10 tips, let alone 140 as shown in this book!
SEO now requires a myriad ‘web’ of techniques to allow ones presence online to be noticed. I simply monitor my own surfing search habits to remind myself of what the typical user may be doing, and how fickle readers can be, and so if I am not on the first page of google or close then it is highly probable my site or blog will languish with cobwebs unseen unread unnoticed.
I am planning a major on/off line ‘real’ product launch where SEO will be crucial to my success. Yes I can gather lots of Twitter traffic but I am intent on organic traffic which is working on it’s own 24/7, and be topped up with more active 2.0 techniques such as you employ constantly.
SEO goes so much further than a few fancy plug-ins or a quick search of ad-word techniques and I view this a momentous challenge that ‘can’ be overcome with studying the right resources and dedicated hard work.
This book will go a long way to helping me, which in turn will help my community if I can provide ‘value’ for my customers and readers.
Thanks for the opportunity and your generosity.
Hi Darren, great giveaway.
I live in El Salvador and has been imposible for me to get ProBlogger the Book, you know.. because of the money and the resources. But i followed the e-mail 30 days and since then, I WANT IT. Would you send it as far as EL SALVADOR?
I’ll take ProBlogger the Book.
Thanks for the oportunity
I’d be really interested in Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing. I have your book and some of the others.
Thanks for doing this. Very kind of you.
’50 Scientifically Proven Ways to be Persuasive’ – you’ve obviously already majored in this subject and don’t need the book any more – if you choose to send it to me, once read, I’ll do the same …
Great promotion!
I would like a copy of “Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog”

What a lovely offer. I’ll throw in my bid for Blog Blazers (having recently shelled out for the ProBlogger volume, which I’m really enjoying).
Thanks for this and all your assistance.
I will like to have Problogger Book. Though it’s a thinest book in comparison to the rest of the books but I think it’s the smartest book from all of those books.

Any book written by a Seth Godin look alike has to be great, so I choose Pro Blogger the Book.

Your book is on my list to purchase…..so that would be my request. I just bought my domain name yesterday and I’m very excited to go to the next step……(although reading your book probably should have been first) I just didn’t want to lose an opportunity to buy a cool domain name…….just my opinion :)
And thank you for the opportunity!!!

Earlier this year I was restructured out of my position as a senior level professional communicator after 31-1/2 consecutive years in the corporate world working for Fortune 500 companies. During my ongoing search for work, I became interested in the potential for creating my own Blog. I helped pioneer corporate Blogging in 2002 when I was at Dr Pepper/Seven Up in the Dallas area, and know it can be a powerful communications vehicle. In working with a local social media “sherpa” (I’m now in the Rochester, New York area), I have learned a lot in preparing to embark upon my journey into the world of Blogging, and I began following your posts at her suggestion. A copy of ProBlogger the Book would be very helpful and welcome.
Great contest!
I think I would most like the book:
Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing
but,
Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog
runs a really close second.
I would likethis:
Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive
I would to have -# Blog Blazers:

Thanks
Hi Darren,
The Blog Blazers book please!
Hi Darren: Thanks for the giveaway (you sly fox) and inspiration. I’d love a copy of your Problogger book #6.
I’m in the process of converting my old website to a wordpress blog site for my custom made shoes and boots. The branding book would be the best for me at this very moment! So I vote for Me 2.0. Even after 35 yrs of creating this business, there’s new things to learn about making my brand jump into people’s laps –and onto their feet :)!! Thanks for your generosity. Warmly, Sara
I would like to get Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing

I’m thinking “Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to be Persuasive” That would be great!
Thanks!
If you could go Waaaaay back on my Twitter comments you’ll see, I bought your Pro Blogger book and mistakenly donated to our local public library. So I had to reserve my own book to read it, only to get a letter from the library a week later, the book was missing and never returned, their only copy. It must be really good sure wish I could read it :)
Yo, D. Blog Blazers sounds terrific. I’ll go for it. Count me in.
Thanks Darren. You run a great site here, and provide a wonderful service.
Say Everything is my choice.
John Biddle
