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!
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!

I would be very happy to receive a copy of the book. Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing

Hi,
This is a good idea; you accomplish two or three things in one swoop, so to speak, and who doesn’t love a contest. Good going, keep on keeping on. I thought about it, and you can put me in the running for Search Engine Optimization: … Visual Blueprint for Effective Internet Marketing. Best Regards. Bill
I would love Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success. I need to learn how to better promote myself. Thanks!
Results from Google Analytics have lately gone to wrong direction, so hopefully ‘ProBlogger the Book’ would kick them back to right direction.
Hi Darren,
I’m speechless…I like your blog and I love your posting.
Hi Darren, I would love to win Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success. Thanks!
Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success is my choice.
Thanks!
Hey Darren,
I’m sure you have a stats progam or there are other ways to find out who is listening. Anyway, it took 50 scroll downs on my iTouch to comment. I would have liked the first book had I been here. Have a good one.

I read your blog every day. Thanks for all the info and this great giveaway. I would love to win Blog Blazers to add to my collection of resources. Thanks!
Hi Darren, great promotion, really got your community interested with over 500 responding in a day.
All great books, so at this moment in time I’ll plump for the
“Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing”.
and hopefully read ll of them over the course of 2010.

I would like to get Problogger so that I might share your wisdom with my friends. Thanks for doing this.
*raises hand* Please, please can I have the 3rd book: “Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success”
Great list of books, btw.
Thanks,
Karen
#1. Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to be Persuasive
Thank you for your informative blog.
Me 2.0 ….
Narrowing down has never been a great strength for me. (Actually, it’s more a total “bleh” than a “yea, choices!”.) Many thanks, therefore, for this challenge of having to pick just one from among a group of 5 strong contenders (I’ll let you decide how serious I am about the thank you).
I line with that little issue, though, my choice – should I be one of the lucky few – would be book #3 . . Me 2.0. Branding in a way that is actually affordable and makes sense is a major goal for my new year. I’m fairly sure this book could help. Thank you (and this time I AM serious).
Hi Darren,
I am interested in: Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog
Great promotion idea Darren! I’d love to get a copy of the Search Engine Optimization book. Best of luck with this and future promotions!

564 comments…really? Ah well…I never win contests anyway. ~sigh~
On the extremely unlikely possibility that I do, I would love to have the copy of “Say Everything: How Blogging Began, What it’s Becoming and Why it Matters.”
Thank you so much for offerring to give these away, Darren.
Cheers,
Tracy
I too also own your book, although it would have been my first choice for nomination! :)
I am nominating the SEO book. You can never have too much knowledge of SEO and its one of my favorite topics.
Thanks Darren for this great offer.
Great way to gauge levels of interest – Problogger for me please.
Hello, Darren! This is a great opportunity to get free books. I like to read Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing to learn effective tactics in Marketing a brand in the Internet. Hope I’ll get if free.
Hi Darren,
what a generous and good idea.
I note that idea down, could do something similar later.
I would live to read “Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing”
Thank You
Vincent
I would like to read BLOG BLAZERS
thanks for the invitation
Darren,
Just signed up for your newsletter and have read some great articles. You had a guest blogger write about Procrastination and it really hit home. With that being said, I need G Squared to be a household name by 2020 (I’ll fill you in later) so I would have to say Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success is the book for me.
Great idea. I should give away some of my books! I would like Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing. It looks like pretty much the type of book that I have been looking for on that subject.
Hi Darren,
My vote would be for:
Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive – looking forward to the drawing.
What a great thing for you to do! Thanks so much. I’ve subscribed to your posts for a few months and they have really helped me. I’d love to be in the drawing for Say Everything!
-Christa
Hej Darren,
Nice idea! Not sure if living overseas in Europe causes a problem with postal cost and everything but thought I’d give it a try anyway. Would be interested in no 2 about SEO.
Thanks and wonderful thought to give away books! Will keep that in mind.
Ciao Madeleine
Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success
Darren,
I am most interested in “Me 2.0” as I have spent the last 12 months building my own personal brand, as well as trying to launch a consulting business, OTB Zolutionz LLC, while spiraling downward toward bankruptcy.
I admit I have not been consistent in supporting my own blogs, primarily http://how-to-design-and-build-an-automobile.blogspot.com/, but I have learned a lot from your ProBlogger endeavor.
I hope I am selected as I need to learn more about how to systematically build my personal brand so I can help financially struggling others do the same, how to improve my blogging (with your book), and follow in your footsteps with my own book giveaway.
Respectfully,
Ron Hayes

I would like to vote for:

Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success
Darren…All the book are really great, however I believe that success begins with branding yourself. Too often we get caught up in telling people what we believe they should hear rather than developing a real genius of a brand that transcends into a great following and yields success. Thanks…so I chose “Me 2.0”
I’m interested in “50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive.” Thanks for your generous offer to share your books with your readers.
I would love to read the “Blog Blazers” book. I’m always interested in how other bloggers are achieving success.
Thanks!
Hi.
Thanks for this offer!
I’d like to be considered for “Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint…,” please.

I would like a copy of Problogger the Book.
While I could check out each of the books you’re offering from my library, Problogger is the only book I’d read more than once (I’ve read the library’s copy twice).
Like Tribes by Godin and Don’t Make Me Think by Krug, it will be a well-worn book which sits by my computer as I work.
Thank you for this drawing.
–Greg
I would be interested in #4 Blog Blazers.
Thank you!
Darren,
I’d like to enter the drawing for the book, ‘Me 2.0’
Thanks,

I’d love Me 2.0. Thanks for your great blog.

Dear Darren,
I would like to receive the book,
“Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog”
I am finally ready to grab the bull by the horns and start my own blog (have been reading Problogger for quite a while!) and I think this book will assist me in taming the beast..uh..bull!
Keep on writing, I love your blog.
