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!

Hello Darren,
I would love a copy of Problogger. I’m addicted to your blog, and it has helped me a great deal in building my audience and making my site attractive to advertisers.
Cheers,
Thomas
Please enter me for the book, ProBlogger the Book.
Thanks for a great site!
P.S. I want the 6th book. Problogger. I hear the author is quite generous. :D
I’m just trying to stick out from the crowd. Best blog ever.
Problogger the book gets my nod. Thanks for this opportunity.
I am faily new to writing and was recently looking for a way to turn my new found passion into a full time career when I thought about blogging as more of an end to a means. I did some research on the subject on google and was thrilled to find Pro-Blogger! Your content and hands on advice has proved itself to be invaluable and the most concise available in my opinion. While I have I only been reciecing your newsletter for a month or so, I am finding it is fast becoming my ‘bible,’ both for blogging and much of my other writing as well.
Then this! How amazingly generous! Since I know little, if anything yet, about SEO I owuld like to be put in for the drawing on the book, “Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing.” However, when I win I would appreciate it if you’d e-mail me frst do I can also order a copy of your book, “Pro-Blogger,” – signed of course!
Thank you,
Ray
Well, Darren,
Tis the season!
Thanks for your generosity!
Pretty cool to play Santa, eh?
Cheers

Wow! What a response. My choice for a book would be between
Blog Blazers:and ProBlogger. No offense but if we can only choose one my first pick would be Blog Blazers:. Looks like a very interesting book.
Great idea! Thanks for the opportunity.
ProBlogger for me please!
thanks
Yes, 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to be Persuasive.
I’ll take the Blog Blazers, sounds like a good Western.
Thanks
Me 2.0 pleeaseeeeeee! :)
Fingers crossed, but I’ll like to be in the running for the Problogger book :)
I’d love to read “Say Everything: How Blogging Began, What it’s Becoming and Why it Matters”. I know I’m really late to the party when it comes to blogging, but I’m fascinated with it. Thanks for the offer!
I’d love to read your book, so please mark me down for it. Thanks! Great idea!
I will pick ” Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog “
Wow, 686 comments already! A girl doesn’t stand a chance! I would like all the books, but I know…you said one. I guess, I’ll have to choose book number 2. The SEO one. Not that I think it will be interesting, but b/c it’s needed. I just read, last night, some of the things you and paula Mooney said about SEO. I still don’t quite get it and I really wanted to cry b/c I think my attempts will be futile, all null and void if I don’t get this.
I’m so determine not to give up, but so many things seem to not be going right. But I will keep at it, as I simply love it.
The reason I contemplated on writing you last night was to “thank you” I’m sure you get that often, but I am thankful that you offer so much information for free. I’m a SAHM (Stay-at-home mother), and have been for 15 years. I homeschool my children and I’ve really loved it. You know, I’m sure, sometimes when there’s something you want to do in life, you give up the smaller goals to accomplish the bigger one? That’s how it’s been for me…teaching my children at home and not getting paid “money” for it. That’s been okay with me, b/c of my goal with and for them, but it has not been easy living off of one income (my husbands).
Anyway, I’m so thankful for Blogger, WordPress, and others for offering the platform of blogging for free and to people like you who give away, for free, such sound advice. Had it not been for you and others like you, I would still be waiting to get the money to start my writing career.
I’ve been blessed by the generosity in others and so you see, “I can’t quite.” Regardless of how hard blogging gets for me I can’t quite. I have no excuse. I don’t need the money and there is certanily so much advice out there until I simply have no excuse.
Whew, I know this is a long comment. I was contemplating on writing you last night, but fell asleep. Anyway, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Damnit man. I’m late to the game of reading Problogger, but it has become a religion for me now.
Put my name in the hat for Problogger: The Book!
Sorry I meant “quit.”
Good lord – 687 comments?
the Problogger book seems like a good fit for me.
I would love to win the Problogger book. I’m excited to take my blog to the next level in 2010, but believe me, I need help!
Would love to read Blog Blazers! Looking forward to the competition results!
My first choice would be your ProBlogger book, but there’s too much competition. So, I’ll pick the Blog Blazers one.
That is a substantial number of people hoping to win books. Sorry to add to the list, but I would definitely be interested in “Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive.” I think Cialdini wrote the only “textbook” I used for school that I wasn’t immediately bored with. Thanks for the opportunity to win, Darren, and good luck with the choosing.
Love the site, would love to get a copy of your Problogger book!
