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!

hi Darren i choose,if win,
Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog
Why do I blog? I wonder, I really do. I find the need to write/share my thoughts comes organically … I’m sated for awhile, as I am after a meal, but later I grow hungry again and need to put a few thoughts down. But is an “urge” a reason?
I think “Say Everything” might give me some insight. Depends on how philosophical it is, I suppose. Does it address my god-given urge … “I blog therefore I am” ?? I’d be curious.
If I win this book of yours, I thank you, Darren.

PS I own your ProBlogger book; well done.
I’d like Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive
Thanks Darren!
I have few from the list already. I would like to have “ProBlogger the Book” for xmas.
Merry Christmas in advance :)

What a decision – as my biggest problem is confidence and persuading clients I guess my choice would be Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive. Thank you
I think this is very cruel, to make your audience pick only one. What if they don’t get the one, they can’t be considered for another?! Cruel as it is, I choose Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand … That’s my pick. Thank you and keep up the good, no, EXCELLENT, work in the problogging campaign!!
I would love a copy of your book, Problogger.
Great site and love your emails!
Si
Darren, thanks for the great info you give daily through your blog. Also, thanks for the giveaway. I’d choose “Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive” as persuasion is the real backbone of sales, marketing, negotiating, and communicating in general. Thanks!
Wow!! So many comments! I’d love ProBlogger the Book, only because I haven’t bought it yet. But I’ll get it even if I don’t win it!
Cheers!
This can’t be far off a world record for number of comments!
Count me in for the real deal – the Problogger book.
Tough decision!
After considering the options, my choice is “Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog”.
I’d like to win the book, Search Engine Optimization. I’m relatively new to this and have been following you for a while. I find you to be one of the more authentic and honest blogging gurus. Thanks.
Darren:
I LOVE your website. And, I’d love to receive the Blog Blazers… book. And if you throw the Problogger book in too,. well, that would be delicious icing on my cake!!!!
I’m learning to create my website (through Go Daddy) and I’m starting my blog at the New Year. I’m a voracious reader and I love to write, so this book would be the best!
Thanks so much!

Hi there Darren, I’d love a copy of your ProBlogger book that you wrote :D
It will make a great compliment to the 31 days to a better blog ebook I’ve got on my digital shelf ;)
I’ve been pondering SEO lately, so Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing is the book for me!
Darren, I’d go for Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive. Thanks.
Darren,
I am most interested in your ProBlogger book.
Thank you.
I would love to have the 2nd book on Search Engine Optimization. That is by far my greatest challenge in blogging so far.
Thanks Darren for keeping us inspired!
Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing. Thank you!
I have enjoyed Problogger for some time. However, I have not started a blog yet for a variety of reasons. Now, as I fantasize about owning Search Engine Optimization (as well as ProBlogger), I recognize my need to work with someone already steeped in internet blogging and social media. I need to concentrate on the Content, Advertising and Affiliate merging. Hope I get all these dreams come true. Thanks again.
Hi,
Thanks for this opportunity. I would like Problogger Pro :)
Problogger the Book!
I would prefer Say Anything.
Thanks for the promotion!
Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive all the way!
I would love to read Me 2.0 And thanks for all the great content everyday.
I’d like to be considered for Blog Blazers. Thanks for the opportunity!
I’d like to be in the drawing for “Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive.”
Thanks so much!
GREAT idea for a promo! I would love YES! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive Thx.
Hi, I’m Sonja. I’m 11, in grade 6 and totally stoked about raising enough money to continue my training. (I’m an Olympic bound Dressage Rider). All those books sound good so I’m putting my name in for which ever one has the LEAST votes. That way I have the highest chance of winning a book. It would be so cool to win one of them and I know if I read any of those books it will get me closer to my goal.
I’m just starting a blog and would love some additional info to set it up and get readers interested. I’d love a copy of your book (ProBlogger)! I’ve heard great things about it but haven’t been able to find it locally yet. “Blog Blazers” sounds good and I’ll be trying to find that one now. If I don’t win, thanks for the recommendations anyway.
I’ve been following your blog for a while, and love, absolutely love all the information you provide. Your blog is very helpful to a newbie like myself at how to market and how to keep blogging form becoming a tedious task. Thanks so much for everything!
I would be interested in Yes!; 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to be Persuasive.
As a promo, giving stuff away works, and this contest looks like it works even better!
I eagerly look forward to ProBlogger in my email box and find it packed full of useful information.
My choice for a book would be: Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for Effective Internet Marketing.
Thank you.
Darren,
Thank you for your generosity and willingness to share not only your excellent blog, but your books too.
I would love to have the book, “Say Everything: How Blogging Began, What It’s Becoming and Why It Matters”
Thank you,
Elena

Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for Effective Internet Marketing
Hi Darren,
I am silent admirer of your blog and I improved a lot on my blog using your tips and advises, I am not saying these words just to grab this book but I really mean this.
Coming back to your book offer , I would like to pick
“Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing”
Why I selected this book – I started my online training business via my blog http://onlineAppsDBA.com three months ago (We are doing OK approx 10-12K profits per month and growing) so do I still need this book ? Yes I think as I think I am not using SEO and internet marketing to its full extent and I think this book can help me.
Why I deserve this book – Well I don’t have strong point but after reading this book I am going to pass this to next commenter (picked up by you) so more than one can pick this .
Why didn’t purchase it Yet then ? – As I said I am new to this online business and still learning so I was n’t aware of this book till now but yes I can now buy this (If I miss chance here) and after reading review of person who is going to grab this book.
What I am going to do with book ? – Ofcourse read it ;-) use tips in my business, share it with readers and finally pass on to next person in comment list above .
so Am I going to win this ? – I’m not lucky to win anything till date but fingers crossed this time
anyway thanks for your posts and Happy Christmas to all readers

Hi Darren,
I’d like Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog. I have been treating my blog as a business since I started blogging almost a year ago. I put out quality content, however I am still not getting the traffic or the profit from my blog I would like to get. I feel having this book would significantly enhance my blog and my business because I would get to hear tips from 40 successful bloggers and apply that information into what I do now. I am able to build decent conversations on some of my posts, but I still want to learn more and bring in new ideas. I feel you can never stop learning and the moment you do, your business, blogging, or anything you aim high for in life stops. I always want to learn and I hope you choose me for this book because I believe it’s a tool that will really benefit what I am doing.
Hi Darren!
I would love to receive “ProBlogger: the Book,” for which I would gladly trade you my just-finished copy of “Crime and Punishment.”
Thanks!
I have never repsonded to any of your email messages until now. I am taking my time reading your blogs and emails writing notes so I can build a blog that will bring in an income for my husband and I.
I would love a copy of Problogger. I’d study that book intensely so I can build a successful blogging business to supplement our business income.
Hi Darren,
Can I have the following book:
Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive
Hi
I would like the Search Engine Optimization. thanks
First, thanks for the inspiration: what a stellar idea for a post!
Second, thanks for the oppotunity to see what a simple, and simply generous, offer can do for your blog (shazam!)
Third, thanks for the opportunity. ‘Blog Blazers’ would be my first pick, but I’m a book nut so whatever you’re
generously offering would be a-okay with me.
I would like “Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share Their Secrets”. I think it would be a fascinating book for me as I am at the Pre-school level of blogging.
Give – a – way was a great idea.
Merry Christmas
Bill Sterling
I’d love to have the “Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive” because sometimes I’ve been successful at persuading people, sometimes not, but never knew exactly why. I’d also love to have your book because I’m about to start a blog!
hi Darrel,
I would like Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success. Thanks!
Darren,
I hereby nominate myself to receive Problogger the Book. Thanks for creating a fabulous blog!
What an inventive method to make winter cleaning more entertaining and effect some action. You’re effectively making yourself accountable to every Darren, so you HAVE to clean up your pile of books. What an awesome idea!
The choices are very hard to pick from … but I believe I’d like to be in the running for:
Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing
Thank you very much for the offer, the Search Engine Optimization is my choice because it is the most expensive and I trust the publisher ( Visual ) . I also need it for reference since I’m a newbie and just starting to build my blog.
Wish I can be as successful as you are and help others too in the future!
Thanks again and May God BlessYou.
Mercedes
The pro-blogger book sounds fine to me.
I love your site and grab a number a great ideas with every read.
Thanks.
