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 love the Problogger book! I’m such a fan!!
I believe I’d like to win Blog Blazers!
I’ll nominate myself for “Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for Effective Internet Marketing,” simply because I need a clearly written how to book on the subject. Thanks, Darren.
Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers…..
Case Examples are good. Forty are better!
thanks Darren, wouldn’t mind receiving: Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success.
Blog Blazers please :).
Hi Darren,
Would love the SEO book… even bigger bonus is that you owned it first! Very cool :)
The “Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog” sounds like an interesting read.
Blog Blazers would be awesome!
I’d love to have a copy of the Search Engine Optimization book. I’m a residential building designer, which equates these days to being unemployed. That’s ok, it gives me time to try to create a website and find a niche where I can establish myself and be ready for the economic turnaround, when and if it ever comes. Meanwhile, I have a part-time job doing blogs for the local park and recreation department http://www.bendparksandrec.com. I subscribed to ProBlogger because you have great suggestions for someone new to blogging. It’s weird at almost 60 years old to be trying a whole new field of work, but it’s fun. The more I can learn, the more successful I can be. The SEO book sounded like it would be the most suitable choice for me right now, and since I take home less than $400 a month, I’m not going to be running out and buying new books. So pick me LOL.
Hoho..i hope somoene will get what they want.
For me, I would like the Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog. Thanks so much. Debbie
The “Say Everything” Book looks awesome. I’d say Problogger but I want to pay for that one.
Blog Blazers – would love to read about other bloggers.
“Say everything” looks very interesting.
Greetings from Norway!
ProBlogger the Book

Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog would definitely be my choice. How do you stand out in a field of millions? I look forward to finding out.
Thanks,

I guess that the lesson is that giving away books is a great way to get responses to a post, and that’s definitely worth knowing. I am hoping that in Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog there is also much more worth knowing.
I’ll read Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive and try to put them to good use.
Wow, 50 billion comments already! :)
I’d love ‘Say Everything’.
Thanks Darren
I’d love to read Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog
Thanks Darren
I hope I win! Thanks Darren!
Dear Darren,
Frankly I don’t life freebies and promotions. But when someone’s giving away books, I am all ears.
If I am one of the lucky fellows, I’d like to get a copy of:
– Say Everything: How Blogging Began, What it’s Becoming and Why it Matters
Because, although I love blogging, I somehow lack what people call ‘passion’ when it comes to blogging. I guess this book will give me a better understanding of the entire process, its past, present and future.
Also, it will be even more exciting, if you give away your own books rather than new copies. Though it can be called ‘piracy’ in a crude sense, sharing a book is a highly personal gesture which I guess your readers will love.
In any case, wishing luck to everyone.
Regards,
Shantanu.
(P.S.: I live overseas too, though I guess it shouldn’t be a lot of trouble)
I hope I win! Thanks Darren! I’d love to read the Problogger book.
Hi Darren, I’d like a copy of Problogger The Book. Thanks for all of the advice and great tips over the past year. Cheers, Anthony
Would love to check out Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing…my site is dying a slow death and maybe this book has the tools I am missing.
Sorry about the typo in the comment above. It should be ‘like’ in place of ‘life’.
What a great idea!
I realize I’m a bit late in the running, but I would absolutely love to read -Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive.
(if this is just a sampling of what you’ve got in your bookcase, I am 1) jealous, and 2) curious. What other goodies are you reading? :))
A nice idea to free up some space and make someone lucky at the same time!
If I’m the lucky one, please send me “Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive”.
I would love to receive the copy of Blog Blazers.
Hi Darren! I’m one of your avid fan, I’d like to win this book!
# Blog Blazers! Thanks hope I win :)
Hi Darren,
I’d love to win a copy of 50 ways to leave your lover, I mean YES, 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to be Persuasive. Thanks for the fun.
Maria
Thanks for offering the giveaway Darren, I was about to buy your book anyway (once I can afford it). It’d be awesome to win!
I think I’d like the Blog Blazers book best. :)
This contest is such a cool idea! I would love to win the title on being persuasive :D

This is a great give away.
Thank You

I’m really interested in “Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success”. I’ve just finished reading ‘Crush It’ by Gary Vaynerchuk which is a great model for personal branding. I’m interested in what other models people have used effectively to build their personal brands online.
Thanks :)
I would love a copy of “Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive”.
I would like to read your book so that is the one I want to win
Would love the book Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success. Thanks!
Darren, The one I want is your book – ProBlogger – and please could I have it personally autographed. I have always appreciated you willingness to assist even the humbliest of bloggers such as moi.
Blessings and bliss
Brigid
I rarely ever win stuff but I’m taking a chance on this one. I’d like to have book #2 Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for effective Internet Marketing. I hope you’ll consider me.. =)
Hehe, it looks as if everybody loves a freebie. I wonder if this is the most comments you’ve ever had. Very interested to see your visitors are a 50/50 gender split. Not what I expected either.
My pick of the books is 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive. But they all sound good. Reading Secrets for Blogging… by you and Chris G right now:) Taking notes as always…
Happy Christmas!
