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!

Great contest. The Blog Blazers looks good to me, I’d love to find that under my tree.
The Problogger book is what I’d love to have
Hi, Darren. The only one I’m interested in is yours. Your posts are the ones I save and go back to, and are my morning coffee reading daily. You choose great guest posts that are complementary to your own content and brand, and speak with the voice of a real person. It would be a great Christmas present to have your book to read while everyone else is devouring their throwaway magazines.
Hi Darren,
I’ve been following you for years, and one of these days I’ll get it right :) You are a true master and inspiration. Thanks for the contest invite, I would like to submit my name for “Blog Blazers”
Found out about this contest through the newsletter I signed up for! If it’s still running – I’ll go for the ProBlogger the Book ….
: )
Darren. I don’t know how you do it mate. But i’m sure you can help me figure it out. But i need a bit of motivation. So, i’ll go for the Blog Blazers. Successful Stories 40 Bloggers.
Darren I’ll take what ever is left. Doesn’t mater to me which book as all books are learning tools. Thanks for this chance to win
Please put me in the running for “Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive”!
I would like blog blazers
Thanks for the chance!
Hi Darren, great promotion!
I love books!
Ok, I choose your book: “Problogger The Book”
Darren, I love your blog and your book. I’d be interested in “Blog Blazers.” Cheers!
What a great idea!
My selection is: Blog Blazers: 40 Top Bloggers Share their Secrets to Creating a High-Profile High-Traffic and High Profit Blog
Reason is that I plan to kick off a new site exploringretirementopportunities.com Jan 1, 2010 with content intended to provide information, resources, examples of all of the avenues open to individuals who are retiring or are being forced into early retirement due to the current economic circumstances.
I find that I to am being forced – at age 78 – to look for new sources of income to augment what savings I have left.
I am certain that there are a host of others out there in the same boat and I would like to help them find a way to realize their passion, whatever that might be.
I think this book would be an ideal source of ideas to help all of us trying to make the rest of our lives be the best of our lives.
Many thanks for all of the articles that you have shared with me and inspired me the way to Become A Blogger.
Take Care, Bill

Good Morning Darren, I would love to be in the chance to win “Yes: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive” – it’s a shame i dont already have it, or I might just have been able to persuade you to have picked me :-)

Blog Blazers:
Id like to get this one since I will be getting out of the military come February and need to start a blog for the photography career that I will be pursuing. After 9 1/2 years military its frustrating to know where to start and this book could be it, at least a great starting point, but if you think there is another one on the list, or on your shelf feel free to send it. Thanks for your time.
