Should I buy the Get Slightly Famous: Become a Celebrity in Your Field and Attract More Business with Less Effort, Second Edition?
I'd give him TEN if AMAZON would let me!
Since I started my own company in 2001, I have purchased and reviewed more books on marketing than you can put on a six foot bookcase. The really bad ones I've thankfully SOLD BACK on Amazon. But you couldn't give me enough money to sell Steven Van Yoder's amazing book! Steven, who runs his own company, knows the value of niche and clearly states the importance of branding without sounding cute, contrived or gimicky. His approach is that of a tried and true professional who speaks from experience. His background in journalism makes him an expert on media relations and his approach to making yourself famous in your own indsutry truly works. I should know--I hired this man to help grow my own company, Creative Visions Consulting, and everything he's done has PAID OFF! If you want practical advice you can immediately apply to your business, THIS is the book! But be warned--these are not OVERNIGHT SPLASHES that create success--what Van Yoder offers is a SYSTEMATIC WAY to build your business through CONSISTENT and QUALITY exposure, something most marketing gurus or "niche experts" never want to tell you until you've forked over your money! So....get clicking and get this book--you'll be glad you did!
Worth the price for the teleseminar tips alone
Top notch. As a marketing consultant to independent professionals and small service busineses, I found this book to be outstanding. For example, the book describes how a new trend for professionals and consultants who want to woo and win new clients is to offer teleclasses, also known as telephone seminars or teleseminars. The book explains that having heard you speak, people feel they know you personally, and are more confident about hiring you. The advantages are abundant. You don't have to be personally present to give a talk that reaches your target market, says Van Yoder. Online chats and teleconferences, using your own or others' telephone lines, can help you reach a lot of people eager to hear your message. The book is filled with great advice like this.
A unique and instructional business guide
Get Slightly Famous: Become A Celebrity In Your Field And Attract More Business With Less Effort by Steven Van Yoder is a unique and instructional business guide to becoming famous within the context of the business world and thereby attracting clientele and increasing revenues through sheer visibility. A wealth of tips, tricks, and techniques for acquiring and consistently holding media attention; using speaking engagements to become noticed by a targeted market; harvesting the full potential of the Internet; creating ancillary "info-products" to build public awareness, and a great deal more, Get Slightly Famous is excellent, profitable, and highly recommended supplemental reading for businesspeople and marketers on all scales and theaters of commerce.
Practical, Must Have Advice for the Small Business
I have to agree with all the positive comments on this book. I've been in medical device consulting for over 10 years, and have tried some of the ideas in Yoder's book already (due to common sense or other consultants' / books' recommendations). But I found much more suggestions here, together w/ updated web-based ideas which I'm now working on employing. I also value his many real-world examples interspersed throughout the book. This is one of only a few books (and I have most) that I'll be rereading to assist in marketing my consulting services.
great practical advice
Get Slightly Famous is one of the best books on self-promotion that I have read. Steven Van Yoder provides practical advice that would benefit any person who wants to improve business or raise his or her public profile. While many books of this nature are disappointingly thin on substance, this book provides solid advice for building a career as an "expert."
