Good Content, Sleep-inducing audio.

Any additional comments?

-Note to Mr Cockrum: I know you hired this reader because his voice has an authoritative tone to it, but it comes off as snobby when the subject matter is more practical application and not groundbreaking in nature. I've heard your voice on the audios in your websites before, and I feel as though the readers of your books would benefit much more if you hire a narrator that matches your own lively tempo and personality. -

The information is great. The author proves that if we put these strategies into practice we'll reap great reward. I've finished the book and I know that I'll listen a few more times to pick up the things I missed. I'm just reluctant to do so while driving as I managed to doze off while listening to it in my office a few times, coffee in hand.

My advice to others: Buy the paper copy if you can. But if you do most of your "reading" while driving, get this. It is worth the $, either way. I would only recommend you increase the narrator speed to 1.5x. Safety first. ;)

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very interesting book. It felt like a motivational book with suggestions on advertising to back it. Narrator did a great job of giving life to the material as well.

Solid

Where does Free Marketing rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is a book that holds it's own. Stuffed full of great insights and tips for entrepreneurs and independent minded brand building thinkers.

What other book might you compare Free Marketing to and why?

This book goes toe to toe with some of the modern juggernauts in the category it doesn't push theory it uses true tactics and strategies to make a difference.

Any additional comments?

I've journeyed back to this book several times after first reading it and will continue to do so.

Very informative information.

This is a great tool for the self marketing person. Allowed me to understand proper etiquette. I innocently didn't know you couldn't introduce yourself to a business through email. I guess the diet pill industry and the SEO so called experts have ruined it for the sincere online business owner. I will definitely have to listen again to write down every suggested link offered that will benefit.

Listening to it over and over and bought the Kindle version!

This is one of those resources that one needs to continue to use. Not only has it given me ideas, but it has sparked many more. Great stuff here!
