Grow Small Business: Sarah Petty Reviews Seth Godin’s New Book, Linchpin
Grow Small Business: Before the holidays, I excitedly responded to Seth Godin’s offer to pre-purchase his newest book, Linchpin, by making a donation to the Acumen Fund. I hope this was a hugely successful strategy for Godin because I also am a big believer in charitable marketing and why not? He wanted his book in the hands of 3,000 people who he knew would pre-buy ANYTHING he writes. So, why not let everyone benefit? Those who make a donation, receive his book before the general public. The charity benefits by receiving probably over $100,000 and Godin wins because he gets his book into the hands of thousands of
excited readers and bloggers. Let the google bots begin.
