UPS just pulled up with another box of books so I thought I would take a few minutes to tell you what’s on my reading list. Like most people at any one time I am reading 4 or 5 books. Yea I know it’s kind of stupid but that’s what most of us do.
I just finished reading The Barefoot Executive by Carrie Wilkerson. Very easy reading with some links to some of her videos inside the book. Very good book for a newbie or an experienced online marketer.
She discusses several different models for making money online and uses herself and others as examples. Her action steps in each chapter are worth the price of the book by themselves.
Last week I finished Huge Profits With Affiliate Marketing by Connie Ragen Green, a fellow NAMS member. Connie is a retired school teacher who has burst onto the affiliate marketing scene. Everyone wants her to market their product. She has a loyal following that buys whatever she recommends.
This book is a step by step for the beginning or struggling affiliate marketer. I have a lot of ideas to try highlighted in this book and have already implemented a few.
A general business book I am about to finish is Why We Want You To Be Rich-Two Men One Message by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki. This book was published in 2006 and has been sitting around here for a year or two. I found it in a bag of books I had in a corner and started reading it.
Fascinating insight into how these two men built their empires. This book provides a great look into the future. It might scare you a little bit. Both men talk a lot about the principles that drive them.
I bought Book Yourself Solid by Michael Port originally because I thought it would help me with some offline marketing I am doing. Was I in for a surprise. He relates everything to the way products are being marketed online.
I am reading this book a little at a time and have a special notebook for taking notes. It’s like having a strategy session everytime I read it. I will keep going back to this book long after I am finished reading it. If you sell anything I highly recommend it.
If you are reading this that means you sell something now or will in the future so get it.
That will finish off my reading list for now. I have a new book from Gary Vaynerchuk I need to get started on soon and my delivery today from UPS was 3 military books to give me a little something different from all the business and marketing books I read.
I would love to hear what you guys and gals are reading now. Leave a comment below.
Later
