This is marketing / Seth Godin.
"You can do marketing that you're proud to put your name on. Over the past quarter century, Seth Godin has inspired millions of entrepreneurs, leaders, and fans from all walks of life. Now, for the first time, he offers the core of his marketing wisdom in one accessible, timeless package. At the heart of his approach is a big idea: Great marketers don't use consumers to solve their company's problem; they use marketing to solve other people's problems. They don't just make noise; they make the world better. Truly powerful marketing is grounded in generosity, empathy, and emotional labor. Learn how to identify the smallest viable audience. Build trust and permission with your market. Adopt the narratives your fans already use. Find the guts to create and release tension. And most of all, give people the tools and stories they can use to achieve their goals. It's time to stop lying, spamming, and feeling guilty about your work. It's time to stop confusing social media metrics with true connections. It's time to stop wasting money on stolen attention that won't pay off in the long run. It's time to be seen by first learning how to see."--Dust jacket.

*Starred Review* There's a very good reason Godin (and his 18 previous best-selling books) is so popular: simplicity, period. He boils down the principles of marketing (and, by the way, gently chides those who think social media is the be-all, end-all) in ways that anyone will understand andâhe fervently hopesâadopt. This time, his focus is on making products and services better and telling the story, consistently and authentically. He touches on the familiar concepts of marketing, like promises, positioning, audience, and others. Yet it's all freshâand with some new language that's worth remembering. Early adopters? Think neophiliacs. Consider affiliation versus dominion when scrutinizing audiences. At the heart of his lectures is trust, earned best through action, not words. Yes, the narrative is somewhat ramblingâand slightly derivative; on the other hand, he liberally credits other thinkers, like Ted Levitt and Marshall Ganz, then shows how to revamp or reuse their ideas. Valuable insights from the guy who brought us Purple Cow (2003), permission marketing, and tribes. Appended with a marketing reading list and a simple marketing worksheet.
