Advertospam?

Edit: http://techoctave.com/blogcast/ does look pretty neat though.

Ad: Maybe, I'll leave that for you to decide. Spam: Certainly NOT!

Most companies and colleges could care less if you earn or learn anything of practical use. I care! That's why I wrote Marketing for Geeks.

I suspect you'll have better luck sharing your thinking behind this book, how you went about writing out, how you're going about marketing it, what sort of results you're seeing, how that compares with what you're hoping, what you're doing to make it better, etc... rather than just selling the book.

I called it spam simply in the context of it being an avert that's not solicited on this forum. We're not, in general, particular keen on shameless adverts. Self-promotion is ok, but try to throw in something useful to the reader!

"I suspect you'll have better luck sharing your thinking behind this book, how you went about writing out, how you're going about marketing it, what sort of results you're seeing, how that compares with what you're hoping, what you're doing to make it better, etc..." - I completely agree. Thanks for the feedback! I have plans to do each. That type of lessons learned and analysis will be invaluable to the community. And I wouldn't miss the chance to share the same.

I know it sounds simple, but on this side-of-the-pond a lot of very good people are struggling with the economic reality that they've been gamed. Many will find what I have to say personally relevant and deeply useful.

"How do you spend 4 to 5+ years and over $100,000 and still can't stand on your own two feet?" - Exactly.

So it's purposeful and deliberate - right? Almost like a Trans-generational Ponzi scheme. Strong words - I know!

But think about it. You put in money now with hopes of a decent ROI later. Only now that return ain't coming! And where's your $100,000? Spent. Vamos. Gone! Don't even think about getting a refund. Heck, you got a valuable education - right? You made a wise investment in your future - right?
