The ABCs of Marketing Myths – A New E-Book
Now available at the Kindle Store!! Just click -> HERE!
Hello! I am VERY excited to announce that I have self-published an official e-book! As you can see above, it’s called The ABCs of Marketing: Rumors and Lies the Online World Has Spread about the Ancient Art of Marketing (you can click here to preview the first 15 pages or to purchase. See below for important information regarding the e-book).
If you have been to this blog on a semi-regular basis over the last year or so, you may have seen some portions of this book already. I published letters A-Q here on the blog, although they have all been slightly modified for the book. Letters R-Z are only available in the book, however.
So what is this book about? Well, with one of my feet in the more “traditional” marketing world and the other of my feet in the online world, I have a sort of unique opportunity see both sides talk about the other. There are certainly plenty of people who still don’t really “get” social media. But it’s been interesting to see how the online world has begun talking about many core principles of marketing. Indeed, some online personalities have gone so far as to declare marketing dead (along with everything else). This kind of statement has always struck me as being rather over the top, but just saying that doesn’t really create a solid basis for conversation. And conversation is what I think marketers online and offline need. Too many people are painting with brushes that are too broad. “Agencies are bad.” “Email marketing is easy.” We need to talk about these things in productive ways for the betterment of companies operating in this crazy world.
I’m really hoping that people who read this book will start asking their own questions. I hope this inspires some more useful, helpful conversation than what seems to be the norm these days. I hope it helps people who are getting messages from the online world that might not jive with their offline experiences.
If you are interesting in purchasing this book, there are a few things I want you to know.
As of now, the book is only available for Apple devices (iPhone, iPad). The book is also only available on Blurb. If things go well I will look into moving the book into a more readily accessible platform.
If you want to purchase the book, click here.
Please ignore the option for the print version. Blurb just requires that you have that option present.

Congrats, Margie! Let me know when it’s available on Kindle!
@Elaine_Fogel Thanks Elaine. I’m hoping Blurb updates soon so that e-books are available on more devices. Right now I’m pretty locked in. I’ll keep you posted!
Congrats Margie. I am working on my own “blog to book” with Rachel Thompson. I promise to download as soon as available on Kindle and cannot wait to read and comment.
@BrennerMichael Oh, I can’t wait to read it! Keep me posted!
Congrats, I would love to get this on my new Kindle Fire that I just won from Adam Toporek I know it’s a good read if you wrote it.
@bdorman264 I’m working on the Kindle thing, Bill. I will keep you posted 🙂
congrats. I guess I need to check this out. Especially if the letter K has something nice to say about Ken.
@KenMueller Um…um….it’s insinuated….:)
Big congrats, my friend:) Cheers! Kaarina
@KDillabough thanks dear lady 🙂
Margie, congrats on your first eBook. Read the preview and looking forward to your unique and insightful perspective on the varied options available to help companies select their optimal marketing platform.
@maximumharvest Thanks Rose. I very much appreciate that!
Dear Ms. Clayman: I know this will sound weird, but I am just so proud of you I am close to tears.
Well. Done.
@AndreaDonahue Awww. Thanks lady. That doesn’t sound weird, just wonderful 🙂
Congrats Margie!! Well done!
@susangiurleo thanks Doktah Gee!
Margie,
It’s the most logical next step. You are a brilliant and prolific writer. This I am sure is just the beginning of many to come. Your book is now on the Top Shelf of my iPad library next to Divine Justice by Baldacci, and Winnie-The-Pooh.
Yours Truly,
Gaga
@Gaga Divine company!
I don’t know if it’s the most logical step but it is definitely *a* step. We’ll see what happens 🙂
Thanks, Susan!
