Robert Scoble Contributes the Foreword to David Meerman Scott's New Book
Scoble, Vice President Media Development at PodTech.net, co-author of Naked Conversations, and popular blogger at Scobleizer.com crafts the perfect scene setting essay for Scott's "The New Rules of Marketing & PR: How to use news releases, blogs, podcasts, viral marketing & online media to reach your buyers directly."
Technical evangelist and author of Naked Conversations Robert Scoble, whose blog scobleizer.com is one of the most popular in the world, has written the foreword for David Meerman Scott's latest book The New Rules of Marketing & PR: How to use news releases, blogs, podcasts, viral marketing & online media to reach your buyers directly.
"You're not supposed to be able to do what David Meerman Scott tells you in this book," Scoble writes. "You're not supposed to be able to carry around a $250 video camera, record what employees are working on and what they think of the products they built, and publish those videos on the Internet. But that's what I did at Microsoft, building an audience of more than four million unique visitors a month."
"The New Rules of Marketing & PR" shows how to leverage the potential that Web-based communication offers all kinds of organizations, businesses, non-profits, and individuals. The book includes a step-by-step action plan for how to identify audiences, create compelling messages, get those messages to the most consumers possible, and lead those consumers directly into the buying process. Told with many compelling case studies and real-world examples, this a practical guide to the new reality of PR and marketing. Robert Scoble's forward to The New Rules of Marketing & PR can be read in its entirety on Scott's site.
"Something has changed in the past 10 years," says Scoble. "Well, for one, we have Google now, but that's only a part of the puzzle. What really has happened is the word-of-mouth network has gotten more efficient. Much, much, more efficient. But first you'll have to learn to break the rules. By reading Scott's book you'll understand how to gain the credibility you need to build your business. Enjoy!"
