Seth Godin for $1.00 or Less

As always, Seth Godin has hit another home-run! His new book Tribes tells us how to lead our organizations.

Tribes are everywhere, in companies large and small, and their members are hungry for connection, meaning, and change–in other words, for leadership. For the first time, explains Godin, everyone has an opportunity to lead, not just be bosses. In Tribes, he explains how.

Seth has a Squidoo lens that lists 86 (so far) reader-submitted ways to build Tribes, and they are so right-on! The lens is called Tribe Building Tactics.

 

 

Seth says: By tactics, I mean specific things you can do to engage people, to build community and identity, to create connections and participation. Online or offline.

Now his book Tribes is available as an iTunes download for less than a buck, or from Audible for free, other than your name and email address. The links are also available here on Seth’s blog.

I’m downloading my copy now!

 

If you’d prefer a hard-copy of Tribes, you can get it here.

Seth Godin - Internet Marketing Guru and Creator of Squidoo

FOR THOSE OF YOU who don’t know Seth Godin, he is an Internet marketing guru, writer, speaker, and the creator of Squidoo.

What is Squidoo? It’s an outrageously popular website that lets you create a “lens” (basically a web page) about whatever you are an expert in.

Think you’re not an expert on anything? Think again. Seth says that everyone is an expert on something. Read his free eBook - Everyone Is An Expert - and find the expert in you!

Squidoo has Google-type ads on it, and you can earn the money generated from the ads. You can have 100% of the revenue, or you can give all or part to the charity of your choice. And if you have a website, a Squidoo lens will most likely generate a ton of traffic to it. More Seth » » »
