The best things in life are free right? Well, I have put together a list of a few must have FREE e-books for all of you. If you know of any other great free e-books then send me a link and I will add them to the list (or you may add them in the comments section). I have found these e-books to be filed with valuable and information for anyone involved with starting a business, new marketing, social media, PR, or technology. They are written by some of the leaders in their respective fields and I highly recommend them to all of you. So, without further adieu.
“The Pirates Dilemma” by Matt Mason
A book that explores the world of youth culture, piracy, new marketing, and the new technology age. I just started reading the book a few days ago and it’s absolutely great, very well written and engaging, I’m sure you will love it. Matt actually has a diverse background and used to be a pirate radio DJ in London. Since then he has written t.v. series, comic strips, viral videos, and has also won the prestigious Prince Trust London Business of the Year Award by HRH Prince Charles.
“Word of Mouth Manual, Volume II,” by Dave Balter
I also just started reading this book and so far I have found a lot of useful information in it. The book retails for $45 on Amazon but since I love all of you so much, here is the link to get it for free. Many of you may know Dave Balter from BzzAgent, if not, then get to know him!
“Bootstrappers Bible,” by Seth Godin
I read this book a few months ago and it really shed some light on what it means to be a startup. Seth goes over the pros and cons of being a tiny company in the making and tells you what you need to do to succeed. Of course, it’s written in Seth’s voice which makes it entertaining as well as informative. Check it out.
“Unleashing the Idea Virus”, by Seth Godin (UPDATED)
Another free e-book from the marketing guru Seth Godin. The Idea virus was written and released around 7 years ago and is still being referenced and referred to do as one of the must read marketing books for today. This book is all about the spread of ideas. Unleash the idea virus.
“The Essential Guide to Social Media,” by Brian Solis
Brian Solis is among the leaders in the social media and PR space. He is the principal at Futureworks PR, which is an award winning PR agency and he also runs bub.blicio.us, a blog covering the social economy (I am a contributing writer). I always enjoy reading Brian’s work because he takes a multiple angle approach to social media and also addresses the issues of culture and sociology. For those of you looking to become better versed in social media, this free e-book is for you.
I hope you find all of these e-books as valuable as I do. Have an e-book you want to recommend, let me know! I would also love to hear your thoughts on some of these books.
Thanks for reading.
