Very informative and useful for thinking

I found this audio book really useful for learning about what I should be doing to increase sales in my business. We were having a new website designed at the time (thank goodness) and this audio book gave us loads of new ideas that we actually incorporated into our website design. It also points you to various different sites that I hadn't known about before to check out how well your current inbound marketing is doing. The narrator is easy to listen to (I find some american accents quite hard to concentate with but this guy was good seeing as the book is about 5 hours long). I would say that the information contained is well worth the money.

A Marketing Book that talks sense.

As a confirmed sceptic, I found the book clear and full of great advice. I saw immediate results from using it.

Useful but very US perspective

This is the first book I downloaded related to website building and Social Media use. It is an excellent introduction and contains many useful tips. As a start, it gets you into the right mindset and makes it very clear what thinking is required to use the internet as an effective marketing tool. It is clearly written, the authors have loads of hands on experience and it is well read.



However, the authors are from the US and the perspective is very US. Which is fine if you are from the US or are looking at a global audience. If you are looking at a UK market it is still useful and informative, but 'Pimp My Sight', written by a UK resident, contains more helpful information, links and suggestions for UK would-be website and social media novices.



That said, if you are just considering entering the world of websites and social media for marketing purposes, its a really good start.

I loved this book

I loved this book. It is almost like an encyclopedia of digital marketing, full of useful information, ideas and references to other sources. Even though some of the references are no longer valid, as the field develops very quickly, I highly recommend the book.

well worth a listen - too many tips to count...

this is a really good book that takes you deep into the actions you should be taking, but holds your hand the whole way thorough.

if you are looking to take on the marketing element of your business, then this helps you understand the impact thatbinboundnmarketing will have.

the 'to do' sections alone are gold dust.

I am tempted to buy the book just to have these.

Classic advice

Would you consider the audio edition of Inbound Marketing to be better than the print version?

Yes, primarily because the online content / links have aged. The principles still apply.

What did you like best about this story?

Great introduction to inbound marketing by authors that k now their business

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but it was too long to be able to.

Any additional comments?

Seems crazy to label a book on such modern marketing techniques as a 'classic' but that's what this work is... a great intro to the principles of in bound marketing by a practioner...

A must listen!

I immensely enjoyed listening to this book, but most of all I really enjoyed implementing the tips and stratedgies it offered.
I was looking for a backgound on how some companies social media in order to generate business. I was very sceptical about the
majority of claims out there, that social media is effective for generating business. I can honestly now say that I definitely now know that it is effective. Within two weeks of implementing the authors tips and strategies I managed to bag a new customer on my website and have generated positive revenue from this relationship. The most remarkable feature of this, is that my website is still only now partly complete.

I certainly recommend this book for anyone who would like to change the way they currently market their business.

More than just a good book!

This audiobook was awesome, it has opened up so many new ideas and allowed me a deeper insight in to the world of inbound marketing. I recommend this to any general marketeer or anyone generally interested in social media, business or marketing of any sort. Once you start using the links the guys give you too, you will find on their Hubspot site the same sort of remarkable content that they talk about throughout the audiobook, awesome.
