Product Description

From the Back Cover

What if you could listen to millions of people--customers, employees, competitors, partners, even the media--as they candidly discuss your company, your products, and your advertising? And what if you were able to use this real, up-to-the-minute feedback to determine exactly what your customers want and how to improve your business exponentially? Sound too good to be true? Then you haven’t tapped into the power of the blog.

Today, 50 to 100 million bloggers are communicating on the Internet, expressing their thoughts on and experiences with products, and sharing industry information. With millions of voices being heard, this revolutionary medium is now a worldwide forum. No business can afford to be left out of the conversation.

In Blog Marketing, leading blogging consultant Jeremy Wright explains how and why companies of all types blog and reveals strategies for effectively interacting with customers. You’ll find out how authentic feedback from customers can lead to potential new marketing strategies, innovative new product ideas, and new concepts that will completely transform your business.

Get an exclusive look at some phenomenally successful companies currently taking advantage of blogs including Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, Google, Disney, General Motors, and others, and find out how you can reap the rewards in your own organization.

The business world is undergoing profound changes, redefining marketing, public relations, and customer communications. If you aren’t inviting this change into your own business--and keep in mind, your competitors are--then the writing is on the wall. No matter what your business, blogging is essential to your success, both now and in the future.

If you are new to blogging or perhaps are looking for ideas as to how you can promote your business through blogs, this book is a good place to start. Some good real world examples are discussed and some tips are provided that might raise your eyebrows. It is perhaps a little too long though. I did find myself speed reading at times to get through reiterated points already well made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource 17 Mar 2006
By Andrew Bruce - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I couldn't disagree more with the previous reviewer. I found this book to be extremely informative and a real eye opener. I haven't spent my idle time hanging around the "blogosphere", and have never valued blogs since they semed like glorified public diaries that I didn't care about. The idea that it is vital to get plugged into this whole world of blogging seemed completely alien to me. However, after reading this book I can see that I've very likely been dangerously wrong. So, for the person who has heard of a blog, but doesn't understand all the ramifications, I'd highly recommend this book. You owe it to yourself to at least explore the possibility that someone could be talking about you behind your back, and you are not even aware of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Right Book for the Right Reader 5 Jun 2006
By Brad Shorr - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Though all of the information in this book is available from a zillion online sources, it's helpful to have everything in one place for easy reference. Mr. Wright provides easy-to-read basics on business blogging, including helpful tips on all aspects of blog development and instructive case studies.

I think the best audience for this book is a business executive who wants to start learning about blogging and how it can help his/her company. That should include a lot of people, because blogs may well come to dominate B2B & B2C marketing, new business development and customer retention, product development, and more. Business leaders need to be aware!

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing New Here... 13 Feb 2006
By William D. Mcfadden - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
While it was probably a great deal of work, this author has done little more than regurgitate what is already written in the Cluetrain Manifesto, Customer Relations Management 101, and downloaded from sites on the net. I found very little that was new or enlightening in this tome. I was hoping for some new and invigorating concepts in marketing...but it's not here.
