Why all these books and what will you get?

This series of marketing books is yours because you deserve to know the truth - and they're coming to you in any version you like.


Essentially, ebooks, paperbacks, PDF's, ecourses, and (later) video courses and audiobooks.

The idea is to make it possible for you to have a complete library of Marketing Classics by proven experts - wherever and whenever you want it.

Some like it on their smartphone, or e-reader. Other's like the touch and weight of a paperback - where they can dog-ear and highlight and underline to their heart's content.

We're also going to make these into ecourses with downloadable PDF's so you can study them thoroughly, printing out just what you need. As well, we're on the look out for existing audio versions of these books to link for you (like Librivox does so well.)

As we can, we'll later do video's, to make full courses for in-depth study.

Whatever you like, you should have it your way.

Sure, this is a lot of work.

Knowing and understanding tested and proven copywriting and marketing basics is the key reason and purpose behind all that's being done here.

My own story is that I was studying someone who was (as it turned out) a fake. He did give one great advice - learn to write great copy and you can accomplish almost anything. That guy made literally millions, but could have made more - if he'd only studied the Marketing greats who lived and wrote about what they knew before he was born.

When I did my own study of marketing, this is exactly what I found. The basics of Marketing, like the basic motivations of humankind, haven't changed since before written history started. They've been refined, true. Unfortunately, the vast bulk of the "guru" books out there today aren't based on true basics that work. They are instead based on short-cut marketing gimmicks which only work once or for a very short while.

That is why there is a "latest craze" going all the time - and why people hate advertising and salespeople.

There are underlying basics that these few recent "greats" either haven't learned, or won't tell their own readers about. Once you understand those basics, then the whole world is open to you.

You only have to find them, study them, and apply them.

The finding part has been done. Not that you can't find more - but a dozen books will set you off on the right path. Others will show up for you as you need them. Even in this case, I had to stop and editing additional books into this series because they made a point which supported all the Master Classics.

Right now, I'm busy editing a (hopefully) final book into this series and then will get back to publishing them. The bulk are up on Lulu, Kobo, and Google Play right now. Next will be Amazon, iTunes, and Nook. Wrapping it up with be Leanpub, where you'll be able to get these as one complete set of digital versions. I'll also create some packages for most of the books individually, so you have additional data which couldn't be included in the editing process.

As these books are published, I'll update each individual page for that book so you can get the different versions of each that are available.

The paperbacks are all available on Lulu right now, but I'll be finalizing the proofs so they can ship to Amazon and every bookseller on the planet via Ingram.

All just so you can get the version of any or all of this series you want.

Your welcome.

Have fun with these. I am.

Your new Masters of Marketing Secrets Books are on their way...

The library of experts you've always wanted is nearly yours. Almost...


Just a few short downloads and you can have a boardroom of experts on your smartphone or tablet. Nearly...

While I really need to take the time to lay reviews out - this will come eventually. Right now, I'm busy getting them posted to the last distributors: Kobo and GooglePlay. (Sorry, no Amazon as yet - but these will come. You see these are in the public domain or open-source, neither Amazon likes - so they'll take extra editing just to get them published there.) And then there is Leanpub, so I can get you binders and packages of goodies...

What I will tell you is that there are 9 books, 8 authors, and I'll be doing reviews of them as I go (starting immediately after I get the last one put into it's last "new bed.")

There's also some extras - little books and not-so-little, which either give you some insight about the early days of advertising, or more authors from that time period to enlighten you further about the evergreen marketing basics.

I just stole some time to keep you posted.

Right now, I've got them all set up on Lulu, both as epubs and paperbacks. Lulu is posting to iTunes and B&N for me. Those last two will show up in a month or so, but both Kobo and GooglePlay should show up in a couple of days from when I post.

Leanpub will be done after those two. I'll be able to put them together in a single binder for you, as well as various packages with other additional material for your study.  Leanpub will also give you PDF's and mobi versions - without all that "also-bought" noise that Amazon shovels around. (Nice folks, over there at Leanpub. And the best royalties in all of self-publishing. I think you'll like them a lot.)

Anyway - I have to get back to business here. There's a couple of other books I have been needing to publish for some time, so these are going up as well - a little added time, but not much.

Keep yourself posted. If you haven't subscribed (email or RSS-feed buttons above right...) do it now. And leave a comment if you have one.

Cheers!

Update: Lulu has gotten finicky about public domain books. They won't distribute them further than their own site. An author with a derivative work now has to self-publish directly to all the major distributors. (See link for their apparent reasoning.)

This means they aren't going to show up on iTunes right away, but gives me the incentive to get them up on Amazon, which will be better for you.

Next is to get the reviews of each worked up and then a summary chapter to add to each book which aligns these into a coherent system. Meanwhile, I've found another couple of books which will fit well into this series. I'll be putting them into one book for you, so stay tuned...
