“Trying to appeal to everyone is almost sure to fail, for the simple reason that everyone wants something different!”
Seth Godin

Unleashing The Ideavirus discusses how human interaction, the Internet, and marketing have fused into something like a virus; one that can spread like wildfire, and quickly turn your business or product into all-the-rage overnight.

While the ideas in this book could be hard to swallow for some old timers and successful self-employed people, the ideas presented here might just change the way you look at the world.

Also, if you’ve ever heard someone describe a video, meme, or idea as having gone “viral”, now you’ll know where it all started!

Godin talks about ways that anyone can use their skill and knowledge to provide value for their website visitors and customers, from creating informative content to organizing it in a way visitors can find and understand.

Fipping the Funnel– It can cost roughly 5-10x as much to obtain a new client as it does to keep an existing one happy. Yet all too often, marketers and business-people forget this simple fact, and spend time and money trying to attract new clients when they could have kept their existing ones happy with just a little effort. Godin talks about how giving your customers and brand advocates a voice not only makes them happier, but allows them to spread the word about you for free.

Money for Nothing– There are lots of ways to create content online, but not all content performs as well as others. Investigating the reasons why some webpages are a success while others fail miserably, Godin offers a number of tips for would-be content creators, the most important being to keep any content you create or post “updated, unique and useful.”
