Bob Bly’s book is useful and interesting and worth buying. But it’s not a “real” book.
It’s another collection of writings and ideas recycled from his newsletter and other books. It’s repurposed content: newsletter articles reframed as essays.
This is what I suspected as soon as I noticed the book has no blurbs from well-known people. From anyone at all actually.
There is a preface from someone I have never heard of (that’s probably my fault) that reads like the matter-of-fact informative text you see on a book’s dusk jacket.
Much of the book’s content has already been said elsewhere. Not only in Bly’s newsletter, in the books by Bly and by other authors.
He’s written about the “Motivating Sequence” in several books.
I’ve read about the “4 P’s Formula” in his books and AWAI’s programs.
I first read about the advantages of using jargon to sell technology from Joe Sugarman.
Still, these are good things to be reminded of.
Even if you’re familiar with Bly’s work, you might find a few new ideas that to improve your marketing.
I first heard about doing at least one thing every day to keep the work pipeline full, but hadn’t thought of the double pipeline.
Or if you want to learn a topic, why not write a book about it?
