Give to Get

by Jonathan Green

Most businesses operate, unintentionally, by treating their customers with apathy or garbage until they start spending money.

Tell me, would you be more interested in someone who charges you $1,000 from the get go to learn their secrets to make your first thousand dollars…

Or would you be more interested in the person who first GIVES you their secrets to your first thousand dollars… free of charge?

When someone starts a relationship with you by giving, you're automatically going to be more receptive, more open to what they have to say, more likely to give them something in return.


My Extreme Giving business is prepared for the unexpected.; It has multiple streams of income so if something happens, I can still feed my family. It can adapt when threatened.

After over a decade of experience, I've finally stumbled upon the 'holy grail' of business strategy. And I want to give it to you.

By the end of this book you'll








This is not a difficult concept. Give, to get.
If you don't grab the book and you walk away building with just that notion, you can do great things.
However, if you want to fully understand the intricacies of this model and how to best leverage it to your advantage and build a bulletproof business that's right for you, this is the book to read.

Great book. For example, finding where is your audience is really important. I was a geek seeking answers about dating beautiful women. Then, one day, a geek website I was visiting often put a link to a website selling digital products on this subject (the webmaster wasn't even using an affiliate link, and he really benefited from the products, since he quickly married a beautiful woman by applying what he learnt). The website selling these digital products was giving a lot of great content for free. It was clear and easy to understand. It was also the reason I spent hundred of dollars there. The guy knew what he was talking about, since it took him years of hard work to find answers, until he found how to be successful with beautiful women.

In Give to Get, Jonathan lays out the interesting core concept of Extreme Giving and explains how it works. As Jonathan says:

“The more content, value and love you give to your audience, the faster your business will grow. It’s the opposite mindset of many businesses
that treat visitors like garbage until they start spending money. The idea is to give more than your competition...”

he expounds upon principles such as FREE DOESN’T MEAN CHEAP, explaining that the free stuff you give must also be good, and this is where a lot of businesses drop the ball.

This is a thought-provoking book filled with practical suggestions and examples as to how to put his principles into action. Read the book to learn more about how you can Give to Get.

This book is about a popular strategy out in the business world right now - giving first before you can get. It has been getting a lot of talk and promotion. Yes, it certainly works, but this particular strategy has also been in practice for quite a while with ethical business owners. Not too bad a read, but it does get a little wordy, sometimes drifting a bit off topic.

A good read for those who like a lot of stories thrown in the mix...perhaps not so great for those who prefer succinct, to-the-point content.

Read it to learn more and decide for yourself if this is a worthwhile strategy to use in your business.

I love the concept of giving & reciprocity.
This book is nicely framed with snapshots of the author’s life experiences and how he made his own successful business and lifestyle happen.
I have some doubts that this works across all industries and for more introvert personality types. Also, it’s a matter of experience and access to resources. Like any business strategy, personalize and adapt to fit your reality.
Overall it’s a good read that is a reflection of an authentic personality and presents a refreshing style of business strategy

In Give to Get, Jonathan Green does a superb job of explaining how giving value away can result in greater value for you. More than just a simple "give away free stuff to get sale" Give to Get lays out a clear explanation of the depth and complexity of giving to build mutually beneficial relationships. This is the best explanation of how giving freely is a part of good business. I had to read it more than once and plan to read it again and again to get all the concepts deeply ingrained in my thinking. this a book worth your time, money and attention.

I’ve been following Jonathan for some time now and have been introduced to many new authors and their perspectives from his book giveaways but didn’t know the big Why and reason for his generosity. This book not only gives an insight into his extreme giving but reading the story of his journey and the precious guidance that he shares freely in this book will certainly impact my idea of giving to receive without any hesitation. Highly recommended read for all business persons who want to give but are ambivalent.

This book has inspired me to try some new things as I build my business. Actually, I'd say that it gives me the courage to follow my own heart and give a lot to my customers. Jonathon shares a lot of stories about his own life to show how putting the customer first, really caring about giving them free content that will make a huge difference, has led to him creating a business that is fulfilling for him and offers a lot of value to his customers and colleagues.
There's a lot of great ideas in here for the aspiring or established entrepreneur. I highly recommend it.

If you are new to the concept of giving in order to build your business, this book is for you. You get to learn about the concept but also to see how someone who does think and honestly the mindset is half the battle.
Jonathan does a good job of taking you in my sharing his own story and then deliver the simple, basic principles.
If you are already versed in the concept, this book will mostly feel like a basic refresher but you can still enjoy Jonathan’s stories if you like his other writing.

An interesting look at how you can build a future-proof business by giving things for free. Freebies will attract customers and keep them interested in your business, even if you make a mistake or if they're struggling economically. This book contains examples of the author's own experience with business--and some other interesting stories about his life.

If you own a business, want to own a business, or work for a business, this book may provide useful and valuable information. Stressing how giving to your customers leads to untold benefits, this book helps guide you to creating a successful business. My only issue with this book revolves around his emphasis on himself and his successes.

Jonathan Green's approach to business is inspiring and refreshing. This heart-centered book is full of ideas that may, at first glance, seem counter-intuitive for the business-minded reader. But his methods make a lot of sense, and I can't wait to implement his strategies in my own business.

The book stresses the importance of giving to your customers. Once you let your target base of customers know of the quality you provide, you will see the benefits in loyalty and profits. It's a commonsense approach to business. Sometimes the author is long-winded, but he still makes great points when it comes to how you approach your business.

The best of the series

I have read all books in this series and enjoyed this one the most. I completely agree with Jonathan's premise that giving is the best way to grow your business. My plan for 2025 is to implement this into all of my businesses. Very well done.
