There’s advice from:

• Chris Brogan (hey, that’s me!)
• Gary Vaynerchuk
• Chris Guillebeau
• David Risley
• Penelope Trunk
• Chris Garrett
• Darren Rowse
• Pete Cashmore
• Jonathan Fields
• Shama Kabani
• Michael Dunlop
• Steve Pavlina
• iJustine
• Brian Clark
• John Chow

and more(?).

What’s covered in the book is:

• Detailed analysis of 15 A-List Bloggers – You Get the Whole Story
• Video, Audio, or Text for your blog? – We Help You Decide
• How to Monetize – Find the Revenue Streams that Work for You
• Learn from Their Mistakes – Cut Your Learning Curve in Half!
• The 5 Step A-List Blueprint – It’s All Laid Out for You

In reading that list of bullets off their promotional site, I thought about bullet #4, “Learn from Their Mistakes,” and my first reaction was, “Oh sure! NOW you can learn from our mistakes, after I made them for 11 years.” But don’t worry. I’ll keep making new mistakes, in case Nathan and Mike want to write Beyond Blogging 2: Electric Boogaloo.

The book is over 200 pages, and comes with some bonus materials that I’m too lazy to list out. If this kind of thing is for you, scrape up some of your holiday gift card money, trade it for paypal dollars, and rush over to their site to pick up Beyond Blogging.

My friend, J.C. Hutchins had a great idea. He wanted to put out an ebook sampler of some authors’ work, a mix of fiction and non, as a free holiday gift (and obviously, as a promotion of the work we’re doing). I love the title: In the Nick of Time (pdf).

Here’s who’s in it:

I’ve written Using the Social Web to Find Work as a free ebook for you to download and share with others. It includes ideas and information from [chrisbrogan.com], and takes you from the specifics of using LinkedIn to your benefit, into some ideas on how to grow and nurture your social networks ahead of a need for them.

It’s not much, but I wanted to help in one way that I know how – by providing ideas and actionable information.

Please share this liberally by pointing back to this original post.

Using the Social Web to Find Work (pdf)

You know me. I love to share. So, I’m offering it up to you as well. Here’s an ebook meant to get your mind started on how social media ties to the more traditional buying cycle. These are some thoughts I’d put together immediately after my presentation, fleshed out, lined up, and with some takeaways that you can use to dig in once you feel comfortable.

Hope it’s helpful.
