Roundup of Seth Godin Posts Seen and Read

Yes, I'm catching up on my GoogleReader. No point in pretending otherwise. You're sure to figure it out.

One reason Seth Godin is brilliant: Strangers and Friends

If you haven't read his, Permission Marketing, I strongly suggest it. PM still works best.

This is another keeper, Thinking about business models. However, I'd read Get Known to cut through the confusion factor. Writing a book can really help you clarify who you are as a writing professional and what you have to offer. If you are trying to do and be everything for an audience, chances are you are not making as deep an impression as you might think.

More brilliance: Mechanics vs. Intent

I could seriously kiss him for writing this one: A million blind squirrels

Brilliant quote: Big enough is big enough, biggest isn't necessary.

And another: Let me be really clear: My job is not to tell you what to do. I don't know what to do. You do.

Wow. And another: Prediction: 90% of your sales will come from word of mouth or digital promotion by 2011. How do you change what you're doing today to be ready for that?

I'd kiss him for this too: Snarky vs. Earnest

Nonfiction book writers will want to read this one: Blogs, books and the irony of short

In this post, Seth asks "What do you call things you disagree with? I call them baloney. What do you call them?

This is a great end-note: Opening acts and rock stars

So which are you? The opening act or the rock star?

I'll tell you what I think: Seth Godin is the real rock star. The rest of us can only aspire to fill his...er...head. (But let's face it--pun intended, Chris is great too.)
