Description

The short, pithy articles that Seth Godin posts to his blog are a powerful source of
inspiration for marketers, authors, bloggers, and many others. They suggest big ideas,
but leave the fleshing out as an exercise for the reader.

In Riffs on a Purple Cow, Antone Roundy picks up where Seth left off. The book is a
collection of articles grown from the seeds Seth planted. What you'll find here is not
"Seth Regurgitated", but a deeper exploration of ideas.

You'll find stories that illustrate the points. And sometimes, you find Antone and Seth
disagreeing.

Most of the articles are about marketing, with a few other topics mixed in. Titles include:

  • How Do You Create a Mythological Brand?
  • Why It's Hard to Be Interesting and Interested
  • Fools Cash In Where Angels Fear To Tread
  • How to Find Your Own Personal Goldmine of Unique Selling Angles
  • Do Only Cheaters Prosper?
  • Doing Business in an Information-Overloaded World
  • Creating Connections Through Shared Experience
  • Does Everybody Have to Be a Social Media Expert Now?
  • Choosing Your Customers
  • Shiny Old Objects
  • Introductory Reverse-Discount Price?
  • Causal Chains and Solution Chains
  • Which is More Important: Perception or Reality?
  • A Demonstration is Worth a Thousand Words
  • One Man's Hype is Another Man's Truth
  • Mass Marketing for the Social Age
  • An Invitation to Change the World
  • ...and more.
