I'm excited that Monday is the official release date for my book Get Seen. I wrote Get Seen, this year, to compile all the knowledge I've gained about sharing video online.
Thanks to those of you who have already purchased the book or ordered it online.
What's in the book
In addition to everything I know about choosing a camera, lighting, sound, editing, hosting, conducting interviews, making videos without a camera and going live, I've included interviews with many successful online video creators. In the book I cover connecting with viewers, smart use of metadata, creating niche content, having passion for what you are doing, uploading everywhere, and understanding distribution and marketing.
Moving the Secret Needle
When Chris Brogan wrote a similar post about his book, Trust Agents, he needed 768 sales to moove some secret book publishing needle. My book also has a sales needle too, but it's a secret to me. ;-)
Buy Get Seen on Monday January 18th
If you can buy one, or hundreds for your company, Monday, January 18th would be the day to start ordering online or buy a copy in your local bookstore. Any orders in this initial week are inportant.
