The Profitable Content System is another one of those books that promises to teach you how to get the best value from your content. In this case, how you can create content that can help you generate sales but it’s not a book with shortcuts. I have reviewed other books by Meera Kothand (you can read them here and here) and she is not one to promise you overnight success. The book is sub-titled, The Entrepreneur’s guide to creating wildly profitable content without burnout, no doubt an attractive title but let’s see what the book focuses on by reading through the table of contents.
The book is divided into three main sections and I’ve outlined each section below with the chapters they contain.
SECTION I – GRAVVY – THAT WHICH FEEDS THE PROFITABLE CONTENT SYSTEM
Chapter 1 – The Stage x10 Framework
Meera describes the stage x10 framework in this part of the book which is a framework to help you identify or understand the different stages of potential buyers and what you can do to engage them. The framework is divided into three parts as follows: Continue reading
There are books you read and you power through them while others you slug through. This is one of those I powered through. What attracted me to this book was the ‘entrepreneur’ in the title, and to be honest I didn’t expect much from it. But once I started reading it, I couldn’t drop the book. This is not your typical entrepreneurial book as it’s not so much about ‘how to create a business’ or ‘the secret of startups’. Rather it is about seeing entrepreneurship as a way of thinking, an attitude, a mindset. In other words it is more about entrepreneurial leadership.
Sometimes you read a book where you grow to like the author and what he/she stands for. This is one of such books. Start Something That Matters by Blake Mycoskie is the story of how Blake started the shoe company, TOMS, but it’s not a business biography. Blake’s intention is to teach and encourage people to start a business using his own experience. This is an endearing book which shows that you can create a company that does good and at the same time make money, and you don’t have to be a mean or bad guy to run a successful company.
There are books that you read which end up leaving an indelible impression on you, for me this is one of those books. Poke the box, is a very small book which you can go through in one sitting.To me it almost doesn’t feel like a book, because it has no chapters or sections. It’s a bunch of the author’s thoughts collected together, but they are inspiring and challenging. This is not an intellectually challenging book, you are not going to learn anything new from reading it, but you will be called to act.
