Celebrity Leverage: Book Review (& Comment Contest!)

Jordan McCauley has written Celebrity Leverage, a first-rate guide to boosting your business through the power of celebrity endorsements.

The book shines a welcome light on the business of celebrity.  It can teach you how associating your brand and products with celebrities can increase your credibility, make your products more desirable, and even allow you to raise your prices.

Based on his own experience as publisher of the Celebrity Black Book and building the highly successful ContactAnyCelebrity.com web site, Jordan McCauley explains in detail how you can contact celebrities and convince them to help you. 

After Jordan sent me a free review copy, I was pleased to find that the book is full of the practical details that you need to know to attract celebrity involvement, whether you are new to the Hollywood scene or an experienced PR or agency pro.  Tactics explained in the book (often through case studies or expert interviews) include how to:

• find contact info for celebrities
• get past gatekeepers to reach celebrities
• arrange product placement in movies, TV and videos
• hire celebrities for events or endorsements

The second half of the book also provides guidance on how to build your own brand to make yourself into a celebrity.  Jordan suggests that writing a book, getting booked on TV and radio, and being quoted in newspapers are all additional steps toward positioning yourself as an expert and eventual celeb yourself.

Valuable lessons for marketers and business owners in today’s age of celebrity.

Robert Kiyosaki Cash Flow Quadrant Book Review by Scott Fox (Video)

Here's my video book review of a Robert Kiyosaki book.  But it's NOT his most famous book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Have you heard of Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant? I like this book even better than Robert's mega-bestseller, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I like it so much that I included a big quotation from it to introduce Chapter 9 of my first book, Internet Riches!

Watch this short video to learn the difference between being an entrepreneur (self-employed) and true Click Millionaire success as a business systems owner.

Please let me know what you think of this book review?
Do you read Robert Kiyosaki's work and what do YOU think of it?

Ask Scott Fox: 3 Ideas, Where Should I Start?

Scott,
Thank you so much for your books I've read both of them.
My purpose in emailing you is to seek your advice on my dilemma.
I have three website ideas: 
         1. A personal keepsakes product
         2. A new investing concept that I’ve learned 
         3. A career advice site (the least important one)
I’m not sure where to start! What do you recommend to help me prioritize?
Thank you,
Jay

Scott Fox’s Answer

Hi Jay,

Nice to hear from you. I hope that you are enjoying your Click Millionaires membership.

Your ideas all sound viable to me – but that’s part of the problem, isn’t it?

Most people have multiple ideas, some they love and some they feel that they “should” pursue because they seem to be more likely money-makers.

I would focus on the one that gets you most excited. I know that sounds simplistic but you are more likely to be passionate and energetic in the pursuit of topics that excite you personally.

Oddly enough, that usually means discarding (or at least postponing) the “money-making” idea(s) in favor of the ones you truly want to pursue.

After all, why create a new job you don’t like when the point of online entrepreneurship is to do something more fulfilling?

To me that suggests walking away from the career advice site (because you say yourself it’s the “least important one”) and focusing on one of the others.

There’s big money in anything that can help others make money, so the new investing idea sounds most promising financially.

But the gift concept is so different from that I’m guessing that’s your more personal interest?

If that’s correct, I would start there. You have obviously already thought about this enough to believe that it has business potential.

By narrowing your focus to that one idea (instead of the distraction of 3), and letting your personal enthusiasm loose, I expect that is the winning strategy for you.

If you’d like to pursue this strategy conversation, or focus more on one of the ideas specifically, please post some questions in the Ask Scott Fox section of the Click Millionaires Forum. That way you’ll get not only my advice but helpful input from other members, too.

I look forward to hearing more!

Best,
Scott Fox

Video: 2 Best Free Social Media Marketing Tools

Here's a short video explaining the 2 tools I find most valuable for successfully organizing social media marketing today.

A reporter from a major national magazine recently asked me about how to organize your social media marketing efforts.  Our conversation got me thinking, so I recorded this video for you as part of my new Scott Fox Online Marketing Show.

The video includes details of how I use RSS feeds and Tweetdeck to distribute my product presence across social media, including automatic distribution of updates to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more.

  What do you think of these tips? Are you using RSS feeds like this?  How about Tweetdeck - is it working for you?   Please let me know in the Comments below.

Linchpin by Seth Godin - An "indispensable" new book

Linchpin by Seth Godin is an inspiring book written to help all of us redefine success in today’s age of change and insecurity.

In this new book best-selling marketing guru Seth Godin helps you recognize the trap of career and corporate expectations to which many of us fall victim. Instead, he recommends taking charge of your own life and career to find success more on your own terms.

As Seth says in the introduction: “…the best future available to us is a future where you contribute your true self and your best work.” The trick, of course, is finding the courage and resources to enable this transition from wage-slavery.

That’s where Seth’s many (often quotable) insights and examples come to your rescue. Linchpin is full of entertaining anecdotes and case studies of real people living better despite how “the rules” have changed in our society.

“You are not a faceless cog in the machinery of capitalism (anymore).”
Like my Click Millionaires Manifesto, the book is really a call to arms for the new decade because it rightly focuses on how and why you increasingly need to differentiate yourself to succeed. Changing your approach to counter today’s job insecurity means becoming “indispensable” (aka a “linchpin”) by not being afraid to contribute your own initiative and creativity whenever possible.

If you’d like to learn more about how to do that and be inspired to take the steps needed, order your copy of Linchpin today.

I really enjoyed Linchpin and recommend it because it echoes so many of the themes we talk about here at the E-Riches Success Blog and in the private Click Millionaires Forum every day.
