Unleashing the Ideavirus - The World’s Most Popular Ebook?

March 8, 2009 by Mark Widawer 

In the Big Bucks Ebook Kickstart Webinar, I talked about a concept that might have been new to you.

It was the idea about your own ebook centering around a BIG IDEA of its own.

Do you remember that part?

If not (and you’re a member of this website), go back and listen to the webinar again…and skip right to the BIG IDEA section in the index, because this is IMPORTANT — in fact, it’s CRITICAL to the success of your ebook’s marketing.

Everything depends on it.

You gotta have a BIG IDEA.

Now, what if your BIG IDEA took on a life of its own? What if your BIG IDEA somehow, miraculously, spread from person to person automatically and by itself.

How would that change your business?

Your business would grow in magical ways, actually.

And that’s what Seth Godin’s ebook, “Unleashing the Ideavirus” is all about.

It’s about creating BIG IDEAS that spread — like viruses. And that’s what Seth calls an “idea virus.”

So, I’ve got a copy of this ebook ready for you to download. But before I give you the link, I want to tell you a bit more about it.

First, you should know that Wikipedia says that Seth’s Ideavirus ebook may be the most popular ebook of all time. I’ve heard that, too.

Second, Set gives Ideavirus away for free, and he even encourages you to share it with friends.

Third, Seth has a paper version of the exact same book that he sells for about $15…and that book reached #4 on Amazon’s Best Seller list.

Interesting, isn’t it? You’d think that giving away an ebook that has exactly the same content as a printed book would hurt the printed book sales, not help it.

But that doesn’t appear to be the case.

So here’s what I’d like you to do.

Download the ebook. Read it. Twice or more.

Study it.

First, I want you to know the content inside the ebook, because if you can use it in your own marketing, you should.

And second, I want you to notice the tactics that Seth used in writing and distributing that book, and in creating that book, that led to it’s phenomenal success.

Then, take your discussion of “Unleashing the Ideavirus” to the forum. I’ve got a special “ideavirus” discussion page on the forum here.

To Your Success,

    Dear Mark:
    I use a Mac and when I click on Unleashing the Ideavirus the comment on the next window says:
    “The file is damaged and could not be repaired”. How do I right-click on a Mac and is this file damaged or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the awesome e-books. Be well, Dr.

    It wasn’t your fault, or your Mac’s fault. The file was actually damaged.
    I’ve reuploaded it, and it works fine now.
    Give it a try.
