About this listen
Did you know that 70 to 90 percent of startup businesses fail? If you're an entrepreneur and you'd like to avoid being a statistic, then this book is for you.
- Are you thinking about starting a small business, but don't know how to promote it?
- Maybe, you're just looking for a way to turn your hobby into a paycheck?
The truth is creative people love making new things. But when it comes to selling new things - that's where they often flounder. Launching a new startup can be a daunting task. Not only must entrepreneurs create products and manage teams, they must also lure in new customers and convince them to buy.
The solution lies in understanding how to apply the rules that professional marketers have employed for generations. All entrepreneurs must eventually come to appreciate the importance of branding and marketing over other common business tasks - like product creation and design. You may have developed the best mousetrap on the planet. But if nobody knows about it, then you're not going to make any money.
This audiobook will teach you how to launch a profitable startup company.
You will learn:
- How to discover what your competition is doing wrong - so you can take over their market niche
- The four crucial digital marketing channels that can make your brand a force to be reckoned with
- How to stand out in a crowd - differentiating your product from the sea of others
- The six ways to advertise your startup without a budget so you can make more by spending less
- How to master social media marketing and develop a name on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube
- How to utilize the power of brand and storytelling to establish a solid reputation in your market niche
Filled with real-world examples and actionable advice, this audiobook is perfect for newly minted startups or current entrepreneurs who wish to increase their customer base.

Most entrepreneurs, even seasoned brand managers, launch first and then work on slowly transforming the new offering into a brand. A logical progression, I would agree. After all, how can you possibly launch as a brand if you don't have any customers or marketing outreach and - obviously, since you just launched a new offering - you have no legacy or advocates? The simple answer is by design. Design relates to the systematic process you have to adhere to, which is likely the primary reason you have sought to listen to this book.

Unlike traditional marketing mediums, social media doesn’t swallow a huge chunk of your advertising and promotion budget. You don’t need to create cost-intensive and ineffectual marketing plans that leave you broke. All you need is some creativity, perceptiveness, and an intuitive understanding about your audience’s needs. More than sharp business acumen, you need a human touch. Social media gives your brand a human angle without breaking the bank.

Good read, one comment
I like David’s books - straightforward and easily consumable. There was one aspect I did not agree with in this book, and it was that new business owners create their own website. There are a lot of talents that go into a site, it is often where you are turning interest into action and it’s a huge reflection on your brand and company. At a minimum, someone should be reviewing your text, copy etc. Optimally, you should spend some, not a ton, of your investment to ensure this critical asset is working FOR you.
