Accelerate! Move Your Business Forward through the Convergence of Search, Social & Content Marketing, my step-by-step content marketing book is now available on Amazon.com.
I have many people to thank for helping to make this book happen. The following business owners, entrepreneurs, fellow Internet marketers all contributed to the book.
Jay Baer, CEO of Convince & Convert and author of the Now Revolution, wrote a really awesome foreword, like super awesome. I highly recommend you read it and can download it free along with the introduction and first chapter! But of course the very best way to read it is in the book itself 
In addition, some well known industry experts provided great insight in their area of expertise to kick off each chapter. Thanks to each of them!
