This Is Marketing shows you how to do work you're proud of, whether you're a tech start-up founder, a small-business owner, or part of a large corporation. Great marketers don't use consumers to solve their company's problem; they use marketing to solve other people's problems. Their tactics rely on empathy, connection, and emotional labor instead of attention-stealing ads. When done right, marketing seeks to make change in the world.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1
Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows.

Why do some products get more word of mouth than others? Why does some online content go viral? Word of mouth makes products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. It's more influential than advertising and far more effective. Can you create word of mouth for your product or idea? According to Berger, you can. Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.

There are four characters in every story: the victim, the villain, the hero, and the guide. These four characters live inside us. If we play the victim, we’re doomed to fail. If we play the villain, we will not create genuine bonds. But if we play the hero or guide, our lives will flourish. The hard part is being self-aware enough to know which character we are playing. In this book, Donald will use his own experiences to help you recognize if the character you are currently surfacing is helping you experience a life of meaning.

A giant ad for their product.
This book is mainly an advertisiement for their marketing product. Every other sentence mentions the title, making it relatively annoying. Marketing doesn't have to be annoying to customers.

great story. but many upsell
The theory seems sound and I like the process the book takes to talk about it, but there are a few flaws. There is an endless string of upsells to get even the most basic worksheet which is touted to be FREE many times in the book. These statements are either simply not true or they are made to be so difficult to locate as to be impossible. In the end it leaves a bad taste in one's mouth to find that the marketing is the same as any other guru touting their wares.

Great concepts but too many sales plugs.
The reader is engaging and the concepts are great! But, I feel like he is trying to sell his products too much in the book. It's understandable why he does it but it takes away from the overall experience of the book.

now in my 30th year of a custom fireplace co..large showroom ..custom wood shop.
great easy to apply ideas . The way the story (no pun intended ) unfolds is easy to follow and apply to my co. I listened to it driving along with a small pocket audio recorder on my dash to record notes of my version of the ideas.
its addictive.

Literally changed my life overnight.
I've been running a business for the last 10 months and I've had less-than-stellar results. My entire business had been built on referrals up until this point. I had not been able to capture leads using actual marketing techniques, and I'm a marketer for god sakes! I just didn't seem to be connecting with my audience with my marketing. A friend told me about this book in very brief description, and something drove me to go out and get it. So I did that very night and I had torn through it by the next morning. I was finished with it by lunch time and I went home to write an email to a group I've been emailing for months now to no avail. I sent the email by 3 p.m. and by the time I woke up at 8 a.m. the next morning I had three people on my schedule. That evening I spoke to a client and negotiated a five-figure deal which I officially closed 2 Days Later. I was at the point of being completely penniless and this book changed everything. If you're a marketer this is an absolute must read. If you're a business owner and need to Market your business this is an absolute must-read.

It is OK.
Would you try another book from Donald Miller and/or Donald Miller?
I don't think I would.
Would you be willing to try another book from Donald Miller? Why or why not?
As someone who says he has written multiple books and now has written one on telling stories, you'd think that he could write one that could hold your attention and keep you interested. Not so much in this case.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
While the reader did an OK job, he lacked the enthusiasm that you often get from books read by the author. Sometimes, it is better to have someone else read the book.
Was Building a StoryBrand worth the listening time?
No, I don't think it was worth the time. The first four chapters of the book consisted of the author providing some high-level information as a thinly veiled attempt to promote his website. From a guy that is writing a book on how to market your brand, I expected to get some value that would hold me in the book. This didn't have it.

Another empty self important marketing book
First, like most marketing books, this one spends a majority of its time on marketing itself to me. Dude, I have already bought the book. Im reading it right now. You can stop advertising. Just give me the content.
Second, I was mildly surprised how the author doesnt apply his own principles in that marketing. The book’s method is the hero, praised over and over in a tone deaf way. Shouldnt, according to the book’s principles, I, the customer be the hero?
Third, none of the actual content seems original and is just basic marketing know how presented in a new annoyingly unoriginal storyline. yoda and luke skywalker. barf.
what a waste of time and money.

If you create things--products, books, sermons, podcasts--this book will help you do it better.
After this book, I am rethinking my messaging on all my projects--both personal and business. Seriously. It's that good.

Every entrepreneur should read or listen to this book.
This book is so rich on content I need to give it another listen. The basics of the book are clarifying your message and making your customer the hero of the story. Miller goes into detail and lays out the framework and gives plenty of real life examples. This is an invaluable business/marketing/branding book.

Clear Message About Clear Messaging
Brilliant work. Succinct, straightforward writing, and most of all effective in achieving results. With his proven track record of success, Don gives candid insight that is sure to help any person who communicates messages (which is all of us). Highly recommend.

Informative, but irratating at times
There was a lot of good information in this book as far as a marketing perspective but I also felt that I was being sold other additional services on top of the price of the audiobook.
At one point in the story, he talks politics which nearly completely took me out of wanting to listen.
It's also extremely short and I finished it in a days time. I do think it was an easy and engaging listen though -- Take the marketing tools they suggest, but ignore everything else.

Moyen mais ok.
UN bon livre utilise mais pour moi qui ne suis pas dans le marketing c est un peu trop de details et je m'y perds facilement .
L´audio est un peu ennuyeux pour moi. donc pas tres agreeable a écouter. Surement mieux en papier.
Bon éléments a l intérieur quand même.

Très intéressant, pratique et concret
Le livre vient avec un accès à une plateforme web pour mettre en application directe tout ce que le livre nous apprend. C’est très concret, va droit au but

Meaningful
Finally a meaningful;perspective to marketing !
Ideal for any heart led leader who holds its creation power back because the market seems overwhelming & the marketing seems to be « manipulating » people.
Thank you !

Honestly such a good read
So practical, I've read several books on this subject and none of them actually provided nearly as much clarity as this one did! Highly recommend :-)

Where’s the story ?
Imagine a book is that it’s all about telling a gripping story so people become returning clients.
A perfect roadmap so you may catch clients’ attention and keep them interested.
Is it this book ?
I bought it thinking : yeah storytelling, I’ve always believed in that.
My experience : it starts off promising, I tend to agree to the general ideas and method. And I’m learning some new things.
And then it becomes noise....
Halfway the book I thought, what did I just read ? What’s this book about the importance of storytelling that can’t tell a story ?
A book that’s about grabbing attention that escapes my attention.
I can’t focus on it!
There’s no gripping story in this book about how to tell a gripping story.
All in all I agree to the outline, to the method, but the book itself doesn’t deliver. Not for me. But of course, it’s all rather personal.
I hope other people got something for their money.
