Critic reviews

" Do It! Marketing has cracked the code on marketing success. And the code is simple - there is no code! Rather David shows you step-by-step how to own the marketing process and get results. No matter what got you here, this book will get you there!" (Marshall Goldsmith, author of MOJO and What Got You Here Won't Get You There)

"One of the most practical marketing books you will ever read - so what are you waiting for?" (John Jantsch, author of Duct Tape Marketing)

This is a "Must read" for any business person.

This is the most valuable business book I have ever read. it is packed with action items that every enterpreneur can use immediately in their business. it is fast-paced and a good listen.

Really Helpful Book

It's worth a read/listen. Be warned however that the extras he alludes to are nothing but info-ads that you'll be signing up for.

Marketing Genius

Highly highly recommend this book for any solo entrepreneurs, speakers or consultants looking to market and build their business. David gives you the big picture strategic view of building your marketing mixed with not only the tactical points and actionable roadmap to accomplish it, but he gives TONS of tips, tools, and resources in addition. My only regret is that I didn't get the book one year ago.

Fabulous book!

This book is well thought out and has amazing insights. You'll have everything you need to accomplish your goals if you follow his well laid out plans!

Truly amazing book

I learned about David Newman from a podcast hosted by my industry’s National Association. I decided to check out this Audible book and I am amazed at the amount of amazing content David shares. I have told everyone I know in business about this book. I listen to at least 2 different business-related books a month for the last 5 years and this is the best one I’ve heard on marketing. You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended.

GOOD Book. However...

What did you like best about Do It! Marketing? What did you like least?

The book overall surely worth 4
The only reason i gave 3, is that there is a lot of self promotion and hidden sales agenda by the author for him self (for example, while writing this review and listening to the book, i heard 2 self promotions for the author, so you can imagine how much self promotion in there...
When i purchase a book, i did not buy a advertisement magazine, i expect it:
1) Ads free
2) Well structures, concise, straight forwards, without lablabla stories
The book could surely have been made shorter (a bit not much), but still every minute for me counts

After all what i mentioned above,
i would surely listen to the book again, because i do believe that there is a lot of useful information in there
i wish i could filter things out

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

would have TOTALLY removed ALL the self promoting agendas in the book

What three words best describe David Newman’s voice?

i do NOT care about the voice
i DO care about the CONTENT

Do you think Do It! Marketing needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

There is not one complete book in the market, i think the question is not relevant over here

Any additional comments?

If i was the author I would have TOTALLY removed ALL the self promoting agendas in the book

informative and entertsining

great narration. learnt a lot of ideas and concepts.enjoyed learning and may read listen again.

Entertaining and informative

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

David's particular style makes this book an entertaining read, and his self-deprecating humor makes the digestion of what he's saying.

What does David Newman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

David brings a frankness and a "You don't have to do X to get Y, you just have to do this and do it well." Where some people would hide behind trying to convince you that they are really important and know things, and if you're lucky by the end of the book they will share their secrets with you, David hands out his thoughts and secrets because he knows how to create that relationship with the reader and than sense of rewarding value being earned by listening/reading it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened this book on the train, picking up where I left off was easy.

100X Worth it!

Great ideas and action plan! This book goes way beyond a few tips. I have to implement these quickly!

Buy a book and read it so we can sell you 20 more.

I would not recommend this book to anyone. BUy the book get 1997.00 in free stuff and every one like the book is a gimic
