Read MoreChris Brogan’s Google+ Book and Free 3 Part Video Series
Chris Brogan is currently (only until Dec 31st at 10PM ET!) offering an interesting deal… buy his brand new Google+ For Business book ($9.99 for Kindle or $15.50 for Paperback) and he will give you access to his 3 Part Video Series on How To Write and Publish a Book.
The book is surely worth $15, so this may be a no-brainer purchase for those who have read Chris’s previous book Trust Agents (which I really liked ), heard him speak or follow his Blog. He is an authority on social media, and if you may ever want to write a book I am sure the video series will be quite helpful.
I just purchased the Google+ For Business Kindle book and emailed Chris my receipt… seems like a smoking deal for only $9.99.
Simply buy the Google+ book through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or 800 SEO Read, then send your receipt to nl@bteam.co (note: not COM, it’s CO), before 10PM ET on Saturday (Dec 31, 2011).
