Weighing in at just over 1 pound – 3 ounces, 8 inches in height, sporting a hardcover and 304 pages – yes, my book is finally ready to show and go.

Duct Tape Marketing – The World’s Most Practical Small Business Marketing Guide is the product of lots of passion, a dose of good fortune, and hard work – not unlike childbirth. (Okay, I do know what a strong women my wife and mother of our four daughters is – ladies don’t pick on me for suggesting that I really know anything about childbirth!)

If this is the day you’ve been waiting for and you just want to know how you can get your hands on the first copies that come off the press, go here to order: (Others, may want to read on to learn about an exciting promotion I have put together before they click.)

For those of you who read this blog and feel you’ve gained a little better grasp of marketing or share a common marketing mind, this is your chance to grab a little piece of something I have poured a lot of myself into and, in a way, toss me a tip of appreciation – that’s the emotional plea at least.

For those of you who want to know why you should order this book – all I can say is that those who have an advance read of Duct Tape Marketing are making strong claims – like the one below:

“I have never read a business book that is as packed with hands-on, actionable information as this one. There are takeaways in every paragraph, and the success of John’s blog is living proof that they work. Duct Tape Marketing should be required reading for anyone who is building a business, or thinking about it.”
–Bo Burlingham, editor-at-large, Inc. magazine

I have put together, what I think is, a blockbuster promotion to celebrate the impending launch of my book. When you participate in the pre-order promotion, you can pick-up thousands of dollars worth of small business marketing products, services and advice from a hand picked collection of small business experts around the world only when you pre-order one or more copies of Duct Tape Marketing now.

I have joined forces with many of the biggest names in marketing such as Joe Vitale, Bob Serling, David Frey, Bryan and Jeffery Eisenberg, Bob Bly, Sean D’Souza, Dave Lakhani, Charley Cook, Catherine Seda and more to put together an incredible collection of bonus materials when you pre-order your copies of Duct Tape Marketing.

The book features a foreword by Michael Gerber, author of the E-Myth and an afterword by Guy Kawasaki, author of the Art of the Start. In addition, you will find over $450 worth of coupons and discounts from Yahoo!Small Business, StockLayouts, iStockphoto, ACT! and LogoWorks inside the pages of Duct Tape Marketing.

My December pre-order promotion allows you to pick up more and more powerful bonuses when you order multiple copies of the book. When you think about it, giving a client, referral partner or prospect a copy of Duct Tape Marketing, a book that will help them grow their business, is the perfect way to say thank you – I’ve made it very beneficial to you to get 10,25 or even 100 copies. (I’ll even conduct a private teleseminar for you and your clients when you buy 100 books.)

Go check out the bonus promotion and whether you buy 1 or 1000 copies, I want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to the many loyal readers and supporters of this blog.

If you’ve ever thought to yourself, that Duct Tape Marketing stuff is pretty good, now is the time to act. Visit the promotion page, pre-order your copies now for January delivery, and tell a friend or two about it as well.
