Slow to Start, but Brilliant Advice on Execution

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

I'd recommend this audiobook to anyone interested in building PR for themselves, their company or their product. This book falls somewhere in between a detailed how-to-guide and a collections of tips, sites and wisdom about doing PR well.

Although it started out as one of those

What did you like best about this story?

The collection of the Top 10 - 20 tips within several of the chapters, including top tips when pitching on the phone, conducting interviews, emailing journalists etc. This book (and its PDF included) will actually prove to be a great resource in each step of the process.

Have you listened to any of Richard Laermer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Nope - he's actually a good speaker and reader. He also updates his content as he talks.

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

No - I wouldn't listen to this in one sitting. Each chapter is worth thinking about and taking notes from.

Any additional comments?

This is actually better to listen to then read. I have the book, as well, but I feel like the content was a bit meatier and real in the audiobook.
