It’s comprehensive and collaborative effort to compile a wealth of marketing knowledge. It's impressive that it includes contributions from well-known experts in the field, such as Josh Fechter, Hailey Friedman, Juan Felipe Campos, and Gilles DC. Thanks a lot 🙏
'It starts with being authentic about your journey.' This line says it all. BAMF is not just a community. It's a movement saving the world from bad marketing. This book is symbolic of that movement. Top-notch content from people that want to give back to the community and purpose they were uplifted by.
I have been in online marketing and Internet start-ups for more than 15 years. I have seen them all and learned from them all. Never have I seen someone rise up through the ranks as fast and as awesome as Josh. Besides being a super nice guy, one of the keys to his success is that he jsut constantly gives. And it's not like he gives a little and then asks you to pay for the good stuff, he gives you the Good Stuff! For free! All the time! He is a class act and his firm will be in the top 3 media firms in the next 2 years. Guaranteed!
sweet baby jesus this book is gold. Just the contents page makes you want to go through it tonight and implement everything. I've been a member of the BAMF FB group for a while now and every day there is something new. Now I have this. I'm a content / social media strategist myself and everything BAMF puts out is proven and effective. These is no crap here. Get it now.
I've been in the BAMF community for not that long and I've received so much value in such little time with all of the hacks Josh and the team has relayed! This book 📚 is definitely the Bible for growth hacking!!
Josh has been working hard on delivering value to the BAMF community and this book is an example of that dedication to quality and providing uncompromising value.
Pros:Full of great relevant tactics for marketer sto use the minute they read them
Cons:Not sure. Pretty good book.
The distribution model is super dodgy. You have to connect to Facebook messenger and then also give an email address which is never actually used in the process of sending you the book. EDIT: It also opts you in to the messenger subscription, in direct breach of the Facebook usage guidelines. But, I guess, this is a "growth hack". EDIT2: I have absolutely no problem with asking for a messenger or email subscription, that is something completely normal and acceptable in marketing and is a great way for people who are interested to stay engaged with your brand. The difference here is that you do not ask for a messenger or email subscription. You tell people they can get the book by pressing that button, but don't tell them that it will also opt them in to a messenger subscription. And then you ask for an email to which you will send the book, but then don't actually send the book to that email. I assume you add that email to your mailing list given what you've said here. This is absolutely misleading. The user does not knowingly opt-in to these subscriptions, and you aren't told how to opt-out unless you read the book (yes, I did read it!). A simple disclaimer telling the user that by clicking the link they are subscribing to a messenger list would completely fix this.
Just more and more value. Weekend ready for the team and myself well and truly sorted!! I skipped forward to the Epic Events (page 114), some great points in here I'll be using right away.
