Thank you so much! The book is well worth the purchase! The audiobook is incredible… read by the author… very easy to understand. My videos help to outline the ideas, but I would definitely recommend the book if you have time. Thank you so much for watching! I’m so glad you liked it. Much love
and don't forget the most important P of all: Permission. Shouting at people who don't care (i.e everyone who doesn't know you), or leaving that tiny "email me" box checked by default in order to 'cheat' onto potential customer's radars is the fastest way to lose trust. and as Seth also points out now, "trust is the only long term currency". especially now all we live in is an attention economy.
Thanks so much for the summary! I’ve come to realize that it really is about being different, standing out… Having developed strategies in order to successfully achieve the goal. I want that. 7:19, haha, nice reference! Those phones really were high quality. It’s even become a meme.
You could not hurt those phones! You could run over them with a dump truck, and they would still work 🤣🤣 thank you so much for watching my summary of Purple Cow, by Seth Godin. It’s one of my favorite books by my favorite author. Seth Godin just did a great interview on Tim Ferriss’ podcast. Definitely worth a listen! Thanks again
Thank you so much for watching my animated book summary of Purple Cow by Seth Godin! It is one of my favorite books of all time, and I am so happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the summary. This is one of my favorite books on marketing of all time, and I’m so happy to share it with you. Much love ❤️
@@MentalEFit Thank you for such a kind reply! 💙 Your videos are awesome - they share so much value in a way that is concise and interesting. Keep up the great content! 😄👏 And yes! What a great book full of modern wisdom, it really gives us the motivation to pursue things that are not ordinary but extraordinary hehe!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m going to get back on it soon! Currently living in a spot where I cannot produce good audio, but I am working on it! Thank you so much for watching! 💛
Thank you! And YES! It really is ... This is one of my favorite books, and I am SO glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for supporting this channel and for always having something nice to say.
An interesting concept, and I really apricate the summary. I need to summarize the summary to really internalize it, so bear with me. This entire thing basically breaks down to: "Create something with remarkability in mind" and "Remarkable things market themselves". 0:44 Product, Pricing, Promotion, Positioning, Publicity, Packaging. Good stuff. I need to remember that. However, does the Purple Cow matter to marketing? Don't you want the designers to design a purple cow? You can't just paint a cow purple without people noticing that they're being duped. I don't think this is a marketing question, thought the marketing stuff is good to know. 2:16 This whole section can be summed up in "Now that anyone can sell anything, you gotta stand out." That gets a big "well duh" from me, but often times those obvious points are only obvious in hindsight, so maybe that's what I'm experiencing. However, it doesn't say HOW to make a purple cow. 4:04 "My goal in purple cow is to make it clear it is safer to be risky." 4:29 The idea diffusion curve. There's already a lot of criticism about the faults in this thinking in the comments, so I'm not going to add to it, but how this related to purple cow is "If you have something that stands out, the marketing cycle will work itself out for you." Great! So we don't need marketers any more, we need better designers. Good to know. 8:06 Either I'm ahead of this discussion, or the book is doing a good job of leading. Again, though, this says, to me, "Marketing is dead, you need to have a remarkable product", but it doesn't say HOW. 10:00 Awesome, now we're gonna get to the How. Finally. 11:10 "If you're worthy of criticism to some, you're worthy of adoration... to others." This is most definitely not true. Sometimes there are just bad ideas. 11:45 "Design -> Test -> FAIL(?) -> Improve" This is very similar to the engineering process as published by NASA, except failing isn't a given, and neither is it in this case. It's a loop in the middle, for sure, but as some point your improvements lead to something you're ready to share. In the NASA process it's "Plan -> Create -> Test -> Improve" until you break out of the test phase and share it. Maybe this should be a bit more like that. In the end it doesn't talk about HOW to actually develop remarkable things, and I think that's because the author doesn't know how to develop. It's clear Seth Godin is in marketing, and the whole omen of this book is that marketing is dead. But I could really use a lesson on how to develop something to be remarkable. Though, to be entirely fair, remarkable doesn't mean useful, or even functional. But that's the world we're living in.
Thank you so much! I love recommendations from viewers like you! Let me order that book and get it in the pipeline! Thanks again for the comment and suggestion, and thanks for the love !
This is the big question, right? I think the best we can do, at least in most circumstances, is identify and cultivate sneezers among our existing consumer base. I have not yet learned how to target or attract sneezers. If you solve this riddle, please share! :) thanks so much for watching
I feel like the innovator / early adopter thing is useful and an entirely real phenomenon, though I think it's misleading to say that the innovators and early adopters want something "because it's new", especially given the premise of this book. I think that you get people like that yes, but you only get them in the first place by having something that those people *need*. Your innovators should first and foremost flock to your product because it's something they don't want to live without. Something they need. From there you start tacking on more indifferent people who are following the masses imo
I agree with you Cory, and I think there must be more than the “it’s new” aspect. There the technophiles and others who want the latest thing, but most of us need to have a want or a hurt stirred up within us to get sold on the new thing. There has to be something that gets the emotion going. I like where your head is at.
@@MentalEFit I think I commented too early and towards the end you touched on this again. Yeah, really gotta find those core people who will "cross traffic" for your thing as godin says
I have to disagree to a certain extent regarding making remarkable things. If you make basic candles or coals, there is still a market that will buy even without marketing. It depends if it’s a need or a want.
I 100% agree with you. I don’t think Seth Godin is saying that Purple Cow marketing is the only way. His book gives us one possible route to our destination, but there are certainly others. Good business people can find other ways to make a product and company successful.
if you read the book he addresses this a lot, or, in a way, that is what the book is actually about. Think of this - candles are needed, but why yours? especially if those markets are already there, the point in the book is mass marketing vs targeted marketing..that the majority cannot be convinced, they have what they need, but a target, niche interest audience can, and then could convince that majority possibly..but if you are talking to everyone you are talking to noone.
I disagree. Even candles can be different. You can make a brand of candles for birthday parties, or a candle that lasts longer, or aromatic candles, or simply just another color candles, or another shape, candles for romantic dinners... A lot of purple cows possibilities! What do you think?
I realized now, Social Media Era brings a sea of Ads. Now, in RUclipsr/Selebgram/Tiktokers' Era, Endorse become the Power ! I wonder what's the next Era ? When influencers can't be trusted again..
I love your thoughts here. I’m not sure that any of us, including the author, could have foreseen the immense marketing power of influencers on social media back when this book was written. However, the same ideas apply. Imagine an influencer going to your restaurant and having an excellent experience. Then, that influencer posts about how wonderful your restaurant is… this, at least it would seem, is quintessential sneezer marketing. I think you nailed it here
Innovators are the people who want in line for hours or even days to get their hands on the new iPhone. 😂😂😂😂 Probably the most stupid thing I heard in 2024. 😂😂
Antozent- they are selling around 250 self help ebooks for the price of one (including this one)
As someone to love to hear others perspectives on books I read, this is very informative. Thank you!

This is a massive point! Godin wrote a whole book on the topic of permission… this comment! To the top!
Just make great products that are interesting and differentiate themselves from others

So how do you advertise to sneezers?

You can easily identify the sneezers by utilizing casodex technology. Thanks
