A few weeks back, I did my first Anti-Sell talk in a long while. It was for The Indie List, a freelance marketplace site in Ireland. I wanted to mention it and share it on here because it covered a lot of ground – not just what’s in the book, but also some stuff that only appears on this blog, and also I believe some other stuff that doesn’t appear in either.

In Anti-Sell I mention various ways you can network using social media. And while I don’t talk specifically about the phenomenon of viral marketing, it can be a side-product of being active on social media.
