Gift copy of Reality Check for Twitterfeed buddies

One of the most powerful methods for promoting Alltop is the use of Twitterfeed to automatically post Alltop updates to Twitter. Hundreds of people do this--reaching literally tens of thousands of people for us. Can social marketing get any better than this?

In appreciation for your support, I'd like to give you a copy of my new book, Reality Check . For those of you who are already signed up, simply send an email with your Twitter account name and your shipping address to:

neenz@alltop.com

For those of you who would like to start evangelizing Alltop, first go to this page to sign up:

https://twitterfeed.com/alltop

Then send your Twitter account name and shipping address to neenz@alltop.com. We will then verify your name against the Twitterfeed database. We also ask that you have at least 25 followers to qualify for this gift.

Just so you know, you will get comments from some followers about "Alltop spam," and some may even stop following you, so there is a cost to this. However, we auto tweet no more than twice per day to your account. When you see the counter at 450, this promotion is over, so move fast.

Thanks!

Guy Kawasaki

Thank you so much Guy. I've been trying to figure out how I could sneak a copy of the book into our budget. By the way, I've had the feed running almost since it started and haven't had a complaint (that I know of).

Just sent my info. Thanks

jeremy said...
Damn... bought a copy of the book on amazon last night. Still, if it is one tenth as good as the reviews I've read so far say it is, it will be worth every penny.

KayBallard said...
I am proud to consider myself a Guy Groupie, but can't seeing going with this program. Sorry, Guy. However, I definitely will buy and read your book and am still hoping I will be able to buy a Kindle edition.

Already bought the book, but when it came in from Amazon, my brand strategist grabbed it, took it home and is now holding it hostage!
She is in charge of our coffee brand, Plain Joe (www.plainjoe.com) and is on twitter at @plainjoecoffee

I will alert her to the fact that Karma is now alive and well!!

Katja Presnal said...
Thank you so much! Looking forward reading your book.

Hope you plan to ship to Israel. Looking forward to being an evangelist for Alltop and Guy.

Thanx for the opportunity.

Valerie Gonyea said...
Thanks, Guy! I got in just under the wire!

Lisa Marie Mary said...
Thanks so much for this opportunity, Guy! This rocks! I'll gladly evangelize for you guys! :)

Lisa Marie Mary said...
Where is the number that Guy is talking about? The 450 - where can we see that?

Anjali said...
Thanks Guy. As the previous commenter asked - how do we know when 450 has been reached?

JeffSays said...
Holy Kaw!!! I was #449!

Vineesh said...
Evangelizing Alltop has not been worth any price for me as yet.
Still awaiting the precious book (I was in top 300 or so to subscribe for the twitterfeed), but I figure now I ought to order it and also remove Alltop twitterfeed.
Thanks for the opportunity.

this is what happens when u do things to obtain things. you ought to do things because you love and believe in things. book or no book, i believe alltop is conceptually brilliant and is a template for greater things that can be implemented online using the path they've already walked.

Rufus Dog said...
@Vineesh the book is a bonus. The real value is in actually USING alltop.com. Don't just do things for what it gets you but rather how it changes the world for the better. Buy Reality, read it and do something for yourself. Then, when your free copy comes, pass it along to someone else.

Vineesh said...
@arthurficial Been doing things that I love to do and one of them was being an ardent follower of Guy, which I still am. Not sure how is Alltop is brilliant, since it's essentially an RSS feed aggregator of the best blogs, but not all the ones I prefer reading.
Check http://world.startuplogic.com/. Created by a couple of my friends in less than hour (before Alltop did it too).

@Rufus Dog The book is what I give immense value to. And just did what you said. :)
Have ordered the book and then the free copy lands up in my hands too. Looking for someone worthy of the book.

@Guy Received the book. Thanks for taking the time out to write to me. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused. Would be signing up for the email list.
Thanks again for your prompt reply and the wonderful book too. :)

I am reading the book now, thank you Guy and Neenz! And thank you Guy for tweeting about my comment, it made my day and brought me many more followers than I had lost for tweeting about alltop.com. I like alltop, by the way.
