Guerrilla Marketing For The Home Based Business

Using case studies, anecdotes, illustrations, and examples, the authors present their time-tested arsenal of tools most effective for this new, smaller startup.

Guerrilla Marketers are unique, and they know it and promote it. Therefore, Jason Myers and Merrilee Kimble had to ask themselves: “How can we make this book unique?” After all, Guerrilla Marketing, since the original Guerrilla Marketing book was introduced by Jay Conrad Levinson in 1984, has supported and empowered entrepreneurs, small and medium sized businesses, solopreneurs, and people with ideas that they think can be a business. Where does it all begin? That’s a simple answer: with a strong foundation of Guerrilla Marketing. Jason and Merrilee spend the first section reviewing the strong foundational elements of Guerrilla Marketing and spend the remaining sections of Guerrilla Marketing sharing today’s Guerrilla Marketing tactics, tools, and tips. These are the Guerrilla Marketing resources that every business needs to succeed and generate profits. They also offer a FREE companion course to help entrepreneurs continue to build their rock-solid Guerrilla Marketing foundation. In the companion course, Jason and Merrilee dive deeper with video tutorials, exercises, and the tools entrepreneurs need to build that crucial foundation from which their Guerrilla Marketing success will be born. Guerrilla Marketing also contains 70+ free online tools for small businesses. Jason and Merrilee are continuing Jay Conrad Levison’s unconventional system of marketing. By understanding not only what marketing is but why it works, they give small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) the opportunity to think and grow big. When the power of one’s SMB is understood and what they can do with Guerrilla Marketing, it not only levels the playing field with competition, but it also tilts the playing field to their advantage.
