Launch: Pitching Hacks, The Book
- sam_in_nyc 18y agoI read the samples it and seems decent... although heavily spaced with large nicely formatted quotes. I feel like I'd blow through the whole 83 pages on a lunch break. But of course, this might be a good thing... often times the best advice is succinct. I'm on the verge of buying it, but I probably won't for two reasons. One: many VC's and entrepreneurs have done such a great job at disseminating this information that it's basically free. I don't mind having to do some digging around to put the bits together. Two: I want to help out. If I save my $20 for myself to continue working on my hack, then at some point I can pitch to these guys and eventually make them more than $20 richer... so it really is to their own benefit.
- yokumtaku 18y ago$19 is the cost of lunch and a couple of lattes. While I don't need the book to learn how to pitch, the humor/entertainment value by itself makes it worth skipping lunch to buy. (Note: this is an unsolicited advertisement. Nivi, if you see this, perhaps you can set up the equivalent of an Amazon affiliate code so I can make 4% off each copy.)
- kubrick 18y agoWhen you buy it (I just did) you get a message with a $5 discount code in it ("for your friends"). I'd share it here (aren't we all friends here?) but I'm not sure if that's OK with the authors. Is it OK?
- coglethorpe 18y agoPlease share it. But only with me, of course.
- pclark 18y agothe code is PITCHINGROCKS
- nivi 18y agoI'm one of the authors. It is totally OK. Thanks for thinking of us!
- pclark 18y agoI bought it. It's okay. Most of this is on their (very awesome) website, I think. Its a bit too heavily spaced in general.
- skmurphy 18y agoGood practical advice--also useful for bootstrappers--boiled down to 83 pages.
