What did you learn that is applicable on your brand?
 
I just started to read this book “Building a Story Brand 2.0” by Donald Miller to help me with marketing my clothing brand, and I’m really enjoying it so far! Just wanted to see if anyone has read it and has any feedback/results from it.

The book looks promising, but when I saw it was a lead magnet for a big ticket sales funnel, I passed on it.

Does the book give you the entire secret sauce, or does that require a later payment of $10,000?
 
Anytime marketing books come up, I leave the same recommendation: The One Page Marketing Plan by Allen Dibb.

If you like how MJ writes, you'll also like Dibb's style. And considering MJ just said this appears to be a sales funnel, I'd likely skip the bull and read this instead.

And I need to reiterate this everytime lol— I make no money by recommending this book. It's simply the most effective marketing book I've ever came across.
 
Appreciate the replies. Not far into the book yet, and just picked it up at the store without really looking into it so honestly didn’t even put into consideration the whole sales funnel thing. However since @MJ DeMarco will pass, I will definitely reconsider. @TheWiseGuy As for the book you recommended I will definitely check it out! I’ll send an update once I get to reading it! Thanks for the input.

Full of woo woo rah rah theories that are near impossible to put into real application lol

Also, the book is based on the educate-them / inspire-them method in marketing and you need the same budget as Red Bull or Cola Cola to pull it off.

And 6 years ago, I was in the same exact spot as you, reading this book to market my "clothing brand" lol
 
I read the first version. Yes, it seemed like a lead magnet.

The message is valuable though and helps to bring home the mantra every beginner marketer should know—SCAIDA. MJ and others mention that a lot, so you can find details on it easily

I remember being impressed by his short videos on YouTube a few years ago. I don't remember the content/message now mind.
