Famous quotes by Seth Godin:

"Selling to people who actually want to hear from you is more effective than interrupting strangers who don't,"

"Finding new ways, more clever ways to interrupt people doesn't work,"

"What Wonder understood, that Otto did not, is that if your idea spreads, you win,"

"Without a specific reason for the consumer to behave, without a reward or benefit, the overwhelmed consumer will refuse,"

"to click on a link or buy online."

"If a lens makes a penny or a nickel or a dime a day, it doesn't seem like much until there's a million of them."

"The most popular TV show in America is a game show, ... People have been playing our games for years and are playing more and more games. The relationship they build is similar to a magazine that has a subscription base or a newspaper with home delivery customers."

"We've had people who were yoga instructors. ... We have a former marine, and we have everything in between,"

"...it was just not a good thing."

"No offense intended...Most people online are gorillas. When a gorilla walks into an experiment, what they say is 'What do I do now? Where's the banana?'"

"Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person."

"I intentionally abandoned the hard stuff early on because not only do I think it's useless, I think it's a distraction."

"The internet was supposed to homogenize everyone by connecting us all. Instead what it's allowed is silos of interest."

"Do you know what people want more than anything? They want to be missed. They want to be missed the day they don't show up. They want to be missed when they're gone."

"If a product's future is unlikely to be remarkable - if you can't imagine a future in which people are once again fascinated by your product - it's time to realize that the game has changed. Instead of investing in a dying product, take profits and reinvest them in building something new."

"I think that the economics of book publishing favor hits with long book runs. You make all your money on the last bunch of books, not the first."

"The problem with competition is that it takes away the requirement to set your own path, to invent your own method, to find a new way."

"Normal is fading away. Governments and industries and schools like normal, because it's easier, it scales and it's profitable. But people don't like it - we want to be who we are, not who some marketer tells us to be."

"If we live in a world where information drives what we do, the information we get becomes the most important thing. The person who chooses that information has power."

"What tribes are, is a very simple concept that goes back 50 million years. It's about leading and connecting people and ideas. And it's something that people have wanted forever."
