A #1 bestseller with a 4.5-star rating, it offers practical strategies backed by real-world examples, making it a must-read for marketers and business owners aiming to thrive in a customer-centric digital landscape. ## Description The New York Times best seller, and #1 desertcart best seller "Jay Baer's Youtility is arguably the greatest contribution to the field of social media marketing since 2012." ~ Dr. Jim Barry, Top 25 Social Media Books for Academia " If you haven't bought Jay Baer's book "Youtility," stop what you're doing and do that. I swear, this is the next big thing." ~ Chris Brogan, Owner Magazine The difference between helping and selling is just two letters, but those two letters make all the difference. What if - faced with more competition than ever before - you stopped trying to be amazing, and just started being useful? Jay Baer's Youtility offers a new business approach that cuts through the clut­ter: marketing that is truly, inherently useful. If you sell something, you make a customer today, but if you genuinely help someone, you create a customer for life. Drawing from real examples of companies who are practicing Youtility as well as his experience helping more than seven hundred brands improve their marketing strategy, Baer provides a groundbreaking plan for using information and helpfulness to transform the relationship between companies and customers. See why Jay Baer's Youtility framework is now a standard part of the marketing framework in many of the world's leading companies, powers the marketing approach of thousands of small businesses, and is part of the curriculum of dozens of college and university business schools. Review: This book is "Content Marketing, The Next Generation" and the simplest content marketing strategy that actually works - It's time we retire "content marketing" as a buzzword because it does not help marketers understand what the heck they should be really doing on the internet to reach their business goals. When you start selling "content marketing", you get "content" as a result. Lots of it. Most of it is horrendous. We're living in the world of abundant, low quality content. We wanted companies to create content, we've got content. Be careful what you wish for. "Youtility" to the rescue! It is the next logical step on the evolutionary ladder of the modern internet marketing because it tells you exactly - and spares no useful, real life examples - WHAT and HOW you should be doing today (2013) to attract customers. "Content marketing" emphasizes the form, while "Youtility" emphasizes the desired end result (a marketing so useful and life enhancing people would pay you for it, but you're giving it away for free). Youtility is the most simple content marketing strategy I've ever heard of because it consists of only one rule: Find out what information your customers NEED so that they could make better decisions, and then give it to them CONSISTENTLY in the FORM they most care for. Youtility first tells you WHY you should engage in USEFUL MARKETING (because market conditions have changed: your customers are in charge now and they do now want to be advertised at). The book then goes to great lengths to give you practical examples of companies of all sizes who made themselves useful to their potential customers without expecting instant results. Smart marketers publish useful information in various forms (articles, videos, apps, real-time tweets...), hoping that by doing so consistently, that the customer will choose them over their competitor when the time comes to open the wallet. The future of internet marketing is to outteach, not to outspend your competitors. The bad news is that youtility marketing is not easy because your rewards are not in your immediate future. The (very) good news is that almost nobody is practicing youtility marketing, which means we all have the chance to "win the information war" (better today than tomorrow, better tomorrow than never). The book lacks in-depth strategy about creating, developing, maintaining and enhancing your youtility marketing, but it gives you enough ammo and food for thought to start brainstorming about the future of your company's internet marketing. No matter whether you're in B2B or B2C, the book tells you what helpful questions you should be asking yourself, where to find out what your customers really need from you, and expands your mind into territories you might have not considered before. From now on - and until the market conditions change again - I will be teaching all my clients about "Youtility" principles. Review: This is a great book for those who are discovering what it means ... - This is a great book for those who are discovering what it means to be a marketer or business owner today. I would highly recommend it for someone in marketing for small to medium sized businesses as well as small business owners. I enjoyed the book but as someone who works for a large firm, it was informative but not quite as applicable. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #339,992 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #272 in Marketing & Consumer Behavior #1,265 in Marketing (Books) #4,530 in Success Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 374 Reviews | ## Images ![Youtility: Why Smart Marketing Is about Help Not Hype - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tltewm+FL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is "Content Marketing, The Next Generation" and the simplest content marketing strategy that actually works *by V***K on August 12, 2013* It's time we retire "content marketing" as a buzzword because it does not help marketers understand what the heck they should be really doing on the internet to reach their business goals.

I would highly recommend it for someone in marketing for small to medium sized businesses as well as small business owners. I enjoyed the book but as someone who works for a large firm, it was informative but not quite as applicable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New Concepts and A Must Read for Industrial Marketers…Especially Industrial Marketers *by T***P on April 23, 2014* Jay Baer covers some basic concepts brought on by the pervasiveness of the web and customers’ changing habits. This may be old news to many consumer-based marketers, but this is ground-breaking stuff for the industrial marketer. Industrial owners and marketers instinctively understand the power is shifting from sales hype to something quite different on the web. Jay’s book does a great job of exploring inbound marketing and why the industrial marketer must pay attention to this book & create helpful content to generate leads from his digital marketing efforts. Although there are no specific examples an industrial marketer can relate to in Youtility, Baer gives a diverse set of examples that could be easily extended to the industrial market. Jay’s concepts can have even more dramatic results for the industrial marketer because of the low content saturation rate for such products as “Limitorque linear actuator repair” or “custom hydraulic manifolds”...etc,etc. Want to get a leg up your competitors, who probably have not even heard of inbound marketing? Get Jay’s book and change your mindset about industrial sales & marketing.
