Book Review – The Viral Video Manifesto [VIDEO]

12/02/13
By Mike McGrail




When you review a book about creating videos, you really should review it via video. So that’s what I did. Hopefully this isn’t too traumatic for you. I even squeezed in a topical ‘joke’. Ooooo, get me. Sorry about the quality of picture, a lot has been lost when transferring to YouTube.

Win a copy of the book

If you’d like to be in with a shot of winning a copy of The Viral Video Manifesto, all you have to do is link to a video you love in the comments section below, I’ll pick my favourite and the winner will receive the book. I’ll ship worldwide. I’m nice like that. You can buy the book here (please note this is an affiliate link, meaning if you buy it via that link, we receive a tiny % of the cost, at no extra cost to you, of course).

You can now sign up to receive our blog posts via email – that’s the full post by the way. Simply enter your email address into the ‘Get our posts via email’ box in the right hand column of the blog. We won’t use your data in any way, shape or form.
