I have been involved in internet marketing about 12 years now. I have read many books about internet marketing but really enjoyed reading this one. This book is great because Clark shares some of his true life internet marketing experiences. Once I started reading this book, I kept on reading. I was able to grab some helpful information from the book that I have already implemented into my business.
Thanks Clark for this great guide!

I must admit that I was a little hesistant about the book by its title but
I found it to be a surprisingly well written book. This book focuses on the topic of Internet Marketing which has been a topic of interest that I have dabbled in however I haven’t been able to make it work to my advantage. I learned more about sales and marketing along with looking at a product more in depth to find out if the product will be worth spending time on. I thought about past products I have promoted and learned that there was more I could have done to make the product more marketable. This book made me think about my own skills, in addition to hobbies I may be able to market. This book was also helpful with setting goals and creating and overall vision of making my online business into a complete reality from start to finish.

“Strange Business: The Unconventional Guide to Internet Marketing” by Clark Covington is a simple guide in promoting and maintaining a successful business online. He gives realistic and honest advice about what it takes to make a business work. The author is also using personal experience to make his claims more concrete. Not only does Clark include what marketing schemes work, but he talks about what doesn’t work.
What I learned from the book is that you need the help of all types of media outlets to market your business and that it work better with the help of others rather than doing it all on your own. This is a book that is easy to comprehend and to learn a lot from.

“Strange Business: An Unconventional Guide to Internet Marketing” by Clark Covington is not a book for people wanting to get rich quick on the internet with 1-2 hours of work a week. One of the key points of this book is that to make money (Honestly) on the internet take time and effort.
This book has several aspects to it. In one way it is an autobiography of Mr. Covington’s life and growth in the Internet marketing business. It is also a way to give back to the community as a whole by providing mentoring concepts and advice throughout that will help most small internet businesses to grow and profit. At times the autobiographical aspects of the book make it feel a little long winded and make you want the author get to the point. At the same time they give the book a feeling of heartfelt sincerity and a personal desire to help others that most books on a subject like this do not have.
If I were involved in an internet marketing business (as I hope to be in the future) I can see where I would want to incorporate many of Mr. Covington’s suggestions into my business plans. Mr. Covington presents a dozen or so key points that that can help most any website owner.

Clark Covington’s book Strange Business: The Unconventional Guide to Internet Marketing is a great book to read.
Unlike some other books I have read, the information in this one is truly useful. From the very beginning you will receive tips on how better to market your business. The information he gives is based on his own experiences, what has and hasn’t worked in the past.
This book is not full of get rich quick false promises, but rather the tools needed to make your hard work pay off. He never gives you the illusion that it will be easy or fast, but he makes you realize that you don’t have to do it alone. He explains where you can go to get help when the time comes.
I would definitely recommend getting this book and keeping it as a reference for future use.
