Hey folks - to fix the "Trust Agents" widget, take a look at the code. There are too many sets of quotation marks; remove the extra ones and the code should display properly for you.

Hey Seafarer,
Ta for you help, however do not know which quotation marks to remove, please assist. Maybe you would re-write both codes for those who wish to post on their sites / blogs,
Since we met at the first PodCamp Boston, you (and Julien) have been nothing but helpful and available. Day in and day out you provide value to me personally and the general community. I already pre-ordered a bunch of books, but I'm going to order more right now. It's the least I can do.
Good luck with the book sales... I'm hopeful this Blog post (and all of the other activities) pushes this right to the top of the "best-sellers list."

Holy cats, Chris Brogan! Would that I could be one of those 200-copy-buying people! :) In lieu of that, I'm eagerly anticipating my delivery from Amazon (you're already down to 766). And, quite frankly, I'll stomp my feet and light a match for you (and Julien), not only because it's going to be a damned fine book, but also, that's what friends do.
I wish you guys nothing but the greatest of successes! Amazon & BN aren't going to know what hit them. ;)

Congratulations on the book, and I'll be ordering mine this evening.

I certainly can't afford it right now, but I'll tweet it and blog it... AND I'll totally call every book store that isn't long distance and ask if they have it in stock.
AND, I'll head into Chapters and Indigo (Other Canadians - listen up) and tell them I would have bought it if it was in-store. Here's how: 1. Go to the store and find the little lookup terminal thing 2. Look up Trust Agents 3. If it's NOT ins stock, there's a little button that asks if you would have considered purchasing if it WAS in stock - click it. This data is used to help skew orders.
You can find out which stores don't have it from the Chapters/Indigo website. :)
Congrats again on the book, Chris & Julien - it's on my Christmas list with fingers crossed. :)

Watching with interest as we see what the redemption rate on social currency is - how trust and reputation converts to sales, in real time. Your numbers will be a profoundly useful guide to determining just how much of a commitment people are willing to make in exchange for the value you've already given.

I will be buying the book regardless, but one word of advice... When asking us to spend money to buy your book, at least give us a few lines about WHY we should buy it (not because it's a favor, but because we'll learn X, understand Y, etc).
Good luck and I can't wait to read it!
Chris Brogan
· 4 months ago
Hi Brian--
I can write really good copy like anyone. I wrote a personal request because that's exactly the point. The point is that I'm asking for a favor and not for a sale. It ENDS in a sale, but the favor is that you buy it.
I just ordered from my local bookseller. They don't have it yet, but will be getting it as soon as available. Don't know if it will count towards your 768 - hope so - but I gotta support my local peeps.
Best of luck to you. I know the excitement and anticipation you're feeling.
Cheers! Phil

I will be in touch, if possible, to speak more with you about this. In the meantime, I look forward to a good read. If the book is like your website, I'm sure I'll be satisfied with my purchase

Unsure how I got to this page (followed a tweet, maybe?), but the book seems interesting. My issue is that after clicking and reading through three different dedicated links, I still don't see a decent summary or sales pitch. Just sales pushes. I suspect you would benefit from adding a description to any of your sales materials.
As someone who knows nothing of you or your work, that you hadn't considered this as necessary honestly leaves me a bit skeptical of your ability to advise on social media, and less likely to buy the book (though I probably will anyway.)

Just getting mine now. Good to see so many 5 star reviews on Amazon. Way to go guys!
I am a new author and I would like to get your review of my new fantasy book. It has just been released on Amazon and Barnes & Nobles.
Synopsis: On their way home from baseball tryouts, Brad Colby and his two sons are involved in a terrible car accident that leaves six-year-old Pete in a coma. When Pete awakens, the family is crushed to learn that he is paralyzed.
Meanwhile, Pete’s eight-year-old brother, Jason, has been having powerful dreams that lead him to a mysterious realm known as DreamWorld. Jason discovers that all of his desires can come true in DreamWorld, but the time is fast approaching when he will have to choose between his two worlds.
And when more devastating news strikes at the heart of the Colby family, Jason and Pete set out on a desperate attempt to find the Gateway to DreamWorld and save their family. With time running out on their dangerous path, will Jason and Pete’s fear of the Unknown keep them from reaching the paradise of their dreams? Brenda Estacio

3. If it's NOT ins stock, there's a little button that asks if you would have considered purchasing if it WAS in stock - click it. This data is used to help skew orders.
You can find out which stores don't have it from the Chapters/Indigo website. :)
Congrats again on the book, Chris & Julien - it's on my Christmas list with fingers crossed. :)
Hope that it helps.
I'm wondering, Chris, about the 768 figure--how did you arrive at that as the magic number?
Greetings from Amazon.com.
We thought you'd like to know that we shipped your items, and that this completes your order. Your order is being shipped and cannot be changed by you or by our customer service department.
My copy is enroute ;) Good Luck!
Wishing you guys all the best! Trust matters!
I'm in and so happy that I can actually do something to help you, as I benefit from your wisdom daily. I will do the following:
- tweet about the book
- comment about it on all of my other social profiles: fb, linkedin, my meetup groups and I will blog about it.
- And every time I'm near a book store this week I will go in that book store and ask about the book.
I appreciate all that you are doing and am more than happy to help out in these small ways!
Thanks again, enjoy your day!
Robyn
Can explain why now and why 768 copies?
You're ahead of me in publishing and I'm interested in the behind the scenes.
Thanks!

If you don't make your target, I'm giving up on social media and applying to McDonalds because any faith I have in social media and community will be completely and utterly destroyed. Will actively tweet your links as well this week and do my best to help.
Been a big fan for quite a while. Congratulations on your book, and as soon as it's Kindle-ized, I'll buy it twice.
Why do you have to sell 768? is that the number you set up for a social experiment or will they flog you if you don't sell that??
You know we're definitely interested in being part of this story, but we're keeping it under wraps until the official launch date next Monday, August 24th.
Looking forward to being part of the first week's sales success.

Good luck and I can't wait to read it!
I can write really good copy like anyone. I wrote a personal request because that's exactly the point. The point is that I'm asking for a favor and not for a sale. It ENDS in a sale, but the favor is that you buy it.
If you go to http://www.trustagent.com , you'll see reasons why you think it's useful.
I have no idea the discount, but if you check on 800ceoread.com - http://bit.ly/ta-800ceo , you'll see before you have to buy.
Nashville rocks!
about getting the order placed.
I just ordered from my local bookseller. They don't have it yet, but will be getting it as soon as available. Don't know if it will count towards your 768 - hope so - but I gotta support my local peeps.
Best of luck to you. I know the excitement and anticipation you're feeling.
Cheers!

I've enjoyed your website for a long time, and when I saw this post I went over to Amazon and made the purchase. I'm building a class right now for law students about things they don't learn in law school, and one segment deals with establishing and building trust. I will be in touch, if possible, to speak more with you about this. In the meantime, I look forward to a good read. If the book is like your website, I'm sure I'll be satisfied with my purchase
Congrats on your effort. I look forward to reading your book. I cannot pre-order the Kindle edition, it appears, but I will be downloading it on the 24th.
Thanks for your insight and enthusiasm. I can't wait for the sequel! :)

Poor grammar.
Here's one:
"Your comment is really useful."
Is that good grammar?
Items shipped on August 14, 2009:
Delivery estimate: September 19, 2009
But it's the price to pay to read you ...
I appreciate what you do, thanks a lot !
;-)
Seems that time has been shortened !
Time to read it now.
Thanks Chris.
:-)
For those one a budget don't forget to request it at your public library; for free use for years to come!
Are you doing a book tour for Trust Agents? I'd love to have my copy signed (and I think others might as well)!

Since I first came across your blog and since we first met, you've been nothing but helpful. Taking time out of your day to deliver new content to the masses, respond to an email or two for me here and there, answer a question or offer words of advice, respond to a tweet or private DM... You give and you give...
I want you to know that I appreciate you for each and every one of those moments and that I appreciate your contribution here. Congratulations to both you and Julien and just so you know, you definitely have a supporter here! I'll be purchasing a few copies and am very much looking forward to reading it!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Congrats Chris and Julien! Best of luck :)

Question - Could you recommend one other book on new media/social media? I'm looking for something you consider a must read. I just finished Groundswell and I need to add 1 more book to my cart. Thanks in advance and please keep up the great work.
I bought you book today. I posted it on my LinkedIn page, it's in my Amazon bookstore and I'll review it and blog about it once I read it. I'll share the love by telling my corporate customers all about it.
Congrats to you and Julien for getting your message to the world!
Good luck on the 768.

I am happy and eager to help, but having a little technical problem: I have tried several times to add the Trust Agents graphic/badge to my website (running on Thesis btw) but all that appears is the word 'trust in plain blue type.
No graphic.
I tried both of the codes you listed with the same result. Is anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?

How are you doing?
I've tried to place codes on my website (tried both) and they don't present correctly.
I would love to assist, please check and reissue new codes so I may be able to utilise.
If i was to take you up on your offer and buy 200 copies of your book, would you really fly out to Australia?
Take care, looking forward to your success
Cheers

Would love to assist, by placing badge on my site, however have tried both codes and they don't seem to be correct. Please check and let me know.
Also wanted to know if I purchase 200 copies of 'Trust Agents' would you truly fly out to the land of Oz for a half a day?
Take care, wishing lots of luck and continued success,
Cheers

Who has read it? Who got advanced copies and has reviewed it honestly, anyone?
thanks,

Good comment, I am an instructor living in Vancouver and have done a fair amount of research on the subject. I have been following Chris's blog posts and if they were to be amalgamated would make excellent texts in themselves. So be assured that this is an outstanding investment.

As someone who knows nothing of you or your work, that you hadn't considered this as necessary honestly leaves me a bit skeptical of your ability to advise on social media, and less likely to buy the book (though I probably will anyway.)
I contacted you on Twitter and you said you would hold the 2/4/10 date for me as long as I send you a receipt with this weeks date on it. Are you okay with being a keynote speaker for our KC/IABC Business Communicators Summit (expecting 250+) instead of consulting our organization as you stated in your special offer? If so, I'll purchase the books today and see you in February! Please let me know. Thanks!

Congratulations

Congratulations to you and Julien. First of all you are a pioneer, I have learned so much from you! If your posts are any indication, Trust agents will no doubt be a masterpiece!
My office is located close to a Chapters here in Vancouver (Canada), I will pick up a copy, make sure they have and keep it in stock.
All the best and keep up the great work!

I'd love to hear everyone's suggestions to create the max Twitter buzz for the "TA Giveaway"
-How would you tweet it?
-What should the criteria to win one be?
I just wanted to congratulate you on the new book and say I'm planning on picking up a copy sometime in the near future from Amazon.
Best of luck!

I loved the "Trust Agents" talk at SOBCon and I am sure all of us will totally enjoy the book.
Here's to all the success!
Best,
Raj
I have tweeted about 'Trust Agents' and will do so again. I can't buy the book right now but It's on my wishlist... soon maybe :)
Best of luck with the book. Is there an excerpt I can read?
Love your posts, its easy to relate to them and learn :) Thanks
Cheers
