    Who had the look first…. Steve Jobs or Seth Godin?

    On a serious note… What percentage of a product’s success is attributed to branding?

    Doesn’t the wide Mr Godin look like a cross between Ed Koch and Frank Purdue the chickenman in their younger days?

    What are the three most influential books (in the sense of influencing his life/work style) he read?

    How often does he read other books/blogs, how does he keep track of ideas he gets while reading them and when is he working on this ideas (if theres a certain procedure)?

    Coffee or tea? :-)

    Multi-part Twitter question:

    Do you plan on starting to use Twitter anytime soon? When/if you start using it, how would you go about it (from a marketer’s standpoint)? You said on your site a while back that you won’t start using it until you can “do it well” (or something like that). How do you envision doing it well? Are you referring to pure frequency (time management issue) or unique and new content?

  20. Rick Vaughn

    Please of him explain the difference between a benefit and a feature? I heard some marketing guru talk about this and it was totally confusing please ask Seth to simply.

  21. David King
    March 29, 2009 at 2:16 pm

    That’s awesome! He is one smart guy… Good Luck with it!

    One question I would have for him…

    What are some Key things that you need to master in order to have a highly successful website like squidoo?

  23. shamcore
    March 29, 2009 at 4:33 pm

    Ask him what he’d do if he had to start from scratch again, with the knowledge he has now.

    And what he thinks the most promising development on the internet is at this moment.

    And kudos to you for getting an interview with him Jeremy!

    “widely regarded as the worlds best marketer.”

    oh come on.

    How about this for a question:

    “Why would anyone actually want a purple cow? What are the added benefits to the consumer? What is the sustainable competitive advantage to having a cow that is purple?”

        I do not know why people want to earn quick money when they are mature enough to understand that short cut is always land you in trouble.

    I’m a huge Seth Godin fan – I listen to a lot of his books on my evening jogs. Tell him thanks for the interesting books because I sometimes run an extra mile just to hear the rest of a topic!

    Anyway-here’s the question:

    You talk a great deal about the success of other companies and people but very little about your own success. What is one thing that you believe has contributed greatly to your own success?

  44. ZK@WebTrafficROI.com
    April 3, 2009 at 5:45 am

    Ask Seth … who is best marketing expert according to him and why …

  45. Ari Lestariono
    April 3, 2009 at 9:51 am

    Ask Seth, what does he think about Gary Vaynerchuk

  46. Karlstadunix
    April 4, 2009 at 5:17 am

    does he have twitter ?

    • ZK@WebTrafficROI.com
      April 5, 2009 at 2:43 am

      Yes he is

      http://twitter.com/sethgodin

      But I think he is not active at there and twitter is showing this message for him –

      “Seth is not active on Twitter. This is a placeholder.”

      ‘This person has protected their updates.’

    Seth Godin is a marketer. He is a permission-based marketing guru. He has one of the most popular, if not the most popular, blogs on the topic of marketing. It is one of the best ranked blogs in the entire blogosphere.
