TheBestIdeasareFree.com<\/a> is now live – so as a bit of an update I wanted to fill my readers in on how it got to this point, where it’s going, and if you want to help how you can.<\/a><\/p>\n Background Tipping the traditional book model upside down 1) Firstly I wrote my book based off the blog, this allowed me to find the ideas that resonated<\/strong> with you guys the most but also forced me to take my conversational style into book form<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 2) The book contains 63 easily digestible ideas to chew on, you can open it up on any page and give it a read<\/strong>. \u00a0You can pick up an idea within 30 seconds and run with it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 3) I don’t pander to the reader. \u00a0Instead of compromising and explaining every little detail I respect your intelligence if you don’t understand something you can look it up. (Not that it is overly technical, non tech\/web savvy people enjoy it just as much).<\/p>\n 4) Business Books typically contain a few ideas, or at the other extreme 100, instead I have 63 – why? It’s my lucky number. \u00a0(You will also note there were 63 limited signed pre-orders).<\/p>\n 5) Even further, I have made the book free<\/strong>, you can read the book online for free right now<\/a>. (Absolutely no region restrictions, anyone, anywhere can read it).<\/p>\n Clearly of course, my hope is that you enjoy it and will want to pick up a copy. \u00a0If you can’t do that, spreading the word<\/a> is a great way to help.<\/p>\n 6) There are also a series of videos (authors typically hide from the camera), detailing more information about the book, the themes, the journey and more…<\/p>\n So head along check it out TheBestIdeasareFree.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Already read it?<\/strong> Or simply email me with your feedback.<\/p>\n Thanks guys, I really cannot ever express my gratitude for the support shown by many of you. – Ben<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TheBestIdeasareFree.com is now live – so as a bit of an update I wanted to fill my readers in on how it got to this point, where it’s going, and if you want to help how you can.

\n<\/strong>Last year, mid november, I started putting together the 63 best ideas from the blog. \u00a0Through the next 7 months or so I went through 11 or so revisions, finally wrapping up in June. \u00a0Now it’s finally ready.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>It hasn’t been the usual process – I have tipped a few things.<\/p>\n
