My Second Collaborative Book — The Age of Conversation 2.0: Why Don’t People Get It?

My first collaborative book ‘The Age of Conversation’ reached #262 in books and #36 in business and investing books on Amazon and raised nearly $15,000 for Variety, the international children’s charity.
I’m hoping that my second collaborative book ‘The Age of Conversation 2.0: Why Don’t People Get It?’ will do even better, and so are my 236 co-authors.
Editors Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton have once again done a great job of shepherding the 237 authors and David Armano has once again designed a great cover.
As before, all the authors have waved off the royalties and all the proceeds, after cost, go to charity –
- e-book: US$12.50 ($10.00 going to charity)
- paperback book: US$19.95 ($8.02 to charity)
- hardback book: US$29.95 ($4.60 to charity)
Do join in the Age of Conversation party by joining the Facebook group, subscribing to the podcast, reading the social media press release, following @AOC2 on Twitter, and, of course, buying the book at Lulu.
My own chapter in AOC2 is on social media outsourcing. I have earlier written that social media outsourcing is the next big business opportunity for India and may already be leading the third wave of Indian outsourcing. I was interviewed by E-Commerce Times recently for a story on social media outsourcing.

Gaurav, thank you for getting the word out about AOC2! I love how you have added reference to the other elements of the project [release, podcasts, etc.]. I look forward to reading your chapter.

Hey Gaurav,
Thanks for spreading the word (and… the world also, actually!). BTW, I really liked your “BuzzPundit” scenario. Very creative and visionary also! : )

@Luc: I’m glad you found BuzzPundit/ social media outsourcing interesting. It’s an idea I have been trying to seed for almost a year now.
