Brilliant post. Thanks for covering everything in so much detail.

I’m at a point in my life where I have a hand (or maybe just a finger) in several different pies in different categories and I could really do with focusing more on which category I want to be in.

This has given me lots to think about.

In what order do you recommend reading your four books?

Category Pirates πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ's avatar

Hey Forrest, it depends on what you're looking to learn.

β€’ The 22 Laws will help you get a solid footing on the fundamentals of category designβ€”it's a must-read and a great reference guide.

β€’ Snow Leopard is perfect if you're looking to create a category of one as a writer or creator.

β€’ The Marketer's Guide is specifically for using category design in marketing.

β€’ The Category Design Toolkit is great for getting the hang of category design in a business context.

Let us know if that helps, or if you have other questions.

Hey guys, I'm just finishing my book on the new category I am creating, along with all the SEO content, and my questions to you, is when should I let the cat out of the bag about my new category? My plan is to publish my book and content and do many things for a lightning strike all in a short window of time. Should I have keep everything a secret until I'm ready for the lightning strike?

Thanks, this new concept is blowing my mind, but at the same time giving me many ideas to implement in my company.

Mind blowing is the first step to different thinking.
