Good Course to Review the Basics

What did you love best about Platform?

It moved along great and Micheal is a great reader. Clear and articulate made it easy to listen to.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I had to break it up in order to stay engaged. While the reading of it was great and it moved along great, the information was tedious and became just a lot of information. I would have to stop and give myself a break to be engaged again.

Any additional comments?

The information was good, but not real informative. It was however a great refresher and motivator to get back to doing things that you've let slip.

Overall Good Suggestions, Little Outdated

All good suggestions - some of the tech info (e.g. regarding Twitter) seem outdated but besides that this book contains excellent marketing suggestions. I can honestly say I learned a lot.
