How does Guerilla Guides differ from all the other places on the Web where I can search for information?
We value your time!Rather than treating our customers as “Dummies” or “Complete Idiots” our killer content appeals to the subversive in us all that seeks a rapid shortcut to success and self-empowerment. As James Bryce said, “The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it." We believe that by providing consumers with killer content in a concise, entertaining format, our knowledge brands such as the Guerilla Guides will grow to be the content phenomenon of the decade.
What is killer content?
The Guerilla Guides cuts through a lot of barbed wire, and outfits the most tender feet for the toughest journeys. What we've learned is that some of the most crucial information isn't in the obvious places. It's scattered around in the brains of seasoned experts, mentioned here and there on obscure websites, and passed among hacks. As a result, many people waste too much time on the wrong stuff, simply because it's readily available: accumulating irrelevant information, mastering someone else's style or techniques, or getting to know people who can't ultimately help them get where they need to go. Putting our heads together on your behalf, the Guerilla Guides represent a range of expert advisors on tap in every field to serve up killer content to skew the odds back in your favor. Killer content is:
- Practise not theory: You don’t want to waste your time with theory, you just want tried and tested stuff that works. You want it to be written by someone who’s been there done that and survived to tell the cautionary/inspirational tale. No punches pulled, no sacred cows respected.
- Gets you quickl up to speed: You’re about to embark upon a new venture about which you know diddly squat you can go into a bookstore or look it up on the Internet but how do you know what’s the best book or whether that web page isn’t written by some crackhead?
- Assumes you’re not a complete idiot or a dummy, but you’re curious about a subject, but everything written about is quite frankly intimidating, you want a simple but not dumbed down intro to a subject.
- Assumes you’re essentially lazy and you want let some other schmuck do your research for your: You want insight without exertion
- You want to read a book that goes further than a regurgitation of common sense. Every sentence I read I want to think fuck that’s useful.
