We're set to interview Seth Godin (Linchpin, Tribes, Permission Marketing, Purple Cow and other bestselling business books) 2/24.

If you've read any of Seth's books, especially his latest, Linchpin, what would you like me to ask him for you?

(We're the Startup Success Podcast (http://startuppodcast.wordpress.com/))

Here are some:

  • What the most common misconception you see about branding?

  • For an entrepreneur just starting a company, is having a strong personal brand as important as developing a strong brand for your young company? Should the entrepreneur aim to develop both at the same time?

+1 for personal brand vs company brand. Seems like doing both would be ideal, but more time consuming. So which is more important? – Adam Feb 16 '10 at 4:25

A couple come to mind:

  • What process do you use to come up with your book topics?
  • Is it true that 70% of the people that download your free eBooks actually buy the book?
  • What has been the single best way you have promoted your books?
  • Tribes is one of my favorite books. What was the ah ha moment that showed you were on to something big?
