Zarella’s Hierarchy of Contagiousness: The science, design, and engineering of contagious ideas. Dan Zarella. 2011. ISBN 9781936719273. This is a short but useful compendium of “stuff that works’ for driving online engagement using social media. It was a free Kindle book, sponsored by Hubspot and Mailchimp. For inbound marketers this is a useful book. His examples and studies are real, valid and immediately applicable. Easy to read and reasonably organized. I enjoyed some of his insights as they are not as readily available elsewhere such the decline in Twitter follower count through the use of negative comments, as well as self references, for example. His timing studies as to when to release information are very current and seem counter intuitive, but I have noticed the same thing recently. Grab it.
