About this listen
Why do certain products and ideas go viral? Dynamic young Wharton professor Jonah Berger draws on his research to explain the six steps that make products or ideas contagious.
Why do some products get more word of mouth than others? Why does some online content go viral? Word of mouth makes products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. It's more influential than advertising and far more effective.
Can you create word of mouth for your product or idea? According to Berger, you can. Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.
Contagious is filled with fascinating information drawn from Berger's research. You will be surprised to learn, for example, just how little word of mouth is generated online versus elsewhere. Already praised by Dan Ariely and Dan Gilbert, and sold in nine countries, this book is a must-listen for people who want their projects and ideas to succeed.

Blown away!
i'm so glad I picked up this book. I have taken notes! Definitely a book that you have to listen twice, as it has amazing points that aren't shared out there! thank you to the author and narrator!

The stories are so good
The stories and examples in this book are fantastic. I really loved how they highlighted the learning so perfectly for how to make your business or product more contagious. It is partly luck to have something go 'viral' but having an eye to what is catchy can definitely boost your visibility and sales.
I think my favourite story is the hidden bar Please Don't Tell. Brilliant marketing idea. #Audible1
