Soundview Live Archived Webinars:
 | In this Soundview Live webinar, Chris Anderson, author of Free, makes the case that the most effective price can be no price at all. He illustrates how savvy businesses are raking it in with indirect routes from product to revenue with such models as cross-subsidies (giving away a DVR to sell cable service) and freemiums (offering Flickr for free while selling the superior FlickrPro to serious users). Although a concept not without opponents including Malcolm Gladwell, this concept is working well for a lot of companies. The MP3 recording of this event will be available to listen to or download from your Online Library immediately after check-out. Webinar: The Future of the Free Offer |

 | In this special edition of Soundview Live, Brogan and Smith, the co-authors of Trust Agents, show you how to tap into the power of social networks to build your brand's influence, reputation, and, of course, profits. Today's online influencers are web natives who trade in trust, reputation, and relationships, using social media to accrue the influence that builds up or brings down businesses online. Trust agents aren't necessarily marketers or salespeople; they're the digitally savvy people who use the Web to humanize businesses using transparency, honesty, and genuine relationships. As a result, they wield enough online influence to build up or bring down a business's reputation. When you've learned a trust agent's secrets, your words can carry more power and more weight than any PR firm or big corporate marketing department.
