My background in is marketing, specifically pharmaceuticals, and I found this book, “From Reads to Leads,” particularly informative. Something that I wish was available many years ago when drawing up marketing plans. In many ways this book is more like a workbook, as Abrosymova introduces lots of examples and opportunities to practice the methods she introduces. The lessons have a “before and after” or “not that, but this” illustration so the examples are fully understood.


As Abrosymova states, “People don’t want content made for search engines. They want content that answers their questions, solves their problems, or tells them something they didn’t know.” This guideline is what directs this book. There are not only dozens of good examples to illustrate her point, but she also introduces external sources to support people tasked with writing good content for the Internet. The subtleties of crafting good sentences, written in succinct English, and avoiding verbose descriptions, are foremost in Abrosymova’s mind as she teaches the tricks of the trade.


I am happy to recommend this book, “From Reads to Leads,” not only because it is informative and instructive, but it will also lead to better content on the Internet. As the number of articles, lectures and blogs grow exponentially, we can hope that this book helps to raise the quality of what we read. Secondly, it will make content a superior marketing tool, helping to better communicate corporate objectives to potential clients.
