"There is so much hype and blather about social media and Internet marketing. Usually it's the same old cliches trotted out with little real application. The best thing about Perera's work is that it puts it all in a real business perspective. Great effort."
— Alan Hargreaves

— Ross Clennett
"This book cuts through the hype. It doesn’t speak geek - it talks to people about their business strategy online in ways that make sense and go to the heart of making the web work for you. In my twenty-five years of being in business, I'd be hard pressed to name a person that I’ve learned more from than Gihan Perera."
— Ann Rolfe
"Fast, Flat and Free has become my new reference guide for smart marketing of my business online - and also offline. This book is worth many multiples its cost, so I strongly recommend it to business owners. I especially recommend it to the self-employed who may not yet be big enough to outsource to specialists. (And I recommend it to 'control-freaks' like me who like to be informed consumers of other consultants.)"
— Matt Hern
"Brilliant book. Great simplification of the extraordinary complexity we face online today. Gave me 6 'must do's to implement. And I write books on a similar topic. Well worth a read, particularly if you are an author or a Thought Leader."
— Toby Marshall
"This is probably the best book on the integration of marketing and the internet that I have read. If you want to know more about social media, the internet and small business marketing, this is the book for you."
— Michael Harrison
"If you are online now or wanting to put your business online, then this book is essential. It cuts through to the issues that really matter to capture your customers and clients. A great book that has saved me so much time."

"Hey Gihan, I've nearly finished reading your book and it's amazing. It has revolutionised my thinking, not only of my Internet business idea, but also of my 'real world' business."
— Melvin Yeo
"I must tell you, I'm not very happy with this book. I was hoping I could do a quick scan flip-through and then put it on the shelf with all the others. Now I realise I must . . . must . . . sit down and read entire this book with a pen in hand. And I will end up with a long to-do list that will be critical to the future of my business! This is simply brilliant stuff, and well written and well organised."
— Warren Evans
"Fast, Flat and Free is an excellent resource and essential reading for anybody serious about doing business online. I particularly liked the chapter on creating your positioning statement and market niche. Keep up the good work!"
