Product Information

This is something which every one of us might have faced in our life. There are multiple ways to deal with this situation. The author is trying to tell us one of the best methods to deal with it. Study social media trends and act on them before they get mainstream. The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll need to catch up. This for instance applies to which social media platforms you use.

Socialites, celebrity progeny and reality-TV stars have been doing it for years. Now it’s everyone else’s turn to learn how to get paid to do something they were going to do for free anyway.” Speed” – Practice haste and efficiency daily to get more done. Don’t agonize over every decision. Move fast, trust your instincts and learn from your mistakes. Make adjustments, and move on. But the best advice of the new book is this: start somewhere, just start to build your personal brand. A brand is a public image that conveys your interests and values to the world. It is essential if you want to make money from your passion. Fortunately, building one is now relatively easy. So you get funny and fun stories, with their interesting "how it all started", and really inspirational ideas, that most of us might not consider, but are really successful today.

As you’ll see in these blinks, building a personal brand and cultivating it through social media is a route to success accessible to all. And that’s equally true if you’re a frustrated accountant, a food enthusiast ready to share your love of homemade preserves with the world or a fashionista seeking to monetize your sense of style. The tactics are different; the strategies remain the same. Intent, Authenticity, Passion, Patience, Speed, Effort, Attention, Content. this is the first marketing / personal branding book I've read. it was easy to read and I found myself reaching for it over my current romance novel whenever I had spare time to read. I don't completely see how I can apply all of these insights to where I am now, but it's given me the motivation to sit down and figure out how my social media reflects who I want to be professionally.

Social media platforms offer unparalleled opportunities to build your “personal brand” and a thriving business doing what you love. Hmmm, although I don't think reading this book was a complete waste of time, it didn't contain much new insights. I think the book is way too long for the points being made and is largely storytelling. After a while, I skimmed or even skipped much of the stories of all the people successfully (surprise surprise) applying the Crush It!-principles, as outlined in Gary's earlier book. I didn't read Gary's earlier books, but I heard that those were at least much better than this book. Besides working full-time, think about starting your own personal brand. If you do this, the digital economy will be more accessible to you. And here is an example of the new world: So many people don’t think of themselves as cameraworthy, but vlogging and documenting doesn’t demand that you be glamorous or beautiful or really superficially special at all. Have you looked at what’s out there? Aside from the beauty bloggers, the bodybuilders, and the rising pop idols—in other words, aside from everyone in an industry where your looks really matter—everyone on YouTube looks pretty damned ordinary. There are vloggers with disfiguring tumors, vloggers with disabilities, vloggers of all ages and shapes. Vlogging is a terrific way to document instead of create, which means that literally anyone can do it. You don’t need to be accomplished (at least not in the way 99 percent of you reading this define accomplishment) to break out on this platform because, remember, when you’re documenting and not creating, you’re allowed to learn as you go. You don’t have to be an expert (yet). You don’t have to be successful (yet). The only thing you really do have to do is make the road to getting there interesting. Successful businesspeople amass an enormous fortune. Altruistic entrepreneurship is a hallmark of great entrepreneurs. This technique rarely works in the long run, as others can see when we use them to our advantage. Authenticity

Gary" explains how you can make the most on the biggest social media platforms, but don't offers too much details or profound ideas of how you can use them strategically in your interest. This is a sentence that we will hear almost every day. The author is telling us why we should follow our passion A 19-year-old presenting as a guru will come off as phony, regardless of their intentions. Transparency is the best policy when it comes to building your personal brand. Don’t bother teaching folks how to play the piano. You may just learn along with them. Passion This one statement seems to me to sum up the essence of the author’s business philosophy: “In a world where the standard is pretty much nothing, you have to be just altruistic enough.“

Gary Vaynerchuk tells us how to build a personal brand and become successful in social media based on his and a dozen other people’s personal experiences. The way the author construes the reason for social media success is unique and will help anyone who wants to become a real coup in social media. He deciphers the covert actions taken by the social media influencers to become successful in a vivid manner, unlike some of the other books written by dilettante’s, which are excruciatingly didactic and gives us a cursory reading experience by obliquely disparaging their opponents. Gary is a speaker, a New York Times best selling author and business owner helping him to amass a huge net worth of 150 million dollars. You don’t get to call yourself an expert until you’ve put in the work—and the market decides, not you.” Judul : Crushing It!: Bagaimana Wirausaha Besar Membangun Bisnis dan Pengaruh Mereka---dan Bagaimana Anda Juga Bisa MelakukannyaPassion” – People who do work they love lead happier lives than those who earn a lot at work they dislike. But, passion alone won’t build a business. It may take years before you earn anything substantial. Your passion manifests in the quality of your offerings and in how you differentiate them. Gary became a brand on YouTube when he started discussing wine in everyday language. After over a thousand episodes, he was known as “the lovely, obnoxious man who talks about wine.” I didn't realize that this was a follow-up book, & am very much looking forward to getting my hands on the first one. This is the first business book I've read that "gets it", at least in relation to exactly what I specifically want to do, what I want to create & where that foundation will hopefully lead me. It excelled my thought-process of the matter & lit a different kind of fire under my ass, so to say. Like, I am so glad I came across this book. I don't really talk about what I want to do, at least not too in-depth, because I'm somewhat embarrassed about it; I don't know how to explain it, because I know people aren't going to get it. And this book validates my vision & what I've been working on, & I have a renewed sense of inspiration because of that.
