About this ebook

In Crush It!, online marketing trailblazer Gary Vaynerchuk tells business owners what they need to do to boost their sales using the internet—just as he has done to build his family’s wine store from a $4 million business to a $60 million one. Crush It! will show readers how to find their passion, then step by step how to turn it into a flourishing, monetized business.

This no-nonsense guide lays out the step-by-step playbook for building your empire:

Monetize Your Passion: Discover how to turn what you love—whether it's wine, worms, or Warcraft—into a profitable online business that you can't wait to work on every day.
Social Networking Strategy: Learn to leverage platforms like Twitter and Facebook not just to talk, but to build an engaged community and authentic word-of-mouth that drives real growth.
The Power of Hustle: Understand the real work it takes to succeed. Gary shares his philosophy on working harder and smarter than the competition, especially between 7 PM and 2 AM.
Build Your Legacy: Move beyond just making money. Follow three simple rules—love your family, work superhard, and live your passion—to build a business and a life you can be proud of.

The big idea of this book is that if you use social media to connect with the masses, the money will follow (eventually.) Vaynerchuk lays out a philosophy of using social media tools such as Twitter, blogs, and YouTube to put out the message of your personal brand. It needs to be something you're passionate about and willing to invest time in. If your content is good and you're able to make connections, you'll be able to generate income through your use of social media.

Great book! This is the first audio book I have purchased - which helped the drive from Minneapolis to Omaha go quickly. I recommend the audio book because of the author's passion reading it and providing additional insights.

Listened to the Audio Book. Gary is a dynamic speaker and goes "off script throughout" explaining and expanding ideas from the book. He presents awesome and relevant ideas to creating your own brand image.
