PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Yet another rallying cry to the banner of turning your passion into a career, from braggadocio-ridden entrepreneur Vaynerchuk. After taking over his father's local liquor store, Shopper's Discount Liquors, and building it from a $4 million business to a $50 million one, he created the wine-tasting blog Wine Library TV and discovered the power of the Internet for driving sales. This book shares his experience and step-by-step advice for using Twitter, Facebook, etc., and suggestions for monetizing an online persona, reiterating that the Internet makes it possible for anyone to make serious cash by turning what they love most into their personal brand. His enthusiasm is admirable and his advice solid, but there's nothing new here, and his unappealing swagger repeated stories of how he "crushed it" and "dominated" grate particularly gives his story more the tone of adolescent peacocking than of worthwhile and sober business advice.
Customer Reviews
I love Gary but…
$20 was a little too much for this book. There’s gems in it of course but some of the info seemed a little outdated.
Interesting
A very easy read. I think I finished half the book in one day & I'm a slow reader. The book has some great info pertaining on how to create a presence on the Internet but its slightly dated. But due to the ever evolving world of social media, I highly doubt any book written in the future will be able to remain current with the times. Overall, I enjoyed the book, got some great pointers out of it which I plan to apply, & I would recommend it to anybody.
MUST HAVE BOOK FOR YOUR ENTREPRENIAL JOUNERY
I have read several books but this is the one that has got me to start moving in the direction that I truly need. Thank you GaryVee!
