The book was loaned to me by the author's wife's grandmother who was visiting the retirement community in which I live. She loaned the book to me, and I read it cover to cover. I felt there was so much valid information in the book that I wanted to own my own copy so I purchased it on eBay. Although I am 71 years old, in 2010 I started an on-line business selling handmade clothing and accessories for infants and toddlers. I did not know how to drive traffic to the site, but after reading this book I am brim full of ideas. I have received my own copy of the book and now am going to re-read it and make a to-do list so I can get busy implementing the great ideas the author provides. Although the writing style is less sophisticated than I usually prefer, the style seems to suit this very successful young man. The book engenders excitement and enthusiasm and hope for success. I enjoyed it and I recommend it.Read full review
This book is a no holds bared look at how to make what you love doing and help you turn it into something that can make you a living. There isn't anything negative about this book. It is raw and honest to what you need to really look at when making your passion profitable. From forgetting the "broke" mindset and looking for ways to "hustle" and cash in on what you love. If you are looking for a book that is a fairly quick read, about a 3 day if you only have limited time, or you could read it fully in about a day, this one is meat and potatoes, very little sugar coating. You can see more about this author on various social media platforms, that is what he is good at and lessons can be learned. Make it a great day and grab it up. Linda and Holley

This book is not only a small read, under 150 pages i think, so you can get through it without much effort; its also vital. Your name, and image and personality are out there for the world to see with all these social networks. You can either ignore that you are already branded or embrace social networking and control your brand. I own a publishing company and a record label. Honestly I just started and I am not making any money. with that said I must admit that I only work 40 hours a month. not a week, a month, for others. I do, work 12 hours a day for my companies. THe author, stresses and doesnt sugar coat how much time you will put into your brand. This book isnt some get rich book or self help book. Its about branding and marketing. No unfamiliar jargon. I would imagine someone new to all this may have a difficult time grasping it all. I benefit from the techniques inside the book because my cup is always empty and I read and implement so much that I can quickly change my methods to better my practices. Gary explains blogs, websites and social media in plain english and even tells you what he thinks works best yet never telling you a step by step. His techniques are dna based, what fits you. Sorry this review is more like a'did it work for me?' than a review. I figured this would be more honest and helpful.Read full review
After being fired from the insurance company I'd worked at for 23 years, I decided two months ago to start my own independent life insurance company. We live in a small town in NW Alabama of roughly 1400 people. Marketing is the challenge to ANY start-up company. MY name is known and trusted locally, but my company name is new. Using Gary's social media strategies, I'm creating a 'branding' of my company name. After using FaceBook as a starting point 35 days ago, I'm proud to say I've made two sales I would not have made w/o this book. A must-read for anyone in marketing - as Gary says, the world is changing! MHM
Crush It! is a terrific book by a man who came to the United States in 1978 speaking no English. He has worked and strived and attained some huge goals and achievements and shows you in this book how you can do the same. This book is VERY inspiring, meaty, challenging, and full of HOPE! Gary Vaynerchuk shares simple lessons and simple rules to success in life, but he shoots ideas and inspiration and logic and honesty with the intensity of a teenager playing paintball. His energetic tone feels like a mentor, teammate, cheerleader, boss, parent, best friend, life coach, and guru. Vaynerchuk talks a lot about internet presence and social marketing, as you grow a business and career. If you’ve forgotten or left your dreams and passions behind, those thoughts will come flying back to you as you read. He shows you how you can live and work at your PASSION and not just a job. He warns how to be flexible and change with the times, not just be rigid in your expectations. He shows you how he does it and how you can see the big picture and the end goal and how to get there, even with setbacks, detours, or roadblocks. This is a book to read and refer to more than once—you will have aha! moments. You can read this in one sitting, but you’ll likely go back to reread it and keep jotting down your ideas. The book is full of HOPE, direction, inspiration, instruction, and even a kick in the rear. Crush It! is a great gift for yourself and others. A++++Read full review
