Publisher's Summary

Four-time New York Times best-selling author Gary Vaynerchuk offers new lessons and inspiration drawn from the experiences of dozens of influencers and entrepreneurs who rejected the predictable corporate path in favor of pursuing their dreams by building thriving businesses and extraordinary personal brands.

In his 2009 international best seller Crush It, Gary insisted that a vibrant personal brand was crucial to entrepreneurial success. In Crushing It! Gary explains why that's even more true today, offering his unique perspective on what has changed and what principles remain timeless. He also shares stories from other entrepreneurs who have grown wealthier - and not just financially - than they ever imagined possible by following Crush It principles. The secret to their success (and Gary's) has everything to do with their understanding of the social media platforms and their willingness to do whatever it took to make these tools work to their utmost potential. That's what Crushing It! teaches listeners to do.

In this lively, practical, and inspiring audiobook, Gary dissects every current major social media platform so that anyone, from a plumber to a professional ice skater, will know exactly how to amplify his or her personal brand on each. He offers both theoretical and tactical advice on how to become the biggest thing on old standbys like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and Snapchat; podcast platforms like Spotify, Soundcloud, iHeartRadio, and iTunes; and other emerging platforms such as Musical.ly. For those with more experience, Crushing It! illuminates some little-known nuances and provides innovative tips and clever tweaks proven to enhance more common tried-and-true strategies.

Crushing It! is a state-of-the-art guide to building your own path to professional and financial success, but it's not about getting rich. It's a blueprint to living life on your own terms.

Oh my god, WE GET IT ALREADY!

Considering how much hype Gary Vee has gotten over the last year it's obvious people (including myself) would be excited about this. I got this as my free audiobook from Audible because fucked if I'm gonna pay for what I probably already knew from following Gary on social. It was nice to hear him narrating his own book but my god he is so annoying to listen to. Every fucking sentence is read EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. Seriously, you sound like a 3rd grader in reading class. Furthermore, while I like hearing 1st person stories of people who "made it", Jesus Christ do they also become tedious. "I was a nobody bla bla bla hated my job bla bla bla living in my parents house bla bla bla and then I started doing internet stuff, following my passion bla bla bla and then KABLAMMO suddenly shit started happening. Wow, never heard that one before! Oh except maybe A MILLION TIMES! Goes something like, "once I was just a loser like you, and then I followed my dreams and TA-DAAAA I'm successful now!" Please spare me. We get it, the internet is a huge opportunity. Content, engagement, hard work etc etc will get you a long way. I had to stop listening once he kept going on about Musically - WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT!?! I almost gagged how cheesy that platform is. Oh and saying "never bet against Facebook"? Were you born yesterday? They are INFORMATION WHORES, selling your data to the highest bidder. Its one thing to use it for business but as for personal I would avoid at all costs. The biggest thing that pissed me off was the "I was born with Alpha DNA." Ok shut up now Gary, you are really sounding like a twat. We got your message, now go away and enjoy your millions of dollars

Interesting Idea, Poorly Executed

Long time follower of GV on his Podcasts and Youtube Channel, was a little hesitant buying the book after reading some of the reviews and I'm honestly wishing I could return this Book.
It's mostly an Ad for his previous book Crush It mixed in with a few stories of people who have succeeded using by reading his previous book.
The main problem, the book is about 1/4 good ideas but it's all over the place, if you listen to this while driving on commuting, you can never remember what was said when you left off as the book is just all over the place.

Save the money and watch the Youtube channel and Podcasts, they are better formatted than this book.

Wow, this book really makes the mind switch into full speed

A friend recommended this book, & read it not knowing it was about social media. I don’t know much about social media platforms, so thought I’d continue reading to learn as my 10yr old son is interested.
Wow, half way through my mind turned to so many new things I could do for myself or at least try. Now I’m asking my son for advise on how these things work. Totally mind blowing. Never would I have thought about doing anything I have in mind now, without listening to the book. My mind darted off so many times I’m not sure how much I missed so going to start from the beginning again, do research & take notes. Thanks very much

To be honest, this book it is a waste of time

Literally, a waste of time. It is more about how awesome and great they think of themselves rather than being to the point. You would make much better use of your time listening to podcasts about the topic.
