Crush It! will show readers how to find their passion, then step by step how to turn it into a flourishing, monetized business.

Ratings and reviews

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.

One of the best books I've ever read about identifying your passion and how to get paid from it. This is a definite must read for those who want to finally know, want they don't know, that's keeping them living safe and not living happy.

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.
