107. Crush it !! by Gary V || More about Personal Branding than anything else but Great.

There is no doubt that Gary V is one of the most influential internet personality today.
I have read his "Jab Jab.." and I loved it back then and then randomly I found this book and decided to give it a read as well.
The Book is about the internet, passion, entrepreneurship, startups, finding purpose in life, doing whatever it takes to get successful and personal branding along with bits of Gary's life, upbringing and how he grew up and got interested in the internet.
If you are a Vlog maker or a Blog writer or both like me then you will definitely love this book.
This book will motivate you to start making your own vlogs right now.
In a sense, this is a motivational book as well. Gary's writing is easy to read, clear, crisp, easy to understand and for some reason, every heading is intentionally kept in small fonts or maybe that was in my Kindle format, I don't know.
People are reading less and books business is going down the drain. In this era books like these is a huge welcome for people who can't read much.
I finished the entire book in one sitting, however, I recommend and advice you not to finish the book in one sitting because that won't help you.
I did it because I intend to read it again.
This book should be read and applied and should not be a for a casual read.
If you are not serious about the internet, still and does not understand how big the internet has become then this book is not for you and not to boast I am a pretty fast reader. 
Gary also talks about his secrets like how he doesn't like to write and hired people to write blogs for him and how he started very early to make vlogs which brought his wine sales to ever high.
He also tells you a few great resources on how to get more subscribers and how to post your content on multiple platforms on just one click. 
Few websites she mentioned are either closed or acquired over now but most of them are working so it was helpful in that sense.
Like I tried using TubeMugal so many time but now it is acquired by Adobe and every other media management website is charging way too much money for someone who is just starting up to pay every month.
There is also few pearls of wisdom in the book like for those who are looking for shortcuts, he tells you how it won't work. He tells you that there is no escaping the fact that everything takes time to bloom and same goes with internet and social media influence. One should not be employed in wishful thinking and run after faster success and most importantly, don't fucking leave your job to become internet influencer. It may sometimes take years to become social Media influencer. So don't rush up.
You have to work hard and miss lots of enjoyment in life and until and unless it is a true passion for you, don't go for it.
The best thing I learn from the book was about Personal Branding.
Yes, instead of opening a company if you are a startup working alone, or even if you have a company, or working for someone else, it is very necessary that you work on your personal brand as you.
Talk to as many people are you can and engage in conversations with as many people as you can and it will help you grow your community and along with it, it will help you sell your brand and your product.
The book finishes in a short time and sometimes you feel that if only there was more to it. So for that reason, I will go start reading his other books because thank god he writes so much.
