Summary:In his 2009 book Crush It, Gary Vaynerchuk insisted that a vibrant personal brand was crucial to entrepreneurial success. Now Gary explains why that's even more true today, offering his perspective on what has changed in the last nine years 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. 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 guide to building your own path to professional and financial success and a blueprint to living life on your own terms.

Author Notes:Gary Vaynerchuk was born on November 14, 1975 in Babruysk, U.S.S.R. He immigrated to the United States in 1978 with his family and moved to Edison, New Jersey. While in high school, he joined the family business, a liquor store called Shoppers Discount Liquors that his father started. Soon afterward, he became obsessed with collecting wine. He graduated from Mount Ida College in Newton, Massachusetts. He spent every weekend of his college years at his parents' store, re-branding the family business as Wine Library and establishing himself as a respected expert. In 1997, he recognized the importance of e-commerce and he created WineLibrary.com. He started a video blog Wine Library TV in 2006 to share his knowledge and passion for wine.

In the spring of 2009, he and his brother launched VaynerMedia, a social media brand consulting agency. He has written several books including Gary Vaynerchuk's 101 Wines: Guaranteed to Inspire, Delight, and Bring Thunder to Your World, The Thank You Economy, and Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy, Social World.
