My Beyond Blogging Book Review
2 Mar
I just started reading Beyond Blogging. I realize it’s been out for a while now but I was hoping I could just download it for free off a bit torrent site. That never happened so I paid for it. As should everyone. And no, I’m not going to share my copy for free either.
This book is amazing. Mike and Nathan did an excellent job with creating the book.
If you haven’t already read it I’d highly recommend it. And I don’t even have an affiliate link thingy on my site so I’m not making anything out of steering you to the product.
You can find links to Beyond Blogging on Nathan’s site or Mike’s site or you can find affiliate links on one of your favorite blogs if you prefer.
Either way I would highly recommend purchasing the product even if you aren’t monetizing your site.
Yesterday I read about Gary Vaynerchuk. His work ethic is inspirational.
Gary does videos on wine which I’ve never watched and on more general topics on the site I do visit (initial link).
I remember the first time I visited his site from a link from another site a few months ago.
My first thought was who is this guy and why all the fuss about him. He looks like the average joe off the street. He’s casually dressed. He doesn’t have a fancy set. It’s just him, his words and a table separating him from his audience.
Then I watched his video. I remember the video but I remember him even more.
Gary has a way of making you feel like he is talking to you personally. One on one.
Watching one of his videos is like visiting a friend. And when you leave you look forward to visiting them again.
It’s an amazing talent and something I am working on accomplishing in my own videos.
You can check out my progress on the sidebar. I know..I have a long way to go..
But in my defense I am trying to get better. And eventually I will.
Anyways, buy Beyond Blogging if you haven’t purchased it already. You won’t be disappointed.
And check out Gary Vaynerchuk’s site if you haven’t been there. His enthusiasm is bound to rub off on you. If you have been there you already know what I mean.
Oh, and keep watching my videos. Eventually you will be able to tell your Grandchildren
“I knew that guy when he sucked..”
And they’ll say “No…you’re just joking right Grandpa (or Grandma.)”
And then you’ll mumble something about kids today and your false teeth will fall out.
So, have you read Beyond Blogging? If you have read it whose story inspired you the most?
Thanks so much for the fantastic review Glen! We’re just in the process of launching the Beyond Blogging Project at the moment, so it’s an exciting time for us.
Wow, that was fast. I was just in the process of finishing my edits to the post.
But it is really I who should be thanking you and Nathan.
The book is amazing. What you are charging for it is almost like giving it away.
Looking forward to your further projects Mike..
Haha! We don’t miss a trick!
I agree, it is an excellent book! I come from more of an internet marketing background. The book helped me understand the differences between IM and blogging. The case studies helped me make the transition.
In addition to the great info, Mike and Nathan are really cool guys! They don’t hide behind their keyboards. I see them helping people daily. I’m very thankful I found these guys.
I’ve only read the first chapter but I’ve been following Mike and Nathan for a while now. They are cool guys..
