The Dtube Book Review - Platform by Cynthia Johnson

in dtube •  6 years ago 


I started reading this gem about two weeks ago and finally got through it this week..

And I apologize for not getting through it sooner, because it started off with a bang and got me REALLY excited...

As you can see on my post from a few weeks ago...

But life happens, no excuse...Book review i ready this week :)

Platform by Cynthia Johnson is brilliant work!

It's part history lesson and also part college course that shows people the in's and out's of developing a strong personal brand.

At around 200 pages, it's a very easy book to read and I enjoyed the mix of personal success stories as well as some practical steps you can use today to build your personal brand.

Of course...I try to tie in everything I learn by reading into steps we can take here on Steem!

So I hope you enjoy the review and have a fantastic weekend...

I'll upvote all your comments, and give some @SteemBasicIncome units to the best feedback and book recommendations on the topic of personal branding!

I was beginning to wonder why you had not done the book review of this book last week, after the glowing comments you had already made about this book.
Glad to hear it was just a time factor instead of the book becoming a dud part way threw it.

oh i have some gems ready for next week :)

Authenticity is SO important & it is something I am always emphasizing. When one is their authentic self, they are bringing something to the world that no one else can bring in the same way. Consistency & showing up every day combined with authenticity are the key components to a winning formula.

Thanks for this review. Once again, ANOTHER book on the bucket list. Geezzz, mine is a mile long now. LOL

scary but i’m going to the bookstore this afternoon too. addicted!!! lol

This one really got my attention as my journey here on Steem has really led me down the personal branding rabbit hole. I see it every day in my professional career and the power it has to create influence. I think the same goes here and the potential it has for the future of the ecosystem. Thanks for sharing!

you guys are my frickin’ hero’s in life!!! especially @captainbob and @kevinli lol

I have to admit that I have stopped with reading these type of books... Not because they are bad, just because I've got involved in other things (trying to learn other foreign language), so I am now in "comic book" area... loool... Sound childish, but there are great masterworks in that field, too... (and it is easier to read in Spanish)

Anyway, the book that you have reviewed sounds awesome, and it really gets into the bullseye... From your words it looked like it is written directly for Steem, and you did a great review... I would say that you have transferred some great thoughts and make it "real"... It was like that it is written for everyone of us here on board...

Thanks for review! Keep them coming!

thanks man. appreciate that. oh nothing wrong with comics lol i’m addicted to those as well. and sci fi lol

Great bookreview @jongolson, good that you finally did it, being authentic is all about honesty and trust, that's why it's so important.

So on another note, are you involved in RocketResponder and if so how does the affiliate program through Shareasale work when it comes to payments, and the fact that you can pay with BitcoinCash, if you don't mind the question?

no sir. nothing to do with that program at all anymore.

Ok thanks anyway.

Just trying to put some pieces together for how to market Steem to affiliate marketers, I just released my ebooks on Steem with the basics for how to use it for blogging, also featuring SteemSavvy for more info by the way.

So now I try to find the right angle to get affiliates to join, the why so to speak, while the ebooks handle the how.

Trying to get affiliates to join me on Discord does not really fit that narrative, even though it works great on Steem.

Just hoping that @engrave will release the updates they promised, so that the editor and images works on both computers and phones, it's a great dApp otherwise since you can have your own .com domain on your Steem blog with SEO and such.

Sorry for the ramble.
