Video: How Gary Vaynerchuk built a "platform" and attracted a 10 book deal - by Joanna Penn

I got so excited about Gary Vaynerchuk’s book deal, I wrote a blog post on it and also made a video so you can see how enthusiastic I am about the whole thing! (I also just saw the spelling mistake on the initial slide – sorry @garyvee !)

If you are interested in learning about how you can build a platform with video, podcasts, a blog, social networking and other web 2.0 tools, then check out the author2zero program (launching in May!)

Brian Rathbone April 4, 2009 at 1:42 am: Thanks for this video. I picked up a few new ideas on building author platforms.

Declan Stanley April 4, 2009 at 12:28 pm: I have just started to build my platform and am following in Cory Doctorow’s footsteps by giving my novel away as a free ebook download.
It is early days yet and it takes a leap of faith to give your book away for free as an ebook and then expect people to pay for a print copy. But it is my hope that I can use my free ebook(s) to connect with an audience who will then support me in my future career.
