Publisher's summary

In Platform, Michael Hyatt, one of the top business bloggers in the world, provides down-to-earth guidance for building and expanding a powerful platform.

To be successful in the market today, you must possess two strategic assets: a compelling product and a meaningful platform. In this step-by-step guide, Michael Hyatt, former CEO and current Chairman of Thomas Nelson Publishers, takes readers behind the scenes, into the new world of social media success. He shows you what best-selling authors, public speakers, entrepreneurs, musicians, and other creative minds are doing differently to win customers in today’s crowded marketplace.

Hyatt speaks from experience. He writes one of the top 800 blogs in the world and has more than 100,000 followers on Twitter. His large and growing platform serves as the foundation for his successful writing, speaking, and consulting practice.

In Platform, Hyatt will teach readers not only how to extend their influence, but also how to monetize it and build a sustainable career. The key is to build a platform. It has never been easier, less expensive, or more possible than right now.

The book includes:

  • Proven strategies,
  • Easy-to-replicate formulas, and
  • Practical tips.

Social media technologies have changed everything. Now, for the first time in history, non-celebrities can get noticed - and win big! - in an increasingly noisy world.

Leading by positive example

I purchased Platform on both Kindle and Audible. I am glad that I did. The book is so jam-packed with lists and practical advice, I will return to it as a resource again and again. If you want to learn more, I suggest that you read Michael's blog, listen to his podcast, This is Your Life and consider signing up for Platform University.

Great Resource Book!

This book exceeded my expectations! There was so much valuable and useful information that can be implemented right away! I wasn't prepared to have so much great content delivered in one book. Now I have to go back and listen to this again, only next time I will need a big notebook and pen. I will surely refer back to this book many times again!

Life Changing

What did you love best about Platform?

This book is the most helpful book I may have ever read. It is helpful to anyone looking to be better at promotion. This is a must read.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The author is fun and lighthearted.

What does Michael Hyatt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love hearing the author read their own books, it shows how they would add importance and inflection to the words they wrote.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

(this isn't the movie type of book)

Any additional comments?

Just read it!!!

Good for a beginner

This is a good overview for someone new into building a "platform" or a following of fans. Comprehensive overview. But not a lot of depth.

Excellent tips

What made the experience of listening to Platform the most enjoyable?

Michael Hyatt shares useful tips that I have already put into action and I'm not even completely finished.

Any additional comments?

This book is written as a reference book so I'm still planning to buy a physical copy to read and refer to in the future. I'll probably listen again in the future as well.
