Resumen del Editor

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.

No"Wow Factor"

That "wow factor" this book talks about... yeah, it's totally missing. From all the books I've bought from Audible, this has been the only one to make me feel like I wasted my time.

extremely useful for any blogger or Public figure

An extremely useful collection of tips for beginner bloggers and anyone who wants to establish a reputation online

Reference Work for Digital Promotion

What did you love best about Platform?

It is both an introduction to promotional utility in the digital world, and an encyclopedia of the tools of the trade.

Would you recommend Platform to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes. I am recommending it to many who need to begin or enhance the creation of an effective platform for a variety of projects.

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

Having lived it, his enthusiasm for the wide world of digital promotion is infectious.

Any additional comments?

Coming from the publishing world, the usefulness of his perspective is a perfect fit for my needs.

Good Course to Review the Basics

What did you love best about Platform?

It moved along great and Micheal is a great reader. Clear and articulate made it easy to listen to.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I had to break it up in order to stay engaged. While the reading of it was great and it moved along great, the information was tedious and became just a lot of information. I would have to stop and give myself a break to be engaged again.

Any additional comments?

The information was good, but not real informative. It was however a great refresher and motivator to get back to doing things that you've let slip.

Overall Good Suggestions, Little Outdated

All good suggestions - some of the tech info (e.g. regarding Twitter) seem outdated but besides that this book contains excellent marketing suggestions. I can honestly say I learned a lot.

A good "how to" guide

Very helpful material and can serve as a good reference guide (I plan to get the print edition for this). The pace of reading is a little fast. Pauses between chapters and section headings would be helpful.

great content

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would certainly recommend this audiobook to anyone looking to build their personal brand. Some great how-to steps in here.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked having a lot of detailed steps to building a platform.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I wasn't thrilled about the narration - the author doing it himself. I understand why he did, though. In a book all about building your own brand and putting yourself out in the world, he kind of had to narrate it himself or risk inauthenticity. (is that a word?)

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, though I didn't.

Ok

Mostly ok, I bought it because I thought it was a tech book, its not.

MH is the Expert

Book is a good overview of the platform concept created by the author. Demonstrates the richness of the concept. More than a year of podcast material, all in one place and integrated nicely. Michael Hyatt never fails to add value.

YES!

I have been looking for direction on how to make my platform bigger, with tools that easy to understand and effective to implement.
This book is my new go to.
Thank you so much Michael Hyatt.😊
