Reading Gundi’s book gives you the ‘Kick in the Pants’ motivation of a Tony Robbins event.
Gundi jumps right in by addressing the greatest fear many of us have (no, not speaking to a large audience) it’s asking strangers (or even friends) to buy a product from us. It’s the basis of Marketing, and she encourages us to be comfortable with the concept of asking friends and strangers to buy our product. She makes light of it by referring to it as the “M-word.”Her advice: Get over it. Don’t project that you expect a rejection. Project that you’re offering something of value. The follow through by providing the promised value and add a little extra whenever possible – Overachieve and your customers will return to buy again and again.One section I enjoyed, and put into immediate practice, was creating an avatar for my ideal customer, both male and female. What does my ideal customer want? What value will my product provide above the basic? Learn your customer demographics: age, gender, location, social media habits, and buying habits. She suggests finding a picture of your ideal female/male ideal customer from your lists of social media friends. She explains that if you ask them easy questions, your own intuition will develop an understanding of what your customer expects, and from this, learn how to open a real dialogue with your future customers.The real purpose behind Gundi topics is for the reader to become a trusted source of information, not just huckster trying to sell some your customer a product they are only marginally interested in buying. Gundi describes that by getting a few of your followers to share your product with their friends and followers, your audience reach can grow exponentially—going viral!She explains how to connect with other opinion makers and become their opening act to a number of top acts. This allows you to tap their large audience. She explains the best way to do this is NOT by being brash, writing them out-of-the-blue, but developing a relationship by helping them by referring others to their work in your social media, sharing and posting their work on your social media, and adding insightful comments that promote discussion on their social media. She advises that you need to show the “big name” that you are more than another follower, but someone who actively shares and promotes the “big names” work (Products, seminars, posts, tweets, etc.). By establishing a relationship the reader can become someone the “big name: can rely upon. At this point your request far advice and assistance has a basis for future cooperation.In closing, Gundi addresses cooperating in events such as “Live Facebook.” I use live Facebook events to launch my novels that have resulted in great initial sales. In recognition of the time and effort many of her suggestions require, Gundi shares a number of her sources, such as where to find a Virtual Assistance, and source for PR banners, and copy-writing of promos, if that's not your strength.I’ll keep this book nearby as a reference when I need an enthusiasm boost-it’s that enjoyable.

Success Blueprint Beyond Belief
This book goes beyond expectations in that it presents a very detailed plan of action for 6 to 12 months. Gundi shares lots of very detailed group of “How To Lists” explaining each step in great detail.She not only shares her knowledge, but reaches out to share others expertise to cause reader to find it difficult to not just read continue reading on and yet digest all the information. As I started reading my kindle highlighter got a workout. I decided to forego additional highlighting and read the last half of the book and simply read the remaining portion of the book. Then as complete segments read and study more.This is definitely a must have (my plan is to purchase print copy too) and will be used a lot in the next few months as I follow the 7 steps to become an “Influencer” and for many years to follow. The book is one of those must have that the print copy will show lots of use.

Chocked full of useful tips and resources for anyone willing to invest the time and effort to become an influencer.
I like Gundi's points about anyone can become an influencer by taking the appropriate actions. However, as she points out, you will have to make an effort at the right things.I’ve read and heard a lot about email marketing over the years. I like the way Gundi clarifies the use of the autoresponder sequence after sign up to cover points in the book in more detail, one point at a time. And also she has good tips on getting people engaged with the email by asking specific questions.Probably one of her best overall pieces of advice is to “Model what works.”She gives great tips on how to run a feedback group for most impact.Speaking of modeling what works, throughout the book, she takes her own advice by recommending affiliate products where they fit well. I didn’t count, but I have the impression that she gave more links that were not affiliate ones than she gave affiliate links. She definitely has a raft of sources and resources to take you beyond what she tells you how to do as well as to reinforce her points with articles and videos from recognized influencers.While I myself have thought about product sales as another stream of income, Gundi includes some unique suggestions I’ve never heard before.A natural part of developing your position as an influencer is to do guest posts for other blogs and to do guest appearances on podcasts. Where Gundi excels is in telling you how to do that and then giving you people and places to get more in depth training if you want to really excel.I never thought about Instagram being the platform for travel writers until Gundi brought it up. It makes sense though.She makes a strong case for both becoming a bestselling author if you want to become an influencer. But she doesn’t stop there. She gives you multiple ways to leverage that status.A point that Gundi made as a side rant really feels right to me: “Somehow I doubt that at the end of our journey, we will look back and cherish all the money we made or the successes we had. But rather, how fully we lived each moment,...”I hope this review is enough to give you strong reasons to buy AND READ then act on Influencer Fast Track. It’s chocked up of great tips and resources for more in-depth on those areas you choose to excel at.(Note: I got a free PDF copy of this book before I was able to acquire my Kindle version so that I could review this book upon its release. This is called an "Advanced Reader Copy." I received no other compensation or consideration for my review so you can rest assured my opinion is sincere.)

Extremely Helpful
you'll pay a lot of money in courses to learn what's outlined in this book. I had this book for few years, all the courses I took, was already here.

Eu tinha maiores expectativas sobre o livro. O passo a passo foi muito especifico e não acredito que usarei pra algo prático.

Great and Fresh Ideas
I received an advance copy for an honest review. This was my first time with a SassyZenGirl book, but the subject matter is one which I've recently been intrigued with. The book contains many and thorough pieces of information, and is slanted to take a newbie approximately 6 months to work through all the various topics to build towards an "expert" or influencer track.I found quite a few new ideas which I can apply to my own blogging and potential business ideas, and I would recommend the read to anyone. However, I'm dropping a star off (should only be half a star) because the structure in the book doesn't allow you to easily move along a six month path to implementing. Although there are sub-headings aplenty, the narrative moves around from idea to idea a lot, and if you are trying to work out how to implement a major idea, you may find - as I did - that you will be bookmarking some passages, yet stumbling to go back and find that one idea piece you read previously which you suddenly think relevant. Structurally a good end of section checklist or action points may have been helpful. Other than that, the book is written with exurberance, is quite quirky and full of ideas,so I will be re-reading as a reference and taking closer notes in the future.

Fast track your influencer ambitions, the sassyzengirl way!
Wooohooo!!! Another FUN and SASSY book from 10x bestselling author, Gundi Gabrielle. This powerhouse of a book provides a 7-step blueprint that will help you achieve influencer status, whatever your business or passion. This book will dispel myths about what it takes to be an influencer and help you to take action to achieve influencer success. It is also packed with additional resources that will help to make this journey a lot easier and more enjoyable. Ms Gabrielle definitely knows what she’s talking about. She’s been there, done that, and has the track record to prove it. I also LOVE her conversational style of writing. It makes you feel as if you have your own personal cheerleader, just cheering you on to pursue your influencer ambitions and get on with it! :)
