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 your ideal customer, both male and female. What does your ideal customer want? What value will your 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, you 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 sources for PR banners, and copy-writing of promos, if that's not your strength.
I’ll keep this book nearby a reference when I need an enthusiasm boost-it’s that enjoyable.

Misleading Title
This is just a book about how you get to become an "influencer" after publishing a "best selling" book. Honestly, I can't believe this is an "award-winning" book. This is just a sales funnel and bate for you to subscribe to her mailing list. Totally spammy with affiliate links left and right! It reads like an extremely long blog post. HATED her writing style, and found a few grammar/spelling errors. I mean, I'm still going to try out some of the advice here, but it's nothing I hadn't read before. Definitely WILL NOT be following her on any other channels. Thank goodness I just borrowed this book for being a Prime customer! I would feel totally ripped off if I had spent money on this... thing. I guess reading it all is on me, but I like to get to read the whole thing in order to give a good review. Please DO NOT waste your money on this!

I've read a number of books (a large number, actually) about promoting my writing, but this one has clearer, more practical information and gives a much wider range of ideas than most. It's full of solid, actionable advice WITH links to lots of extremely useful resources. Many of which I've never seen before...and I wonder why.
Before reading this I didn't feel able to work out a clear plan to promote my writing, despite having read more than a dozen books on marketing and self-publishing. Now, I feel like I can see my path, have a list of websites to get started with promotion and have a lot of ideas for extra things that might not have occurred to me. I don't think being bold comes as naturally to me as to Gundi, but her advice makes me feel as though it's doable, even for me.
Many other books assume the reader has an established platform, but this book has practical solutions for a raw beginner, even if you don't have a solid idea of what you are doing. To get you started, she gives you some ideas about how to "Model what works" using your own unique style and voice. The clarity and casual tone of the writing is like a friend explaining what works and what doesn't in a positive, helpful way.
It took me a while to read the book because I kept stopping to check out the links, make notes and lists, and work on a spreadsheet for my marketing plan. While reading it I've also reworked parts of my author website and blog. I think this book will help a lot of people. I feel like it already has helped and inspired me.

SassyZenGirl, Gundi Gabrielle hits a homerun again!
I just love Gundi’s books. I have read all except two which I already have in my library and will be reading now that I finished this new addition to her amazing collection. For me personally the journey of getting into the Internet marketing niche and becoming an influencer so that I can share my message has been scary and challenging. But when I read books written by Gundi, including this one which was exactly what I needed at this point of my journey, I’m not scared anymore. She makes everything so simple and easy to do and gives me the confidence that I can achieve all my goals. She is also an inspiration to me as a person and woman entrepreneur because of her individuality and incredible talent for creating top quality products every time. It’s always a guarantee that I will be more fully equipped to do anything I learn to do from her. I am so grateful for her contribution to this internet marketing industry where everything can be so overwhelming. After reading this book I know I can be an Influencer, but only if I follow all her step-by-step easy to understand instructions. And like she always says: Make it Fun! I’m ready for this adventure and it’s all thanks to this book and all her other books that have influenced my life so greatly. Thank you Gundi for your Pink Amazing books. You have a faithful follower in me.

The book focused on having the reader start a niche business or write a niche book that he/she can capitalize on because the market is not saturated, at least not yet. Problem is, that niche is hard to find. It's a sort of how-to guide for writing one of Gundi Gabrielle's books, or how to be like Gundi Gabrielle. It features general advice, like having a social media presence and building a brand, which underwhelmed me. I dragged on to complete the book, rather than looking forward to learning something new and interesting.

Starts out well then fizzles
This book starts out great then fades because there's not a lot of expertise to fulfill the topic. She has one expertise which appears to be book publishing. And while it's a catalyst for being an influencer, this book didn't dive into the depths of it. There are way to many internet marketing things in here that shouldn't be in here. It never really focuses on the influencer aspect as a whole. And also there are one too many affiliate links in here which is great for her but it proves to take the reader in too many directions. Good not great.

July 11, 2018So far, I really hate this book. It's written in the style of an overhyped sales page--gets old really fast. If I had a social media follower for every exclamation point she's used in this book, I would never need to read a book on this topic ever again. Glad it was only 99 cents.

Just can't finish this. Blah.

Beginners Guide
It’s a great beginners book that can be taken as a guide for a long term online business. However, I disliked the fact that too many affiliate links are there. Wish all the readers and the author tons of success.

Good but shallow book
I would recommend it as a fast read, but not for insights or as an example of practicality. A fast written book for fast readers.

When the student is ready the teacher shall arrive.
I am glad I read this book in Kindle vice hard copy. I probably highlighted more sections in the book than I left unhighlighted. Ms. Gabrielle embodies what a true influencer and leader is. She empowers you with belief. Belief that you, yes you, can do the same thing she has done, while asking yourself why haven't I done this yet or waited so long to read this book. I will probably read this book again (and a couple more times), because it is watching a movie like the Matrix, no matter how many times you've seen it, you discover something you did not pick up on the last time and only increases the value. After reading this book, I know I can do this. The challenge is what will I do?
