I blog a lot. Right now I have four blogs going and write seven post (in total) each week. It's a good bit of work but as I've posted here many times, it's something I truly enjoy. Most of you are asking, "Does all that blogging make you any money?"

The answer is a little, so far. I've picked up some small engagements from people that like the way I write, the way I think. It's really too early to tell if my blogging is a big money-maker since I've only been blogging for a few months. There is one thing that has happened as a direct result of my blogging that I think is very cool and will, perhaps, be very profitable. I'm getting to interview Gary Vaynerchuk.

Gary Vaynerchuk is the Wine Library TV. He’s been interviewed on The Today Show, Conan O’Brien, CNN, Fox News, CBS Early Show, Mad Money, ABC News, Spike TV, Ellen DeGeneres…you get the idea. He has about 1,000,000 Followers on Twitter. From what I can tell he’s a top five Internet celebrity. Gary, or someone that works for Gary, one never knows with successful people, has been reading my blogs for about as long as I've been writing them and likes them. So when they went looking for people and outlets to promote Gary’s upcoming book Crush It! I made the list. Yessss.

On October 13 Crush It! will be launched nationwide (you can buy advanced copies now at Amazon, etc.). Gary thinks I have enough credibility with my audience and a broad enough audience that I can help him sell books. At the risk of sounding boastful, I think I do too. I had over 2,000 visitors in one day last month and virtually all of them were blog readers. I don't know who they all are and that's not nearly enough to be significant, in an online sense, but it's enough to sell a nice pile of books.

I've read a couple chapters of Gary's book and I like what he has to say. Gary get's it. This is only the first of ten (10!) books Gary has signed on to write. Expect to see a lot more of Gary.

Stay tuned, this little adventure is just getting started.
