#QOTD
Expand on the last rant: tactics vs. religion, quantity vs. quality, branding vs. numbers. I’d love your thoughts on that answer.
#TIMESTAMPS
2:04 – Who owns our usernames? Us or the app? What happens if the app came around today and said that they are charging for your username? Would you pay to keep it?
5:31 – If you’re trying to establish a legal firm, real estate sales team, a management consultant practice, are you better suited marketing your brand and your new company or focusing on the people with the skills who can bring value to your clients? Market the firm or the person?
7:13 – Is Twitter making a comeback with their recent addition of GIFs?
8:15 – How do we grow our Snapchat followers?

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE #ASKGARYVEE SHOW
—
Gary Vaynerchuk builds businesses. Fresh out of college he took his family wine business and grew it from a $3M to a $60M business in just five years. Now he runs VaynerMedia, one of the world’s hottest digital agencies. Along the way he became a prolific angel investor and venture capitalist, investing in companies like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Uber, and Birchbox before eventually co-founding VaynerRSE, a $25M angel fund.
The #AskGaryVee Show is Gary’s way of providing as much value value as possible by taking your questions about social media, entrepreneurship, startups, and family businesses and giving you his answers based on a lifetime of building successful, multi-million dollar companies.
Gary is also a prolific public speaker, delivering keynotes at events like Le Web, and SXSW, which you can watch right here on this channel.

@Garyvee #Clipit12:00–13:00 It doesn't take away from the fact that it is the answer. Too many people are playing checkers when the game is playing chess – Gary, this is pure gold. This needs to be told and re told to everyone watching and listening to you, from the 18-25 year olds especially. This was a beautiful metaphor for short game vs long game, patience vs panic. #Garyvee#Vaynernation
This show is my favourite thing to have playing in the background while I work. Keeps me motivated and always learning. Thanks for everything you do G Vee!
#QOTD As I am starting out as a career/life coach I have a slogan "Find your purpose in life" , I haven't got a brand name yet. I am sharing my journey of building up my practice and what I learn from it along the way.
Ok maybe im just salty af but when he goes "sometimes ppl dont understand how companies work" its like he is sayin dude companies dont do stupid shit , wich i agree but then again theres instagram being stupid and making the feed work based on likes or wtvr WAT DO U MEAN IG!? Thats a stupid ass decision wtf SOMEONE PLS tell me how tf that makes it better bc it does not work for me ! Ok ill leave now
Gary V!!!! Dude you are fucking awesome!! I know Seth has done great things in the market, however he is in the 1800's of thought… You are in 2050 of the market place.. You have inspired me like crazy.. Thanks brother
#QOTD : Don't just listen and spit it back out to someone else to sell. Learn it live it understand it trust it. If you don't trust something for yourself do not sell it to someone else.
Quantity vs quality I feel like is up to you to decide, but there still gotta be a pretty healthy balance. What's for branding vs numbers… Branding is something people believe you are so if you have a great branding- custumers count on you, they trust you and so you can grow bigger and bigger. Numbers thought are just numbers. People can have millions subs on youtube, but not as much views. Its all because not numbers matter, but people who care for things you do. And with good branding you can have both the people and numbers.
I adore listening and learning about PATIENCE in your speeches and/or podcasts. Thank you. It's spread evenly throughout as you explain remembering life prior to social media. I like to listen to how another imagines the future when they are able to remember the past. Great job!
to be honest I liked snapchat better when it was just about girls sending sexy pics that they wouldn't text but I see the clear value in it because its how my clients communicate with their kids, just like facebook it was a totally different animal and I can remember being in college with it and once it opened up beyond colleges and then parents got on… trying to watch if things develop in a similar way.
I like the interruptions and here is why. It is so easy to say something – as fact – and move the conversation forward without really clarifying if it is fact or not. I think Seth is great (this isn't about Seth). But the way you interview and pull back to ensure you are moving forward correctly is phenomenal. That is how serious conversations can create serious value. Not just create sound bites.
Gary I completely agree, a lot of people see the sales and transaction side of business but forget that in this generation people by into BRANDS and not into just mum and pop shops anymore. Their skills to transact the sale need to be as frequent as their branding and marketing of their product and service.
EyeGames is an app that helps gamers discover new video games to play for any console. We wanted to get on that snapchat wave and tried to take your advice.
Here's what we did. We found some legit girl gamers, and we decided to talk to them on how they could help promote us. We paid them 30 dollars to get on this girls snap who has 10k plus followers. We decided to send her a shirt and at the time we told her we were doing a giveaway for a free video game. She said it in snap linked our name and our snap went from 4 views a story to 400. I thought it worked we get way more interaction on snap chat now.
I appreciate your help Gary. I tweeted at you a 30 second pitch of a new app our company is creating. We want you to be an investor on it. The video was from @pic_acardnecard
#QOTD The quality of marketing and value will determine results. I strongly believe any business that makes its focus transactional will suffer in the long term. Making the experience of doing business a pleasant and uplifting one will bear fruit many times over. It's karmic/cyclical I say.
#QOTD I think that the growth hacking side of things is a lot easier than the marketing part of things, which you mentioned in your rant. What I have done in the past is used success from growth hacking (several times that you have RT or replied to a tweet), I get a lot of new followers from those interactions. That growth hacking has now provided me with an opportunity to market and sell to a larger follower base now. So, I think that the 2 go hand in hand. Successful growth hacking can help your marketing efforts land on more eyeballs….. You keep asking Questions of the Day Gary, and I'll keep answering!

Don’t feel bad Gary. I liked you giving Seth a hard time. Lol
Okay. Going to Google quant v qual. I need to grasp this more fully. Thx Gary.
I actually like the fact that you can't hack SnapChat. The only way to grow it is to do it. It is hard, but it's a helluva lot of fun!

I hear "be about it" fill in the IT with the outcome you want. I also heard macro/quant versus micro/qual. Even if we don't like the answers.
Thank you for making the GIF correction; I almost lit my office on fire after hearing that.
Ik wil met vrouwen naakte foto's en snap Chat delen l

On the last rant: Yes man, I get derailed on looking for transaction because y need income… but you help me keep focus and get back on track again.
#QOTD :
Don't just listen and spit it back out to someone else to sell. Learn it live it understand it trust it. If you don't trust something for yourself do not sell it to someone else.
Just asked my sister this…loved the answer!!!!
Is it me or the number of your YT subscribers has EXPLODED in the last quarter??

Cool answers mate. In short term period numbers don't matter! JLD are you from Greece?

loved it GV. had a similar question to JLD and your answer rocks
Hey Gary,

Saw you today at #icon16 good, honest talk.
100% on the chess vs checkers analogy. A lot of people do not have the discipline or stamina to run the marathon. It is a marathon! Not a sprint!
Interrupting Seth was way more interesting than and old boring interview. Is ok to disagree and debate. Just do your thing Gary.
#QOTD The quality of marketing and value will determine results. I strongly believe any business that makes its focus transactional will suffer in the long term. Making the experience of doing business a pleasant and uplifting one will bear fruit many times over. It's karmic/cyclical I say.
great stuff
Great snap chat answer Gary! I agree that I had been a bit unclear until now as well. Thanks for what you do.
