Re: Yancey Strickler of Kickstarter on This Week in Startups #151

I kind of like the fact that people support a project because they want to be part of the story and in return they get something back for their money plus the good feeling of being part of the creation story...I think it's a great deal as is.

Having said that, if after a project was successfully completed and the creator wanted to expand on the project to create a business then an option for the original project funders to invest for equity in the proposed business would be pretty neat.

Re: So Who’s Brand Are You Building?

Steve Anderson — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 16:51:13 -0000

Yes, you are write -- people need to create their own content in order to build a relationship with their own readers. Only after they have done that is it a good idea to promote someone else.

Ann writes in the Renegade Network Marketer Ebook that people should use her system until they get the swing of marketing and then build their own. I think that is a fair comment but having said that, the search engines are making it very hard for people to promote replicated systems so I think people may as well just get on with building their own systems and funnels.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment. I popped over to your blog and checked it out...nice site; clean & simple. I get the impression you are a low key, down-to-earth kind of guy that is not into hype? Johnathon Budd is probably the polar opposite, I wonder if they is why he "rubs you the wrong way".

I see you are marketing MLM Lead System Pro, how long have you been using that system and how do you find it? What are the top 3 things you like about it?

Cheers,
Steve

Another great talk Gary. I thought your point about brands becoming the content creators and owner was really interesting, no doubt that will come to pass.

Hey not much language in this one, cleaning up your act buddy? I always got a laugh when you started cussing.

When are you coming to Australia?

Bummer 2 videos of yours that I missed, for some odd reason the one you posted on Hulu won't work for people outside of the US...what's that all about??

Anyway, look forward to your next one, can't beat Viddler.

I've subscribed to your RSS and so I'll look forward to watching your blog grow.

Steve Anderson — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:51:51 -0000

Hey Gary,

The Vook platform is awesome. Although I have your physical book I just couldn't help getting the Vook too!

So I come home after a great days work, cook a big juicy aussie steak and sit down with a bottle of 2007 Pinot Noir NS01 VIN DE PAYS D'OC (pretty good for 10 bones) and your Vook...what a way to finish the day.

I watched every video from start to finish. The quality is stunning and the way you weave your story into it is absolutely brilliant. I really loved the Video for CH 9 - The Best Marketing Strategy Ever and CH 13 - Legacy Is Greater Than Currency.

If people can produce Vooks using your standard as a benchmark than I reckon it will be a hit for sure.

I'll by more Vooks and today was the first I'd heard of them.

Steve Anderson — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:55:22 -0000

Yeah, it's really interesting the way culture shifts over time. As kids, we used save our coke bottles so we could peg them at signs driving down the highway at a 100km (they were either glass or cans back then), that was our fun. There used to be litter beside all the signs so I guess it wasn't just us. I'd be gob-smacked if I saw that today.

I'm sure we'll continually be blown away by how things change and become the 'accepted norm'.

Great vid

Re: Gary Vaynerchuk - This even takes my Hustle to another level

Steve Anderson — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:25:06 -0000

Hey Jason did you manage to read Gary's book?

Chapter 5:
"To monetize your personal brand into a business using social marketing networks, two pillars need to be in place: product and content.

We talked about how to choose your product, which should be whatever you are most passionate about. Whatever it is, it should go without saying that quality counts in a major way. You can hustle and market and network all you want, but if your sports drink tastes like trash, or if you're putting out bad information, you're going to lose"

That's like saying Gary gets from one city fast because he takes a plane when he should take a car like everyone else. It would be silly for him to talk about the planes that cart him around because no-one cares about that.

The publicist is just a vehicle for Gary to get his stuff out there, if it was crap it wouldn't matter who was promoting or publishing it. In addition to that if you haven't got the chops would all these people ask Gary on t.v. and to do keynotes and so on? It's because he worked his butt off and attracted the attention of these people.

In the old days maybe money was the key factor in getting your message to market but I think you might be missing the whole point of Crush It and Gary...in this age where info is shared so quickly, money without quality on the backend is pretty useless.

Anyway just my 2 cents worth.

Re: Gary Vaynerchuk - This even takes my Hustle to another level

Steve Anderson — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:09:27 -0000

Jeez Gary, why you being such a lazy bones, surely you can do more than just 6 book signings and Q&A sessions in 24 hours...

Take care buddy!

Re: Gary Vaynerchuk - The Thank You Economy. The world of content is...

Steve Anderson — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:04:48 -0000

Great point Adam,

I would say that companies got complacent because consumers where complacent...while the economy was hot, people were spending money far too recklessly.

Now that money is not flowing as freely customers are looking for better value. More than ever people need to feel valued themselves and so business who get that will win for sure.

The way I see it consumers are as responsible for demanding good quality and service as much as the companies are responsible for providing it, two sides of a coin and we all have our role to play.

I do totally agree with you about ethics, integrity, and looking after people though, it should be something should be a natural extension of our cores selves manifest in every dealing we have -- whether it be personal or business.

Perhaps it's time to change that old verse, "Money is the root of all evil" -- maybe we could change that to; "money is the fruit of living a passionate and caring life"

Always enjoy your thoughtful comments.

Steve

Steve Anderson — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:21:38 -0000

Great message Gary.

Reciprocity is a powerful force...when we care and give because that is what we genuinely want to do (rather than get something in return) it's just natural that people will want to care back and give back.

I love what you do and what you give and to be truthful, if you told me you were putting another book out tomorrow, I'd pre-order it even if it didn't have a name yet (and I'd pay good money for it!). I really dig you and so I'm invested in your success, I want you to be around and I'm sure a lot of people feel exactly the same way (the best part is your book actually kicks ass).

I work with the company SendOutCards and the CEO of that company powerfully believes in appreciating people, acknowledging people, and celebrating them. His main moto is that appreciation wins over self promotion every time...I've found that to be true.

I've built 2 acupuncture clinics now and each time I built them caring for one patient at a time. In fact, I've never advertised my services ever, I just did the best I could for the person in front of me and let the rest take care of itself...and it always did.

I now have a website where I keep a record of cards I send out to people just to say thanks and that I appreciate them (http://yourthankyoucard.com), and back in December, 2007, I actually sent you a card after listening to your call with Rich Schefren, it absolutely blew my mind; http://yourthankyoucard.com/thank-you-card-jour....

“The deepest principle in human nature is the craving for appreciation”
- William James

I think the thank you economy is upon us and really caring for people is where it's at.

Absolutely love what you do!

Hi Dagmar,

I would love to catch up with you soon, let's do it. I've actually been thinking about creating a social site for greeting card stories so perhaps we can chat about that when we catch up, it's a great idea.

Chat soon,

Steve
