[02:47] like a fitness clothing brand and so I wanted to get your feedback like from a more General standpoint let's say what's some biggest mistakes you see some of trying to grow on social media that you see that they make on that regards they

[03:02] make content that's selfish and they don't make content that brings value to people so for example putting out content to show people how to stretch their hip flexor is like a piece of content that brings people

[03:17] value and that's something they could be doing in the gym right and so out how cool my [ __ ] pants are and [ __ ] sell sell sell look what I'm doing right now I want people to buy vriends tra I want every single person

[03:34] collecting vriends because I think I'm building the next Pokemon but look what I'm doing in real life instead of just doing sell sell sell I'm here trying to provide value and then everyone's like what's v

[03:48] giveaway let's give away this shrewd shark I'm going to sign this now I'm going like I'm using the platform watch this I'm showing you in real time now I've signed this it brings it more value some can sell this for 100 bucks on eBay

[04:01] now I'm going to put up a giveaway that's going to go up right how many people here are on the show for the first time they're all going to click all the PE 100 people just clicked if they weren't following the account

[04:13] entering the giveaway made them follow the account now I'm going to point to the notes there's a little yellow tabby right that I'm pointing to that's the notes field if you click that and you click the little vf15 in there that goes

[04:26] there's a code in it goes in your shopping cart and then later when I sell these for instead of 25 for 15 bucks people are going to get free and they really doing is providing value it's almost like a global jab jab jab right

[04:40] hook yeah and it further reemphasizes what then what based same on you said that's exactly what I've been trying to F I don't want to focus so much on the like hey look guys you know like started motivational I even started a podcast

[04:53] too to just bring other guest to Pride other value and so forth so awesome brother love you apprciate before we go uh Mackenzie you got one from the text everybody 2129315731 I just sent a text out and

[05:07] people are asking questions through there and McKenzie's jumping in during break times but while we're before we go to Mackenzie and her question as you can see on screen everybody please and I see you OE I see you holding Atlanta I see

[05:21] you Veronica Z I see you I see all of you y bets JP in Japan Theo K I need I need all of you to go to gary.com whatnot download the app download the

[05:36] app mom of three girls and Edison New Jersey yes I see you Lucifer 9 I see all of you but I need you to see me by going to Gary b.com whatnot download the app it's a global app not just us only I need to teach you how to do this social

[05:50] shopping content thing but I need you on this platform to teach you McKenzie fire away we got Kelly I'm 48 how do I get over the fear the AI is going to replace my job as a realtor I'm going to college getting my masters in Psychology but it

[06:04] worries me AI is going to replace that as well and then I'll have debt to go along with it don't be scared of AI like especially if you're a realtor like robots are not showing up at houses next year like we're not there yet like if

[06:17] you're a designer who has no ideas if you were a graphic designer who has no ideas you should be worried about AI but if you're a real estate agent it's like

[06:29] like [ __ ] Megan Fox is not showing up at a listing and selling the house like that movie showed anytime soon we're a little ways away from that so let's calm it the [ __ ] down let's stop always using fear what this 48-year-old young woman

[06:43] needs to do is stop using fear as her reaction to new things right because you know this like when I see new [ __ ] I go on the

[06:55] offense I mean by the way AI could disrupt advertising way quicker than it's going to disrupt real estate home sales so I think for everyone here it's about fear or optimism and I think too many people default into fear on

[07:10] everything they hear so I think the answer to her is to quit it stop being scared who's next Alber Albert what's good brother jump in here what is the code Eddie the code is in the notes here I'm about to

[07:26] sell some of these I'll get to you in a second on that where you from where I'm from California amazing what part brother from the Bay Area from s

[07:40] California it's a pleasure to meet you what's your question my friend nice to what's your question my friend nice to meet you so my question is um we've been I've had a food business where we s uh at festivals and fairs I've had the

[07:54] at festivals and fairs I've had the business for about 9 years and now we're we're we're trying we never been on social media I haven't really created any content if you go on our uh profiles you're going to see shitty content on

[08:07] there but now we're we're we're wanting to get into this branding cuz I believe it's time now because we're very well known we actually we went out and we bought a really nice uh trailer and we're trying to get into catering now

[08:22] but we don't know how to really go about it um marketing wise what should we do what should we not do and just like that I love it brother couple things number one you need to look at the companies that are located

[08:38] in a 20 mile radius of your where you live and find okay find their HR people live and find okay find their HR people or their CEOs on LinkedIn and send them

[08:50] messages okay so if there's an office 3 minutes from you and you see it's called Logitech literally find them on LinkedIn in and send them a message and say you're a new catering company in the area and would they like to talk you're

[09:05] literally just like the ironically the post that I'm trying to get everyone to look at that I just posted on Instagram literally okay you're going to get 80 oh we had a giveaway winner Maple bear with the big win let's clap it up for Maple

[09:20] bear everyone Maple bear with a nice win Maple bear um so you want to do that you want to make content on Instagram you also want to

[09:33] content on Instagram you also want to search your town on Instagram so like I'm gonna show you I'm tired of people not doing stuff what town are you in in San Jose yep San Jose so literally I'm searching San Jose

[09:50] on Instagram I hit enter okay right and now it's showing me I that I hit re watch

[10:06] here from San Jose okay and now I'm looking at content from San Jose right and I'm seeing people I can click that content get a sense of who that person is and I see this guy and he does ironically he does food and literally he

[10:23] has 178,000 followers and I could message him and say I'm going to say keep going cuz I'm going to give him some positivity but you could have said do I'm a caterer in the area or a food I've got a food I got

[10:36] a vegetable stand do you want to do something together so okay not notice so content I've talked to you about messaging messaging strategy okay LinkedIn and Instagram

[10:51] searching your town after that you need to make content that is just about what you sell and what you make like okay I don't think you need my advice to what to make by the way Gary v.com attention everybody tag it up

[11:07] right now Gary v.com attention my brother okay I made a deck how many brother okay I made a deck how many pages is it 44 47 I made a 47 page deck for free for free if you go to Gary b.com

[11:24] attention it's free and it will show you how to do content in detail and then I have a quick question s so worries we went out and we got a a professional photographer did a video really nice shoot of our

[11:41] product and my question is on my social media platforms should I delete all of my shitty old content and put the new content or should I leave should I leave it what's the best thing to do doesn't [ __ ] matter both work it doesn't

[11:55] matter both work okay if you feel some sort of way and insec C about the shitty content cuz you think it's shitty delete it I I don't think it [ __ ] matters so good news it doesn't matter okay perfect all right brother

[12:10] good luck to you Gary v.com attention and don't forget the Instagram dming and the LinkedIn messaging and if you all go look at my latest Instagram post where I yell at the guy call him a dick I was pissed I called this fine gentleman who

[12:26] pissed I called this fine gentleman who was a lovely guy I called him a dick was a lovely guy I called him a dick let's just play

[12:43] investors and I'm like email people on LinkedIn and he goes they don't respond this guy's talking about wanting to live his dream his dream life 20 [ __ ] five

[12:59] want people to give you money and you've given up after messaging 25 people McKenzie what do you got we got Ron Ron I'm 30 and I currently like my job get paid good money 200k a year great

[13:16] work life balance but I have an opportunity to start my own delivery business it would be much riskier take upfront money won't get to travel near nearly as much but it would allow me to develop people which I love to do how

[13:30] should I make this decision I hate that it's on text cuz I have a follow-up question which is does he does he feel that he stepped into this lucky job or does he feel he's talented enough and has a skill or

[13:45] relationships or whatever it is that he could get the job again I always think most people should take risks I think that we've confused people that risk is bad a lot of us have parents that tell us old adages like measure cut once or

[14:00] you know bird in the hand is better right all these messages Mark Lori the about this last night that's why I'm bringing it up like everything is like scares you to take risk I think he should take risk if it's easy for him to

[14:14] go back to such a Kush sitch and it might not be but if you're watching Ron that's where I would go with it all right real quick there's 54 of you on here so I want to give something away am I allowed to give this

[29:30] I've done very well in my career I am really struggling with my Instagram uh platform and growing my audience even though I've been doing it 15 years consistently and I'm just wondering do you recommend maybe spending on boosting

[29:43] content I know that it that stunts your organic no it doesn't stunt your organic but you're boosting for insecurity a piece of content that nobody liked right think about it you posted it

[29:56] organically don't forget let me show you something that will blow your something that will blow your mind watch this this is my new Tik Tok start replying to people randomly I have 384 followers look how many views this

[30:11] 384 followers look how many views this post got 32,000 right now watch this now post got 32,000 right now watch this now I'm go to my regular account 15 million followers right look at my latest posts there less less views on my latest

[30:26] post 15 million less followers it's all about the content now so what I would recommend you do is not boost content algorithm that nobody's that interested in I would challenge you to start mixing

[30:40] up your content and going on a complete detox and completely going left field make a cooking video be more vulnerable than you've ever been change up your [ __ ] content try like like sit down and make 10 totally different pieces of

[30:55] content that you have not in the past that's like different style different topics [ __ ] you've never talked about maybe with other random people maybe I mean one of my most viral posts was me talking about me liking

[31:12] okay I think you need to mix up your content if you're stuck people when they're stuck need a creative reboost of trying different [ __ ] not boosting content that's not doing well I I I feel like my content is is

[31:28] audience my audience I'm always losing as many followers as I am gaining oh good news followers mean nothing okay followers mean nothing I followers is not even going to be shown publicly

[31:42] publicly soon it means nothing I I'm not growing everything's coming up in your feed I don't follow anyone when I see good content I just like it so I see their content again I stopped growing

[31:56] too okay I'll try not to focus on that then thank you so much Gary by the way I love I love you for what you just did people are stuck in high school don't worry about how many friends you have you're focusing on the wrong

[32:12] metric I'm so glad to hear that because I feel like I'm doing well I'm getting the recognition but I'm just so frustrated that I've been at the same number for years and I just don't get that i' been I've been at the same

[32:24] number for years too following culture is dying everybody's just getting their [ __ ] in the feed and like my whole young crew is like shaking their head right now like they all know they're like occasionally you'll follow but like it's

[40:41] companies aren't hiring people in their 40s uh because I think you're deciding to look at negatives people are hiring we hired nine people in the last three weeks and they're 40s unlimited companies are hiring people in their 40s

[40:55] I believe that Maddie again is a what I'm seeing in the universe is people are choosing negativity to feel better McKenzie do you believe that companies are not hiring people in their 40s no okay so what kind of question are

[41:09] we have you know we you know we do have a pirate Alex and V friends it's called the poker pirate there was access tokens in series one it's a very rare character people are hiring in their 40s but if you decide people are not hiring in

[41:22] their 40s you're going to sit in your house and be like I'm getting [ __ ] by aism gen Z and AI are taking all the jobs unlimited companies are hiring hiring you and maybe you need to look at

[41:35] you and maybe you need to look at that who's up are you hey Gary how's it going things are

[41:49] going incredibly well where you from Sweden Sweden Sweden amazing it's a pleasure to see you [ __ ] I can't believe I'm speaking to you my god I've been following you for so many years and I'm speaking to you now it's crazy it's a

[42:04] speaking to you now it's crazy it's a pleasure my my heart is pounding very oh [ __ ] it's a pleasure brother what's your question so my question is this only because of you I started making content on Tik Tok 4 years ago about perfumes in

[42:18] general it and I was growing really fast became the biggest perfume influencer in Sweden in just one two years amazing and last year I started my own brand and expecting kind of people to buy just because of me but what happened no one

[42:33] because of me but what happened no one really bought I underestimated the hard work of building a brand and now I can't got hit by that reality check and now got hit by that reality check and now I'm starting to kind of figure out what

[42:45] I should do from here and I've read your book of course fully in line with building you know a brand for making organic content but I'm a little bit stuck now feeling like what should I do what content should we make I'm fully

[43:00] like we should do everything but I'm just like lost what should we do how many how many how many Tik Tok followers do you have uh 77,000 on my private account not on a company or on the brand account um and how often are

[43:16] you going live almost never I think you need what live almost never I think you need what happened in your transition was you I love that you said you underestimated I think a lot of people

[43:29] take the audience for granted you you know and do you have a do you have any insight to why people didn't buy it is the question I would tell you that I would go live if I were you for three hours a day for the next month and just

[43:45] talk to people I'm looking at it right now like GG Allen I'm on on Tik Tok as well obviously everybody get over to uh to uh whatnot over here Gary v.com and you could talk to Kaden you'd be like kayen why did you not buy the

[44:00] like kayen why did you not buy the fragrance Karissa um uh Karissa I'm on gary.com whatnot I also don't see him live on whatnot if they go to gary.com whatnot it's because they're going they're probably searching your nameus

[44:14] ah yeah don't search my name on whatnot when you go there search V friends but my friend you could just talk to them on live and ask them why they didn't buy the fragrance some will tell you they didn't know about it some will tell you

[44:28] that they didn't like the the description of the scent but I think you need to spend a lot more time interacting deeper with your audience because what what happened was it wasn't as deep as you thought

[44:44] because they didn't feel like buying it just to support you and you need to build a deeper connection and I and I believe the biggest way that you can build a connection is live not content

[44:58] live okay on my private account that is on your private account I would literally hang up right now and go live for an hour and see what happens and focus group like you're just hanging out with your potential

[45:11] customers okay I think one reason why I didn't do it is two years ago when Tik Tok was on the boom I feel like whenever I went live I had maybe 100 people in there but nowadays when I tried going live it's like 10 15 people in there so

[45:25] I maybe it's an ego thing too where like of course it's an ego here of course and the longer you stay on more people show up and by the way 10 to 15's a

[45:39] and when I went when I went on you stream for hours back in 2007 and 8 and stream for hours back in 2007 and 8 and N there was 13 people there 40 people

[45:53] envious of what you don't have got it why content other side too correct talk to them an hour to three hours a day for the next 30 days will life okay all right good luck thank you so much I appreciate you thank you so

[46:07] right actually I'm goingon to read the chat a little bit here on whatnot everybody on uh twitch YouTube Joshua Ford I see you on YouTube uh Avis concept I see you on Instagram John Luca I see you on Tik Tok all of you please

[46:21] I see you on Tik Tok all of you please get over to Gary b.com whatnot all right these are going fast uh excited for the series one where when is risk too much

[46:33] risk when if you fail it disproportionately destroys the people around you other than that it's not too much risk you know notice the theme the

[46:45] lady in Dubai cared about followers this gentleman in Sweden cared about how many people showed up to the live right people are worried about vanity

[47:00] metrics much more than the depth of the whole thing right and so you know to me I I just think that people need a perspective Shi you know risk I think is

[47:12] perspective Shi you know risk I think is practical but if you like if you're if you're if you lose your home and your children have to you know live in a different part of town like when you're affecting others but if it's just you

[47:26] it's never too risky cuz you're going after your dream you know you're going after your dream all right let's go to next one yes garage sales are still in play in fact I think whatnot for all of you right now actually I have a fun game

[47:39] for the 715 of you are on here as soon as this is over create your whatnot account and go live on whatnot and try to sell something this Saturday out of your house something random like a pillow like literally garage sailing on

[47:56] whatnot I think is going to be a monster just try it see what happens see what happens all right let's keep it
