YouTube Influencer GaryVee on Marketing

YouTube Influencer GaryVee on Marketing – 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 investment fund.

Vaynerchuk’s rise to fame all began with a 20-minute daily YouTube show that he started in early 2006, roughly a year after YouTube was founded. The show was called Wine Library TV, and it gave Vaynerchuk a wide platform to share wine reviews and indirectly promote WineLibrary.com.

Over time Vaynerchuk’s YouTube following grew, and he was eventually asked to appear on The Conan Show in 2008. Of course this appearance had a snowball effect, as other well known television shows and publications subsequently produced features on Vaynerchuk and his use of social media to indirectly grow his business and his brand. He later became a very active Twitter user. There he built an audience of more than 1.3 million people.

Gary still produces daily vlog videos on YouTube only these days its with assistance from his team. Videographers, social media specialists, and graphic designers help amplify Vaynerchuk’s brand on all of his social media platforms.

Gary has fine-tuned a content creating machine. His daily vlogs show him in real-life settings such as client meetings, employee interactions, press events, and doling out financial advice. A few example YouTube videos include “My 5 Biggest Failures in Business” and “How to Find Your Path to Happiness.”

Vaynerchuk prides himself on having the privilege of being transparent and sharing his struggles and successes honestly and candidly. As of January 2019, Gary has 1,899,943 subscribers on YouTube.
