#Timestamps:
0:00 Intro
00:37 - It seems like Instagram is great for jabs, not for right hooks. How and should I make right hooks on instagram or is it a bad idea all together?
02:52 - What are your thoughts on using kickstarted to start a business?
04:18 - Is there a thing as too much jabbing? or should you hold a little back to seem mysterious?

Why My Advice Might Not Work For You - https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/business-advice-might-not-work-657352060.html
Look the bottom line is that Ello raised venture capital. The investors are looking for a return on their investment, so they're going to have to figure out a business model. So the question becomes, if they're not going to sell your info to advertisers, are they going to charge a fee to use the service? Now look they may come up with something totally new and innovative, and God bless Ello if they do. I'm rooting for everybody all the time.
My big thing is that **people don't care if you're selling their data**. We actually want targeted ads. When I'm in the market for another pair of Nikes, I WANT to see ads for them. Now there are those of you who disagree, but the data shows it. We'll take them when they go from ads to content.
So here's the thing:
1. I think the way Ello is financially structured has vulnerabilities.
2. This has happened before with things like Diaspora. It didn't work.
3. I'm not in love with the actual product, but I'm glad they're moving and innovating.
I'm not Nostradamus. I like to make my call when I actually see something happening, and so I think it's too early to say that, but my intuition says they're going to eventually charge, which is going to turn a lot of users off.

    $4 an episode might be hard to push but if you added the right guest I think it would make it attractive.

    The show was damn good where is ello now?

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars brady nields says:

    I would pay for the episodes if the payments were streaming via Coil 😉

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Angus Coote says:

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Falrmer says:

    You were right again

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dev Shah says:

    I wouldn't

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Derek Day says:

    Awesome getting detailed in your answers, sounds like actually sitting down and making a “gut” call with others around you…could help. Thanks for your videos and answers. 🤘🏻

    Wouldn't pay 4USD per episode, cuz the advice might be good, but is often unrelated to me. However, sifting thru all of your content day after day, morning coffee after morning coffee, every now and then I get a great insight. So yeah, Jab Jab Jab Jab, and this is really great, cuz generally speaking I already or can't use most advice out there. I would however go for a subscription model fee.
    I would also buy your books, if I get enough time to read. Cuz I'm really busy. If possible I try to read french now, cuz I have a new business in that language going on now, but I would worry that I might lose too much authentic gary in translation so… However, If I ever grow my business to a level where I need advertising… I will take a plane and walk into Vaynermedia to check it out. You're on my list Gary!!
    To answer the question btw, it's you, I don't have time for more than you right now. but I do need to keep learning so thy! And alternatively if I'm done with you, feeling I've got most of your thing incorporated, I might try Grant Cardone, or Tai Lopez.

    I would pay $10 a month for access to your channel but now that I already know you! after a lot of videos xD so at least you will need a 1 free month xD

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Luke says:

    Only just catching up on all of your shooooows and this is another great one. Depth/detail is awesome. I'd personally pay $4 an episode… easily worth 10 X in value and something actionable everyone could do for their businesses.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars GaliciaArt says:

    no i aint paying for this

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Will Jaimet says:

    Watching all of these from start to finish. $4 an episode would be one of the greatest deals in America.

    Your arms look bigger tho.
