#AskGaryVee Episode 123: How Creatives Can Start Thinking Like an Entrepreneur

Our reading notes on Gary Vaynerchuk

• How to Start Creating Content

  Vaynerchuk discusses taking part in smaller shows and collaborating with other creators as ways to begin publishing. A guest appearance can supply a useful exchange that neither participant has to invent alone. Republishing any of it still depends on permission and enough context to preserve the guest’s meaning.

• Why You Need to Forget Your “Mistakes” and Focus on Your Next Thing

  The episode listing describes Vaynerchuk’s conversation with CRWD founder Ryan Chen about paying people to try products, visit a store and give feedback. For someone planning a sampling day, that raises two separate questions. Did someone take the free sample, and did the experience give them a reason to look for the product again?

• The Real Reason Why You're Not Winning on Social Media

  Vaynerchuk’s episode notes connect two jobs a livestream can do. During a shopping session a host can respond to a question as it arrives. Later, the answer can reach someone who missed the session. The edit needs to restore the product, the question and any qualification that viewers saw earlier in the stream.
