Our reading notes on Gary Vaynerchuk

• How to Turn Views on Social Media into Customers for Your Business

  Vaynerchuk describes using organic video to identify promising creative, then pairing it with a clear offer when it reaches people again. A well-watched demonstration supplies a candidate for an ad. Whether people understood what was for sale remains a separate question that a customer conversation or a purchase can help answer.

• The Mid-Funnel is the Biggest Opportunity in Marketing

  Vaynerchuk discusses Wine Library with Jon Evans and connects relevance to the period between noticing a business and deciding to buy. Someone who knows a shop exists may still be unable to choose a bottle for dinner. Answering that middle question gives organic material a job beyond announcing an offer.

• An Unconventional Content Marketing Strategy: Getting 7M+ Views

  Vaynerchuk follows a substantial piece of content into shorter pieces distributed across different platforms. Community reactions supply material for subsequent decisions, including how to title a piece. The figure in the headline belongs to the author’s case, where an established audience and a production team were already in place.
