Marketing is like fitness: you have to work for growth!

Our reading notes on Gary Vaynerchuk

• The #1 Secret to B2B Growth on LinkedIn

  With Poppi co-founder Allison Ellsworth, Vaynerchuk questions the use of a post’s potential audience as a result. He pairs distribution on LinkedIn and TikTok with the work of replying to comments. A reply can reveal who saw the post and why it interested them, two things a follower total cannot tell an editor.

• 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.
