Gary, how'd you get so smart???? heheeee -- really top notch. I love how you have a way of bringing things right home. Truly, all those things you mentioned that were the norm... even a few years ago, is totally amazing.

"Every business is going to go into the content game... and should." Incredible nugget - I'm gonna quote you in my presos on this one too!!

Luv ya!

Not only was I able to come and I see you and say HI, I got to film with you. Not my highlight. I drank a glass of wine and got to listen to you talk, still not my highlight. The Ricki Lake reference that I was begging for finally made it into your talk. Thanks GV!!!

Great presentation, I'm always impressed by your ability to drive a point home. I agree that "Every business should be in the content business" With the glut of information available we are going to look for experts to listen to in every product/service/interest. The ones who produce content that speaks o us will get our business.

Yeah, it's really interesting the way culture shifts over time. As kids, we used save our coke bottles so we could peg them at signs driving down the highway at a 100km (they were either glass or cans back then), that was our fun. There used to be litter beside all the signs so I guess it wasn't just us. I'd be gob-smacked if I saw that today.

I'm sure we'll continually be blown away by how things change and become the 'accepted norm'.

Great vid

Gary, in Montreal you said, basically, screw SEO, analytics and affiliate marketing. Can you clarify a bit? A big part of my revenue is affiliate commissions (I have 3 revenue streams: my own product, ad revenue and affiliate commissions). I'm a one-woman show and I connect with my visitors any way I can, but, IMHO, website owners need to know what's going on with their site, too, no?

I create content for my visitors, first and foremost -- not for the search engines -- but knowing what my visitors are doing, where they're coming from and what they're doing on my site, can make it a better experience for them (which in turn generates more revenue). Maybe it's different from my side of things: although I have articles, the majority of visitors are coming to my site to use my weight loss tools. It's a different kind of "content."

He's right. Every business needs to be also a content business, no matter what it does.

'Travel Guy Question'
If your passion is about traveling and you only have 2 weeks a year then how do plan/do the best 2 week trip? Where do you go? How do you prepare with work? I would be interested in following that story, but then again Gary is the man and perhaps sticking local is better.

You know, I don't think I've ever thought about the effectiveness of outdoor advertising like bus stop ads, but that is very true. Everyone's on their smartphone these days. Strange to think that those marketing dollars are still being spent.

Thanks, Gary. I always like to hear your take on how things are changing.

A very toned down version of the talk we got to see in Toronto that's for sure. With this presentation though I was able to share it with a couple of friends of mine who are really having a hard time being recently out of school and feeling depressed about their work situation (the first parts at least, this video is really long).

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU Gary Veeeee! Had heard so many great things about you, but never really checked you out as I thought you were just about wine (and I'm not a wine drinker:) I realize now you are about SO much more. What an inspiration...thank you so much...I watched the whole thing. If/when you come to Vancouver...I'll be there for sure.
