Gary I see you were CRUSHING it here... A YEAR AGO! Damn! Do you still live in that same place? The camera is different and the background I haven't seen in any other of your videos.

I'm SO THERE! Keep putting it out! PASSIONATELY! I've been doing it since the 1st day I heard you and IT IS WORKING FOR ME!

When I write a book you will write the foreword, brother! I freaking love you to death!

Personal brand question.. If I already have a following that I'm developing, but the brand name doesn't describe it.. ASKJDOG (for example providing dating and lifestyle advice for men) prior to ramping things up with mass video distribution, would it be better to rebrand to a name that instantly tells people what your videos are about.. THEDATEDOC.TV (just an example.)

Granted if you have an established brand, the name can be non-descriptive, but for brand building doesn't it help. I know this has been discussed in the tech community (techcrunch, and mashable articles,) but I'm thinking for people’s personal branded services it makes sense. Is there any point for a small time guy to go through the hassle of re-branding? Or is it a waste of time, because once your social media is out there more your non-descriptive brand will be associated automatically? What do you think? Thnx.

Gary,

Dude you could be speaking more my language. Guy I am coming out with a show soon and i would love to run it by you because honestly its scary how much with think alike...

And that couldn't make me happier because bro you are so ahead of the pack its not even funny. These other douchbags are still pushing to "Be an EXPERT" and to "Sell Info Products" which steers everyone down a path of Overwhelment (yeah I just made that shit up), non-stop training which requires spending $1000's and 1000's of hours (which is what "they" want) and I was one of the followers.

Until I realized that I wasn't doing what I loved. But dude I sincerely would love to "chat it up" because I come from the IM (internet marketers space) and my system is right in line with what you say but also shows the many ways to monetize.

And you can fully expect to get a link to this blog in every single post, article, video I release because no one says it better than you bro.

I bet your ass can't wait for another year or two to pass by so you can be known as the guy that was so ahead of the game "predicting the future" and yelling it as loud as possible so anyone with a ounce of motivation could take it and run right to the top.

Dude your sick and I am your #1 Marketing Follower.

I know this is a little older but sometimes we, in the tech community, don't realize how far ahead we are when it comes to producing content.

Most people, those sportcenter nuts, babysitters, sushi chefs, don't have the first idea when it comes to production...and it's too overwhelming.

Sure, they may start something but they soon realize that it's not quite up to par, they realize that it takes a sh*t-ton of work and they usually quit.

It takes a special breed of person to do it consistently, and the bar has already been set high.

We am I, We are we?
Right here: From the Couch

As soon as we (David and Marc Perel) saw your videos we took a giant leap onto the band wagon.

How has it gone so far for us? Well it has been 7 days since the launch and our stats read 2500 visits and 3000 page views.

So to me it only confirms that there is market for this type of branding and there is a huge, gaping hole in the video blogging sphere.

What is everyone waiting for?

Great post. I Think this is a very good point. Do you have suggestions about where to start? Set up an account on YouTube, Ustream.TV? Also, what article was that in USA Today. I was wanting to get an archive for some of the research I have been doing for school. Great video!

Thank you for your very inspiring words!

I have a couple of questions: initially, what is the very best way to spread the word about a NEW show besides just bombarding friends, clients and associates with links? Also, we noticed that you are "powered by Viddler" in your opinion what are the advantages of Viddler over other hosting sites?

Warm wishes to you,

Who has time to watch all these videos? I use Google Reader to scan over 150 blogs a day, between work and personal. If there is content that is only delivered in video format, I skip over it. I don't have 10 minutes to dedicate to hear/see what I could have read in 30 seconds. The only exception is when a video is personally recommended to me by a friend.

Am I that different than the rest?

I will try to do this in five sentences. (Minus the parenthesis.)

I am a perspiring stand up comic. I started in Pro-wrestling, trained under Dory Funk Jr. (OK, that was for wrestling and I loved it, barring the pain that has followed, but I would do it again.)

Although I can write comedy, it falls under many styles that I have witnessed. (Which is actually fine as I would be thrilled to just be a writer, as I have done on radio.)

I have come upon a podcast opportunity with popular NYC comics and national guys, (Nick Dipaolo), That I pitched to Rev 3. (Turned down by Sarah Lane)

I know you can do nothing about this, but can you give advice, as I saw you on the live "Internet Superstar" and you have the best delivery of the show. (Ok, this is more than five sentences.) My idea was to film NYC comics at the comics table. (The comics table the most fun as I had at clubs, just hanging with them.) I can give a sample of that locally, and DiPaolo has green lighted me to do it with him.

How can I sweeten' the deal as well as get the Rev3's attention to distribute. Anything you have, I am sure, can help me.

Gary,
I had seen Wine Library before (with a 10 year old Imac) and the speed of my video made your show almost painful to watch. I recently had to upgrade my hardware (new Mac) and today I had an epiphany. I have seen the new face of wine in the 21st century and his name is not Robert Parker.
I believe you are doing more single handedly to take the snob out of wine and to promote fine wine than anyone I have seen (or heard of). Wine is to be shared with friends and great wine shared with friends that might appreciate what is being poured-A big fat tip of the hat to you.
Salute'
Norm

Gary, why is it we could see before your tasting at Crush Pad began. Then when it was over, we could see and hear you off to the side talking with guests. But while the tasting was going on, about 30 of us were in Revision3 #7 and we could only chat with each other in the DARK. What happened? We want wristbands. Love ya!
