"I started a TikTok account called You're Somebody Now as the name of the handle, @yoursomebodynow. The first post I posted on that account with zero followers was a slight edit on the video that did well for me... That video with zero followers got 8.2 million organic views."

"Every mom and pop trinket, candle store and watch store and shoe store on Earth should be on TikTok Shop tomorrow. I really believe that. I do not see why you wouldn't — you get free customers from the FYP. Live shopping on TikTok specifically — what TikTok does is give you random audience. That's a big deal."
What GaryVee warns against
Things GaryVee says to avoid or be careful with. Other experts don't always agree.
"Google AdWords as we sit right now is in the same place that the yellow pages were in 2001. You might still be getting business from it, but it is declining rapidly."
"This thing, it's going to be looked upon like an eight track very, very shortly. RIM, the company that brings us the BlackBerry, I'm predicting that they are going to be on the verge of bankruptcy or maybe even sold."
"If you complain about not having money and you're taking Uber four times a day, you're fucked up."

- TikTok Live Recommends it 2 episodes "TikTok is the only platform when you go live that gives you a bunch of new people to know who you are. Every mom and pop trinket, candle store and watch store and shoe store on Earth should be on TikTok shop tomorrow. I really believe that. I do not see why you wouldn't — you get free customers from the FYP." Only GaryVee
- Snapchat Spotlight Recommends it 2 episodes "I believe that Spotlight is the most underrated opportunity for people. I view Snapchat Spotlight as Instagram and TikTok's equal. I don't know of anyone who talks about it besides me. I think that's the biggest opportunity in marketing." Only GaryVee
- Google Ads Uses it 2 episodes "I built my dad's liquor store from 3 to 65 million in revenue on email and Google Adwords. The day Google Adwords came out, I bought every wine term you could ever imagine." +9 others

- Jab, Jab, Right Hook content strategy Recommends it "If every single post you have is a right hook, the audience starts getting used to it and they're able to duck. If you do not put out the jab content or the faint content to set it up, you will lose... the jab content is basically information for free with the hopes that it helps." Only GaryVee
- Perplexity Uses it "I've not done Google search in the way that we all grew up in literally almost the entire year. It is either ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini. It's over, friends." +18 others
- Post organically first, then run ads on winners Recommends it "You should always post every piece of content you make for a sale or an ad organically first. If it does well in views compared to your norm, that's what you start running media on. Many of you are wasting a lot of money on social because the creative isn't something that will convert well. You can now mitigate that risk by posting it organically." Only GaryVee
- Meta Ads Recommends it "I know a lot of small businesses listen. So, let me give it to you very straight: disproportionately, the biggest opportunity to grow your business, traffic to your business, average receipt size, if you're a local business that people come to, is to run 10-mile-radius Facebook ads." +17 others
- 1585 Method Recommends it "I call it 1585. Everything I'm involved in at this point in my career, I want my team to involve me in the first 15% because I need to ideate and make it better, contribute my strategic and intuition feeling. I then let them go and completely own the next 80%, and then I come in at the last 5% and put a cherry on top. It really works for me. In fact, it's freaking me out that AI is playing out that way — being good at the upfront prompt, letting it roll, and then editing." Only GaryVee
- Grok Uses it "Now with Claude and ChatGPT and Gemini and Grok, my research — I mean I can't even comprehend how much I've learned in the last year about building an intellectual property that would have taken me 800 hours that took me eight." +33 others
- eBay Uses it "I'm literally going to fucking flea markets and garage sales and the Goodwill and buying shit for fucking two bucks and selling it on eBay for seven." +6 others
- Bitcoin Uses it "I'm comfortable to say out loud, I'm buying Bitcoin left and right the last 48 hours because I'm cost averaging out." +16 others
- Store Is Studio Recommends it "I believe the best studio in the world is the world. I tell my clients, which are mainly Fortune 500 companies, I'm like, 'Look, let's make content at stores, in parking lots, at festivals.' ... Store is studio is something that I've really championed more privately than publicly." Only GaryVee
- Snapchat Recommends it "I natively have to take this creative that just did well and make it performance. Understanding the current slang of the moment within Snap of what's working to add the element of how I'm going to communicate free shipping or buy three get one free — if you do that with proper slang, what font am I using, what filter am I using — is incredibly important, and that's how I would do it." +4 others
- beehiiv Recommends it "There's Beehiiv for B2B — it's become the platform I'm obsessed with." +2 others
- YouTube Shorts Recommends it "Everybody here that is not posting the same content they're posting on Instagram or TikTok onto YouTube Shorts that's not doing that must leave today and change that forever. It is a defense mechanism from disappearing." Only GaryVee
- District Recommends it "There's an incredible app that you should all look into called District. It's like the Shopify of live shopping." Only GaryVee
- eBay Live Recommends it "If you're an influencer on earth and you're not paying attention to TikTok shop, TikTok affiliate, Whatnot, eBay Live. I can't believe how big of an opportunity this is." Only GaryVee
