<p>Gary gives us a sneak peek into his latest masterpiece, "Day Trading Attention: How to Actually Build Brand and Sales in the New Social Media World.” Gary’s new book is the textbook you wish you had when starting your marketing and branding journey. Think charts, real-life examples, advice, market research, case studies, tips, and more–all while NOT putting you to sleep. Sound too good to be true? Ryan has read it and can confirm–NO BS.</p><p>While discussing Gary’s latest book and why everyone should grab a copy, Gary stresses that the key is to not get too caught up in the future, or too stuck in the past. The here and NOW is free social media. We’re in the Golden Era, baby. While it’s the most freely available, most effective way to reach your audience right NOW, it’s imperative to take advantage of it to achieve the success you desire for your brand.</p><p>Adapting to marketing trends like TikTok and other social media platforms (No, TikTok isn’t just for teenage girls who like to dance) is the key to grabbing attention in the new social media world. Your strategy should then be to turn that attention into intent. Take the BS out of business by turning BUZZ into BITE.</p><p>Don’t look back in 10 years and wish you would’ve taken advantage of the massive opportunities social media provides right now. </p><p>Additional discussions include the significance of building relationships, teamwork, authenticity, leading with empathy, and the influence of AI in the future of marketing.</p><p>Gary also shares some practical and profound parenting advice about fostering self-esteem in the digital age (No 8th place trophies here. Just real reinforcement and nurturing).</p><p>Huge thanks to Gary Vee for coming on the show and dropping these knowledge bombs for us!</p><p>What did you think of this episode? DM me on @rightaboutnowshow or @ryanalford on Instagram. I’d love to hear your thoughts!</p><p>Pre-order Gary’s new book on Amazon! “Day Trading Attention” releases on May 21, 2024.
