Gary Vaynerchuk #askgaryvee Book Promotion on Instagram

Gary Vaynerchuk #askgaryvee Book Promotion on Instagram as seen on Gary's Facebook wall.

It's interesting to see how Gary Vaynerchuk is using social media to promote his new book. He sent me a review copy and asked that I share on Instagram. I did that.

Thanks @garyvee for the #askgaryvee book. Looking forward to reading it.

I also shared the photo, from Instagram to Facebook. I linked to Gary, and he put my post on his Facebook page. That's cool.

I also saw him promoting his book on Snapchat. Over there he asked people to take a screenshot of a photo of him and his book that displayed the @askgaryvee hashtag, over on Instagram too. I shared that too.

Helping out @garyvee by sharing #askgaryveebook and this screenshot from snapchat.

I was too quick on the trigger though, and shared the photo just prior to the one Gary really wanted us to share.



That was ok because in the flood of images that got shared, mine stood out as different. ;-)

Instagram is the book promotion vehicle of 2016. It's getting a lot of traction, and the power of it is that you see every post from everyone that you follow.

Buy the book on Amazon.com:

Fox News Was Supporting Marco Rubio?

Fox News will allegedly no longer support Marco Rubio's candidacy following a loss of confidence in him by CEO Roger Ailes. According to inside sources, Ailes was apparently disappointed in Rubio's performance in the race thus far and was also upset to see news about a secret meeting between himself and the candidate in the New York Times. – NYMAG

Romney calls Trump Fraud in 2016, Praised Trump in 2012.

In a speech in Utah, Mitt Romney called Donald Trump "a fraud" making worthless promises. Romney has not yet endorsed a specific Republican candidate, but urged listeners to consider the "serious policy proposals" of Cruz, Rubio and Kasich. Four years ago, Trump endorsed Romney for president, at which time the candidate praised him for creating jobs. – NYT via INSIDE

34 Ways to Get The Most From a Conference by Andy Crestodina

Andy Crestodina does a great job of compiling 34 Ways to Get The Most From a Conference:
The difference between a good and bad event is partly up to you, the attendee. Two people can go to the same conference and have a completely different experience. Some people are just better at maximizing the value.

This is a guide to squeezing all the value you can out of your next conference. The tips here are based on our experience attending 100+ conferences, trade shows, expos and networking events over the last 15 years.
Plus, I'm in it!

[Video] “The Art of the Deal” starring Johnny Depp as Donald Trump.

Funny or Die released an hour-long film version of “The Art of the Deal” starring Johnny Depp as Donald Trump. 

The film - shot and edited in secrecy - was directed by Adam McKay of “Anchorman” and “The Big Short,” and also stars Ron Howard, Michaela Watkins, Alfred Molina, Patton Oswalt and Kristen Schaal and is shot to look as if it was made in the 1980s. – FOD

The Death of Juicing via @inside

Super Bowl ads, New Hampshire updates and MORE are in today’s #InsideDailyBrief. Get the latest news here! http://bit.ly/20k6ENT

This was my favorite item:

Amanda Chantal Bacon founded the Los Angeles boutique juicery Moon Juice, which serves “cold-pressed, 100% organic juice and nut milk” in two locations around the city.
 
Bacon described for Elle.com her daily food routine and it’s intensely obscure, full of odd, unrecognizable ingredients. Things like silver needle and calendula tea, reishi, ho shou wu and activated cashews.
 
Here’s some of our favorite responses from around the Web:
 
Jarrett Sleeper added up the cost of Amanda’s grocery trip to buy all of her foodstuffs and it comes to over $1,200. The Frisky did the math and figured it at about $710 a day.
 
Julieanne Smolinski posted this note-perfect parody on Medium. Sample: “Dinner was a bouquet of tulips with my husband. We flash-boiled those in a marble cylinder full of rose quartz schmaltz and iron filings salvaged from the deck of the sunken French battleship Richelieu."
 
The Everywhereist attempted to recreate Bacon’s typical menu with the food she already had in her house.
 
New York Magazine said the article marks the “death of juicing."
 
Racked LA, however, jumped to Bacon’s defense, accusing the rest of the Web of “health-shaming” her.
