– [Steve] Chase asks “On an average day, “how many impressions do your tweets get?” – Chase. – [Steve] Oh I was gonna say– – Chase, stick there Steve. Chase, this man has done the work, give him the credit. Give him the air time. Steve. What is, what is the answer? – So, his 28-day average is
240,000 impressions per day and that’s 6.7 million
over the last 28 days. – There you go, that is the answer. And let’s give you a better answer to everybody overall because
I’m not sure what that means or if we care, the more
important question is “How many of those impressions cared?” What I can tell you is in 2011
when I had 100,000 followers on Twitter, I was getting more engagement, more interaction, selling more books, getting more people to watch
my videos because of it. This speaks to the thing that I most care about in the world. The supply and demand of attention. Nothing else matters. Going to platforms early on when there’s early tribes there and they’re paying more attention, that is to me the upside of
jumping into Snapchat early. The upside of jumping into
new platforms like Vine early. You look at the first people
that over indexed it on Vine, they are massively
internet famous right now on YouTube and Snapchat and Instagram and other places along with Vine. The ones that are popping now on Vine are not getting to that same level. So, the impressions,
the reach, it matters, but the depth is what matters the most and more importantly, the
attention of that consumer on that platform. When something’s new,
it’s a little more sticky. When a new song comes out, you listen to it a bunch of times and then it gets into rotation. Twitter right now is in rotation in a social media world versus where it was
four or five years ago. So though my top line followers are more, it’s my depth that I worry about and that is a thesis and a strategy that all of you need to
figure out across the board. – [Steve] Robert asks “Back
in the old school days

– [Voiceover] Darren asks,
“If you could only market on one social platform,
which would it be and why?” – Darren, I picked this
question because I’m pissed off and I’m pissed off at
people asking this question over and over again. I’m pounding my fist on
the floor, or the table. Over and over, this is a non debate. It is Facebook, my friends, Facebook data. Data, data, data, data. Let me say it again, as
somebody who doesn’t love data. Who’s more EQ than IQ. The overwhelming accuracy
of who you are targeting and the products that they have created to target those people,
including in stream, not the right side of a website. So I’m over here, I
like how you’re staying- Go back there, DRock. Not the right side of a website, but right down the pipe. In the feed, targeted properly, and if you’re a good enough marketer, and you’re putting out
content people care about, not an ad, and we all see ads. No. A piece of content. And I know people are tired
of the word content, great. Call it stuff, I don’t give a crap. Just something people
care about in there when, you know Steve, show Steve. You know Steve likes Reddit. You know Steve likes- Back. You know Steve likes wine. You know, you know he likes these things. What else do you like, Steve? – Cheese, video games. – [Gary] Great, what else, Steve? – Beer. I love beer. – So, you know, give this
man things of those nuances. If you’re a toilet paper or
a toothbrush or a toy company or a, you know, what is this? This is a phone, you
know, technology company. Like give this man what
he wants around the genres he cares about. Facebook is, by far, dark posts. That’s a terminology. Unpublished posts, the best
platform to be selling things, doing business, getting
money for your charities, building awareness about your cause. Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook.

“to determine if what you’re
creating is valuable?” – Michael, for me this is a
really interesting question. It depends, are you talking about, is the content that you’re
putting up valuable, because I talk a lot about that, and you know, that is,
you know, what I use on that criteria is
actually engagment numbers, I mean just raw numbers,
how many people are sharing? How many people are leaving comments? You know, how many people
are watching the video, like that’s a very important, very basic engagement number that helps. But that’s one baseline number. The way I really do it, like overall is how
many people are buying? How many books did I sell, because I provided so many global jabs that you on the other side of this camera felt like you needed to buy it? How many great pieces of content or best buying ability,
or pricing that I put out for the wine that I
sold during Wine Library that made people buy thousands of cases? How good have I built this company that the Fortune 500 companies and the companies that
could afford hiring us, and how often are they hiring
us when we’re pitching? At the end of one day, the way I judge it is by the results that I’m looking for, whether it’s to sell some consulting, whether it’s to sell some books, I know it’s a football, whether it’s to get
people to watch and share. You know how happy it would make me to see every single person
what watched this video share this video? (bell dings) You know, I meant that’s
an important thing to me. Anyway, I didn’t do the
subscribe button last episode,

you learned as a result
of taking an interest in someone else’s passion, hobby, or job? – Erick, this is a really
interesting question. I’m tryin’ to figure this out. You know, one that’s
emerging, a little bit, believe it or not, but I’m
not gonna accept it, is golf. A.J. has fallen in love with golf, my bro. And, you know, I don’t know
if I’m picking up a skill, but I guess I am a little
bit, I’m out there. I’ve been thinking, should I get into it? I just can’t commit to the five hours that it takes to play, and so, I’m scared. People get addicted with golf, so, that would’ve been the
answer, but I’ve been luckily able to hold off that
insanity of the golf drug. I would probably say, and
this is a weird answer, I’d probably say respecting data. You know, I think that
I believe in targeting, and big data, and all
this new digital stuff because Eric Caster and John Casmanus when they started
VaynerMedia as developers, showed me the other side of marketing, which was retargeting, and CRMs, and all these things, and so, that was probably the last skill that I remember really picking up. Yeah, I would say respecting data. – [Voiceover] John asks,
