Gary Vaynerchuk grew up the son of a liquor store owner. He had a chance to learn a few things about what makes a wine great before he was even allowed to drink his first glass. Gary’s business is offering deep discounts and free shipping on some of the wines he discusses, making him a distributor.

He took his passion for the grapes and began a daily blog called WineLibraryTV.com, where he does a daily vlog. Topics range from reviews, to tips on choosing the best wines, to interviews with growers and vintners from around the world.

In five years, through YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social media, Gary took his business from $5 million to $45 million annually.

Gary Vaynerchuk loves wine, loves what he does, and will make the viewers of WineLibraryTV.com love it all right along with him. His excitement comes through in every video.

By engaging people on a social level, building trust in his name and his brand, and making the previously elite world of good wine accessible to the everyman, Gary has turned his liquor business into a money-making machine.

Watch Gary live in Omaha, and feel his love for his subject come through.

Within 24 hours the video of President George Bush dodging a reporter’s shoes at a news conference in Bagdad on Saturday was viewed over 4.4 million times. Want to see how it compares to the viewing of Obama’s acceptance speech? Click here.

 

 

Presidents have done a lot of stupid things over the years (i.e. Clinton’s Monica Lewinsky, Nixon’s Watergate, JFK’s Bay of Pigs, etc.). NEVER has there been a time, however, where leaders are so transparent. Millions of people around the world are watching Bush almost get nailed with a reporter’s shoes like it’s America’s Funniest Home videos. In the past, this would have been covered up, underplayed or at least only available on news stations. Now ordinary people and bloggers (like me) are distributing it all over the internet. Within those first 24 hours, the video was placed over 600 times… meaning over 600 people put it on their blogs, facebook, and websites.

 

Now that’s a viral video!
