[@khaliljibran999]

Same

[@samsmusichub]

It's FOUR years later. "If you're not putting out stories, you basically don't exist". Damn. This is STILL relevant in 2017.

[@Mohlaoua]

Even it is STILL relevant in 2018!

[@ryannira]

@@Mohlaoua and still in 2019

[@najashafiq]

And still is in 2021.

[@seanthepharmacist]

And 2022, damn Gary.

[@samsmusichub]

@@seanthepharmacist Yes!

[@PrinceKoopa]

If only more of us listened to Gary in 2013. He was totally right about the future of media!

[@zeyer7206]

This man is lightyears ahead of his time...

[@RobertoBlake]

Thinking of myself as a media company and leveraging my content and being a voice in my industry changed the game for me and the way I run my Design Studio. I don't compete with other designers, I educate them, inspire them and set standards. Clients see my leadership and communication skills and personality and want to work with me. Now I'm Retweeted by top brands in my field like Adobe and Wacom. Creating value for others demonstrates and scales the value you have. True story.

[@MichaelMichuki]

Thanks Gary :) my gutt has been telling to do that :P then i stumble on this & guy kawasakis book on why Google+ is the next big thing and Neli patel's prediction on how people will work on building their personal brands :) and everything is coming together. thanks for the rant

[@WavyCrocket]

+Roberto Blake I hope to grow to this level soon. although im seeing this video super late it still did what it needed to do; forever thankful

[@BlessedVetCam]

8years later still correct!! More than ever!!

[@tdsimpson]

It's 4 years later. He's correct.

[@moses_njoku]

It's 4 years later...he was very correct 😅

[@BridgetWillard]

I love how you put out short videos with tweetable quotes. "The cost is content."

[@ketanranka4628]

I saw this Video 8 years ago. I somehow stumbled back on this today, excatly 8 years from the day it was released. I cannot belive I knew this then, I know this now, it's true, He was righ and still is. I should have acted then, but I'll act now! Better late than never! Love you Gary!

[@Definitive_Media22]

That Robert Parish/double zero reference though🏀🏀🏀🔥🔥🔥 Still rings true in 2022.

[@thegreatestgiftever]

Loved This! 0:53 "word-of-mouth, the pluming of society" 1:22 "the cost of entry to being relevant in our society today, is content...if you are not putting out stories...you basically don't exist." Much Love From Cape Town!!

[@SofusWenoee]

This is sooooo true! Love it!

[@EL2COLDTV]

2021 your a guru now.

[@jinaallen]

Exactly what I needed to hear! Awesome as always, Gary.

I see them now, thx :D For the first time I was only hypnotized by Gary´s speech :D

[@MattMzansi]

Haaha he just hands out gems like this that make you think deeper.Gary is a definitely an inspirational guy. He's made me decide to push full on for my ambition . I'll send you a bottle of South Africa's finest the day I look back and realize you played a role in giving me that push.

[@Sims8705]

Another great video. Gary you are the truth and the real deal. Continue to hustle and provide great value to the #VaynerNation#

[@ValorConsulting1]

So important. Cannot be overemphasized, especially now.

[@DanielSaintival]

It's 2020. Gary STILL on the same grind!

[@LuisPeluffo]

Powerful rant indeed. Im a recent but huge follower of your advice.

[@AGentertainmentofficial]

You're right!

[@HotToolsja]

[@AGentertainmentofficial]

[@imjpmorgan]

Rant on Gary! Rant on!! Always great stuff.

[@LatinxNation]

Content is the new currency. I will Subscribe to your channel because you tell it how it is. 💯

[@DazzlEffect]

Gary, I would love to fly from New Zealand, bring my creativity and Macbook to you to work at one of those desks behind you! :) Thank you for sharing your tips once again.

[@Dean_TV]

[@EmileJarreau]

Nice piece G-Man!

[@GR_BackingTracks]

"Have a strategic strategy" - Pro Tip

[@armandoarteaga1329]

Damn Gary, spitting truth even in 2013! Wonder how much you love hearing that you're right? I'm guessing it's none because the ROI for you is greater than just relishing in that moment for too long.

[@MarkRosenbauer]

Yup!

[@bon1bon]

Came across your NY Times article wow wow wow A brother after my own heart!!! Iam Plugged in!!!!

[@entrethedragon61]

It’s about to be 2020, and this is literally what he’s saying today harder than back then.

[@RoySimmons]

I am going to take on art book publishers. I have started. Stated here first. Thanks Gary.

[@Jacksonator]

Strategic strategy - hahah - nice...Actually bringing value to the world is what makes a person happy isn't it? It's just the way it is. And actually putting content has nothing to do with money but with you helping others. It's just what makes sense in life darn it!!!

[@rashaalseleni6353]

I really like this lol

[@miriamhavard7621]

Seriously TOP DRAWER!!!! In 2018!

[@jaderullrich]

Knew about you today, watched some videos and you're a fucking genius. I lost too much time dude. Continue with the videos and come to Brasil (dont't bring wine, it's too hot here)

[@ScrapyardMartialArts]

Better content than the rest. More content than the rest.

[@WangleMedia]

This classic manifesto is so under-viewed it's ridiculous!

[@mouadnv9091]

Gary future reader, and it's obvious because of his experiences

[@BaazarStudios]

2021, this is gospel.

[@bobhughes7574]

Didn't hear what you said starting at 2:24 for a little bit :) but overall was great message.

[@jdefazioiv]

Hey Gary, your videos are the shit! Wanted to get your take on disruption in the finance industry by way of Ripple(XRP) or Bitcoin (BTC).

[@LucyMorningstarArt]

A little later than you, but I'm joining the game, Gary! My first art video, 2-minutes, showing how I painted this self portrait has gotten 900+ views in 2 months since I uploaded it in August. I'm making more!

[@ImWORTHITINC]

I AM NOT A "fan" (using air quotes) HAHA I STILL DO THAT! I consider us friends...cause fans gush and try to make themselves look good by using YOU! (the star) FRIENDS actually love each other...I KNOW YOU meant it when you said you love me at Shoe Palace G, cause YOU WORK SO HARD To help us be successful! WE LOVE YOU!! YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!

[@DazzlEffect]

Gary would say, the time is NOW!

[@MItchellZendaJohnson]

Here in 2019

[@MarkLynchNHRealtor]

Dead on!

[@leemeyers1]

2023 and I just started my KZbin channel. I wish I could see this earlier 😢

[@CoryTyler]

Church!!!!

[@EmilMrsic]

The cost for content is rarely discussed. The good stuff don't come easy:) The large number of tweets to blogs, vlogs etc... lack authenticity. If YOU say "do this" it's because you've done it and 200 other things. Your history and consistency make your voice valuable. The more available mediums to tell a story, sell, connect have become the less leg work and time on the pavement seems to be required or expected from the new creators. We seem to have more and expect less. Just a thought.

[@francis2dez1]

5 yrs later. Starting from scratch. Fuck it.

[@IdrisBusari]

The #internet created the #publish #button which almost immediately diminish the power of media houses everywhere. Authority is redefined by the quality and integrity aka #value of every content. This #disruption leveled the barrier to entry and the playing field. We all now have the power to create and distribute content. #IamaMediaCompany #IdrisBusari #ResQRecords #PiKtureTimeFilms

[@jongillam6240]

Inbound marketing baby....what I wonder about is "what is your content?" if you are operating a marketplace and not selling a tangible product? Sure I can print media about the ins and outs of the marketplace, but that isn't gonna interest consumers who are only using it for a connecting service and not to buy a product is it? I think for new collaborative consumption markets it takes a lot of creativity to produce engaging but still relevant content but def a must!

[@sacredvideonetwork]

Just found you, Gary. Really? It's 2013, I'm surprised that anyone DOESN'T know this. The internet has been around a couple decades now.

[@crscastle]

Fuck I wish I saw this four years ago.

[@FerdausAmzah]

good stuff... problem is, people adopt this thinking and start putting out a lot of content - but mediocre and meh content - and that creates noise. but then again, to put in good quality content, takes time and effort. kinda tough.
