I have been following Gary for more than 10 years. He is a very influential speaker and his philosophy is a good one to follow. He is a go-getter and electric personality. His ideas and way of thinking are great. He is also very good at reading his own books! Very enjoyable to listen to.

In my search for inspiration and knowledge to begin my own business and do my own thing this book help me realize that before the money making well oiled machine, I need to put all my effort in bringing value to my customers, gain their trust and built a long term relationship. Gary Vay knows whats best for you in the new economy.

Take-Aways & How This Resonates (with quotes from The Thank You Economy)1. Calling internet-based services like Facebook and Twitter ‘Social Media’ is misleading."But what we call social media is not media, nor is it even a platform. It is a massive cultural shift that has profoundly affected the way society uses the greatest platform ever invented, the Internet."Twitter is still a confusing phenomenon to most people. But as I explain in The Power of Twitter Told in 3 Tweets, it’s simply a tool

i thought i would like this book more than i did, but i think the content and the writing style just killed the experience for me. i don't know much about vaynerchuk, but he writes as if he knows it all and is the big time, which i highly doubt. i'm sure that WineLibrary is a successful company, but it's no Zappos, so his arrogant tone is a lot to swallow. many times, he talks about how the world didn't think social media was going in one direction, but he alone knew it all along. painful to rea...

Like most books of this type, highly repetitive. I get the feeling when people write books about their ideas, they have to be repetitive just to fill some quota for minimum book size. The point can usually be made in about half or less pages. Yes, I got the point, move on. I'm a big analogy guy. If I pull out more than 1 or 2 to get a point across, people uasually get annoyed. All that being said, I did enjoy the book, was even somewhat inspired by it. It was easy to read and I agreed with about...

One of my closest friends turned me on to Gary Vaynerchuk and his podcasts. I was such a fan of his bluntness and easy to follow, action based advice that I thought I would check out his books. I didn't go in with any expectations, still being a recent fan and unsure if his voice would translate well to the page.I was ultimately happy with the purchase because I admit it, social media is one thing I am not particularly good at. I am always terrified I'm gonna say the wrong thing and the few peop...

Some authors are able to weave what could be a decent essay into a masterbatory 200 page diatribe about social media. Way to go, now you're an "author."

I should preface this review by stating that while I intended to buy Gary Vaynerchuk's Thank You Economy on audio book, the opportunity came to review this book in exchange for a free copy. Based on what I've learned about, and from, Mr. Vaynerchuk up to now I didn't have to think twice about the opportunity.I am an example of the fruits of the Thank You Economy; I am the easily overlooked customer, a blogger with a scattering of Facebook friends and Twitter followers who now gets to direct the

Alas, this book is too little too late. It really should have been written 7 years ago, and should have been a blog post instead of a repetitive "no duh" manifesto for customer engagement via social media. Vaynerchuk brings nothing new to the conversation, repeats the same call to action in almost every page and every paragraph, and for anyone who has read serious books on this topic, he comes across as arrogant to the point of delusion. If you are interested in reading about how social media ha...

An engaging read about social media driven entrepreneurship. Concept wise it's still current, but some of the companies are already old news.

It is a bit redundant but it has very good content.

This is what it is all about

Here's my reading note..https://aarifbillah.com/the-thank-you....Best Regards,.https://aarifbillah.com/

I really liked this thought-provoking and relevant look at how social media is bringing small-town shop values back into business. Vaynerchuck shows that businesses need to build long-term, personal relationships with their customers by caring about them. Social media, because it magnifies word of mouth, is more effective at making emotional connections than broadcast marketing.Vaynerchuck uses stats, case studies, and firsthand experience to make his points and recommend actions. Although he me...

Gary V. spells it out for us in Thank You Economy!The power of the human connection.The importance of building valuable relationships.The revolution in ways of interacting in today's awesome technology.These have been the forefront of my mind recently after reading one awesome book by mastermind of this new economy, Gary Vaynerchuck. No matter what is said about Gary, I am crazy about him. It takes only watching him on stage once to fall in love and to look to him as a role model and visionary.I...

Gary V is one of (the few) modern gurus I follow. Why? Because he lives and thrives in Social Media, a wave that (at least) for he next few years all of us, both people and businesses, need to surf.This book carries 2 simple messages:1 - 20th media (i.e. tv, radio, billboards, and paper) are less and less powerful, and, thus, overpriced and underachieving2- businesses must truly care about their customers in order to connect. this connection in out networked age will yield results if you use it

While I’m probably 5 years late to the party, this book about utilizing social media for engagement with followers and customers. It’s thought provoking as I ponder personal branding and how to define mine. Easy to read, great examples, just a little dated but hey that’s my fault (as previously stated).

The Thank You Economy is one of the best business books I’ve read thus far. Here is a summary of the main points Gary Vaynerchuck recommends businesses implement. “Care—about your customers, about your employees, about your brand—with everything you’ve got. Erase any lines in the sand—don’t be afraid of what’s new or unfamiliar. Show up first to market whenever possible, early the rest of the time. Instill a culture of caring into your business by: Being self-aware Mentally committing to change

This book could be summarized quite quickly. Much of the book involves Gary's attempts to persuade old-school by-the-numbers business people that the "thank you economy" is upon us and that the new way of marketing must involve caring through conversations on social media with good intentions. Early on he makes an essential point that due to the connectivity of social media, people's conversations about you can powerfully impact your business through reputation factors (e.g. a virally shared fac...

Book Review: “The Thank You Economy” by Gary VaynerchukI never talk in absolutes, especially when it comes to books. What one person will like and rave about to everybody they know, another person will find irrelevant and hate. So, I usually exercise caution when giving my recommendations. However, there is no place for caution with “The Thank You Economy” by Gary Vaynerchuk. It’s an absolute must-read! Even better, listen to the audiobook. That’s what I did, and it’s always fun to listen to Gar...
