Help me win a bet?
Will you do me a favor?
I’ve asked my friend, Gary Vaynerchuk, to keynote the upcoming Underground 6 seminar in March. But the rub is that it’s the same weekend as SXSW in Austin – where he’s also supposed to be speaking.
So to make it worth his while, we made a little bet…
The deal is if I move 500 copies of his book “Crush It“ he would change his schedule and come down to DC.
So why do you care?
Good question.
As you should know from older posts here, I’m not above ethical bribery to make it worth your while and help me win the bet.
There are 3 ways you can help. And at the same time, I’m going to do some cool stuff for you. Please watch this 4 min video explaining the bet.
BTW – if you don’t know who Gary Vaynerchuk is, he made a name for himself with WineLibraryTV.com, which at last count had 90,000+ viewers tuning into his daily wine rants. But more than that, he’s become a hallmark for personal branding and using Web 2.0 to really connect to your audience in a big way. The guy is pretty incredible!
(Update: Way #1 is complete so I need your help with way #2 and #3)
One more thing, my buddy, Jeff Johnson released some killer Word Press software right here. If you’ve got a WP blog – you’ll want to check this out. (Oh, did I mention it’s a freebie too?)
We’re going to be using for our blogs too.
