Gary is just so passionate in eveything that he does. Whether it be in life; in business; or in wine he is just passionate about eveything that he is involved with. And this has made him the a celebrity and rich.
A little about Gary: He was just a New Jeresy kid that went to work in his family’s small wine store. But he had a passion. So he took a video camera andstarted making videos about the different wines. He made a new video everyday (5 days a week) and posted them on you tube and his website
Gary has stated that his family’s wine store has gone from just a small modest income to over $10,000,000 every year.
Gary using social media like facebook, twitter, myspace and now tumblr to get the word out about his wine and about himself. He has over 20,000 fans on twitter alone. That is 20,000 plus people that have signed up to follow eveything he has to say.
Gary givesd these lessons about using social media to make yourself rich in life and in business using social media:
- Be passionate about what you love.
- Be knowledgeable about what you love.
- When you are using social media speak from the heart not your pocket book.
- Listen to what you fans and followers are saying about you and your passion.
And lastly, he offers this small bit of wisdom for you: You no longer control what your brand says about you or your company; it is your fans and followers that control your message.
