Gary Vaynerchuk’s Keynote at Blog World Expo

14 Replies

Gary has given me what will no doubt be my daily inspirational video for doing what I do, and I sat with my Flip Video in hand for half an hour to record it the best that I could. Cramped up before the Q&A, but there is still lots of great content in this video.

I will have an embed, flash version soon, but for now, here is the full quality, unedited AVI for consumption.

I have also added it to Vimeo, and so now have a lower quality Flash version for people to watch. It is about one third of the file size, so it should be easier for those of you that are sick of the nearly 800mb version I uploaded previously.

For more sizes, and downloads of the video, check out Erik Boles blog, where he’s put up a mirror of the large 780mb version, and a Quicktime version that runs in at 207mb and an iPhone version at 22mb.

Blog World Expo Videos

So I took quite a few little videos at Blog World Expo, mostly on the first day, the E&E event which was a special start to the conference and had some great sessions, keynotes, and whatnot.

I am still processing all of the video I have taken, and will upload it all to Vimeo as I have the time.

Here are some videos for those that missed the event.

Speaking in Two Panels at Blog World Expo

3 Replies

Blog World Expo is quickly approaching, and as you might have noticed, I will be speaking at two different panels now.

The first one, as I mentioned before is the How to be More than a Blog: New Media Integration with Deb Ng and Tris Hussey. I am very excited about talking about adding more than just text to your blog, though for my readers here, I am sure you are amused by my seat on this panel as there aren’t many new media additions to this site (especially if you excluded my podcasts).

The point to remember though is that I haven’t always just wrote on this blog, and so I think I will have plenty to say regarding adding images, video, audio and widgets to your blogs to attract attention.

The second panel I am on isn’t the one I thought I was going to be one. I thought I was going to be on a panel with Jim Kukral, John Chow, Brian Clark and Zac Johnson, but when I saw that Darren Rowse was added to the line up, I know that the Making Money Online with a Blog panel was full, and rightly so.

Thankfully, Jim is an amazing guy and got me placed on another amazing panel entitled, How to Sell Direct Advertising on Your Blog. I will be sitting next Steve Hall, Wendy Piersall, Dave Taylor, and Lynn Truong. The line-up has me saying, “I’m not worthy!”

I almost would rather be part of the audience as these amazing people say what they need to on the subject.

Blog World Expo is going to be amazing. The only issues that I am going to have is that I am nervous about speaking, and there are too many great sessions running concurrently.

If you are attending, please let me know, as I would love to meet as many people as possible.

Speaking at Blog World Expo

2 Replies

Well, it has finally been mostly confirmed that I will be speaking at a minimum of one session at Blog World Expo thanks in a big way to Deb Ng of Blog Talk Radio and Freelance Writing Jobs.

I will be speaking on a panel entitled, How to be More than a Blog: New Media Integration.

In today’s busy blogosphere, it’s not enough to have a blog. Using images, video, radio, podcasts and more can take a blog to a completely different level. In this session you’ll learn why bells and whistles are important and how easy it is to implement new media into your blog.

I am still hoping to speak on more panels if I am allowed, as I have an opinion on everything, even if it isn’t what most people would consider a correct opinion.

I will be in Las Vegas from 11pm on the 18th of September until 11pm on the 22nd of September. I would love to meet up with other attendees or readers in the area. I will be staying at the Riviera Hotel and Casino, but you’ll never find me in the casino part, so no worries on losing my shirt or anything.

This should be an amazing conference, and I am both very humbled and nervous to be speaking. Please let me know if you are going, what you think of Blog World Expo, even if you aren’t coming and if you can meet up with me while I am in town.

Also, if you are running a panel or conference, and would like me to speak, please feel free to contact me, as I would love to share what I have learned over the last three years.
