For good "influencer marketing" or "creator marketing" to work, you have to be IN the community. You can't just expect to reach out to UA-camrs after they have millions of followers, you have to be there on day 1!
@@mrniksharma "you have to" is too strong a phrase for this effect. There are many ways to network and make things work. The one you and I prefer, i.e., finding small timers and helping them grow is just one of them! :)
@@mrniksharma I've been reaching out to microinfluencers and, while I can amass a good number through cold DM's, I haven't found them to be incredibly impactful. The fact that they can't include a link in instagram increases friction to the viewer. What is your advice in increasing traffic and conversions from microinfluencer marketing?
This is amazing Garry! Me and my teammates have being brainstorming and searching ways to launch our product successfully. And all of a sudden you just popped up with this gold mine. You asked the same questions what i would ask him if i ever meet him and not just that, you also gave the time stamps of key takeaways!! Man this tells everything about you and what you actually want to contribute to this startup community!! I am really grateful to find you Garry! Keep up the good work!! Thank you!!!
I don't know how you did this, I was just thinking of finding more about DTC marketing, and this video was in the top of my UA-cam recommendation - and I haven't even started googling it! Great video as always, keep up the good work!
Holy cow man, I see you even listed his links in the description. What great resources and content you're producing. Working hard on our brand. Have you interviewed anyone in physical training, fitness, or health?
I am grateful you launch this DTC video with Nik. The insights between organic and paid for instance brought me to look into my own DTC strategy. Thanks, Garry.
Hey Garry, I think you have some typing mistake in description it says "20:41 SEO and content is overrated" but in video you guys are talking about how underrated it is.
Thanks for the awesome content Garry! I'm shifting a few brands I manage from traditional wholesale to DTC. So I selfishly would love to see more content on DTC! Particularly on a more granular level. e.g. what is the best way to hire talent to run social media in-house (we have been outsourcing social up to this point). Where are the best places to find these talents and what to look out for? Keep it up and wish you have great success with your channel!
Absolutely, loved the chat with Nik. Great inputs from an expert and I learn at least a couple of key points of business or startup strategies in every video you put out. Thank you Garry for the content.
Hello Garry! It’s really great to see how you engage so many comments. Thank you for that. Would you please make a video about hiring contractors? I put out hiring posts but keep getting inundated by contractors instead. It’s getting to the point where I may just give it a try... just not sure how much we should trust them early on (like with access to our codebase).
Great video as always, really appreciate your enthusiasm Garry! And you did read the Japanese word correct. 珍道具(Chindogu), although it's not really a common Japanese word, lol.
Great interview and many actionable Tips. One note, in the description, the part about SEO and marketing - it should be underrated instead of overrated :)
Hi Garry, can you also upload a video giving an in depth explanation of your experience with tech startups hiring ad agencies vs doing marketing internally? And how to hire a person or agency for the best possible outcome?
My bitcoin Investment has blown my financial status away, against all odds I have been earning massive profits especially during these economic crisis.
Awesome interview! I know results may vary, but would you know what did the progress looked like when the brands mentioned were just starting out, compared to where they are now?
Oh! He’s the guy that sent me a whole crate of Hint water when I just started as a UA-camr!
Man small world!!

Fantastic! Glad it was helpful
I appreciate how your questions are geared towards people who are completely new to this game! Learned so much here. Thanks Garry!
Trying to make it very consistently useful for people to learn and implement. Thanks for the kind note!
Building brands is no rocket science - If it's better cheaper and faster. And Great Customer Service. It's going to sell itself by word of mouth.
Great point Himanshu
100% agree with organic acquisition, that's the most solid way to grow! Less volatile than paid
I really like how Nik ends: talk about you and your product / project. In my personal experience, THAT is EXACTLY when the magic starts!
I don't know how you did this, I was just thinking of finding more about DTC marketing, and this video was in the top of my UA-cam recommendation - and I haven't even started googling it!
Great video as always, keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I will have to get a good person to interview about this.
Insightful interview. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for listening
This was such a great conversation. I feel like I can take the idealogies and implement in other things. Thanks.
That was the goal. Everything I put out should be immediately actionable content!
Really great content 👊🏽🙏🏼
Glad you think so!

You see many people remain poor because of ignorance
I wouldn't say just because of ignorance, but also because of too many scammers in every business adventure like trading for instance
For real there are scammers but there are also real brokers out there looking for investors ready to take the market by storm.

LMAO
This was dope. But the interview was so heavily edited at points, it was super jarring
Oh yeah sorry, but I guess I'm trying to make it more high density information.
