Gary Vaynerchuk’s new
book comes out today.
Gary Vaynerchuk’s new
book comes out today.

Disclaimer:
I haven’t read it yet.

But, I already know I love it.

Here’s why...
ex hib it a
On June 4th Gary blogged that he
was looking for designers to
come up with a cover for his
upcoming book.

He received a lot of criticism as
some people didn’t like the idea of
having to do work upfront and not
get paid for it.

Some had valid points,
some just didn’t get it.
I was on the train with a
coworker on the way back
home after a busy few
days of meetings.

I told him all about the
contest and how I was
going to submit an entry.

Like most of my designer
friends he thought it was a
stupid idea and went back
to watching his movie.

I kept working.
It took me about 2 hours to complete.

I’ve seen Gary speak 3 times, read all his blog posts,
watched his videos and he’s replied to all my tweets.

It’s almost like I had to do this for him.

I submitted my design.
I got an email a few months ago from Gary’s team saying
thanks for taking the time to design a cover but unfortunately
they had decided to go in another direction.

Bummer.
I went to go see Gary
speak yesterday in my
hometown of Toronto and
got my hands on his book.
I went to go see Gary
speak yesterday in my
hometown of Toronto and
got my hands on his book.

Look what’s in the back.

A full 1/4 page!

Score!!

                            That’s a pretty
                            serious smile
                            on my face.
ex hib it b
I booked a trip to attend the South by Southwest
interactive festival to see Gary and connect with
some of the greatest minds online.

The total costs: $2,275
I uploaded a presentation
on slideshare last week
with a proposal.

I was going to provide a
summary of who I was
meeting and what I was
learning every day on
slideshare.

Those who could donate to
help cover my costs would
get a shoutout on my
presentations.
To my surprise I raised all the funds in
less than 24 hours.

Support came entirely from my followers
on Twitter and on slideshare.
I received a lot of notes like this one:

“Thanks for all the great
presentations! You've made
me at least 10x better,
so the least I can do is
donate.” - Peter
Although I haven’t read
the book yet (I will today),
I know we’re living in the
humanization of business,
or as Gary puts it:
The Thank You Economy.
