Gary has turned the wine industry upside-down with his innovative (and sometimes controversial) approach. Say what you will…he is entertaining (one might even say, ‘addictive’), his WineLibrary.com site is absolutely raking in the traffic, and his daily video blog receives thousands of plays every single day. For that reason alone, Gary has been invited to be a keynote speaker at several of the largest Web 2.0 conferences around the world.

So when Gary offers his take on “how to monetize your blog”, he knows what he’s talking about. Check out this video, complete with a live, unscripted call to a would-be sponsor for his site. Take notes.

Take 5 minutes to kick back and enjoy, and if you feel guilty about skipping work to do so, pull out a pen and pad to jot down your favorite tip. (Yes, there were even a few I didn’t know!)

Or not. http://www.leftlanedesigns.com/blog/john-mayer-mac-support/ http://www.leftlanedesigns.com/blog/john-mayer-mac-support/#comments Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:52:24 +0000 Shawn http://www.leftlanedesigns.com/?p=447 This is quite possibly one of the funniest pieces of video I’ve seen in a very long time, although I find myself getting agitated along with John Mayer while I watch it. We thought it would be easier if we talked our parents into buying a Mac instead of a PC. But apparently, it just doesn’t matter what type of computer is in front of them.

He’s an Apple Coder. Notice how he’s facing his code and not facing me.” If you’re dating an Apple geek, get used to the way his back looks. And she’s absolutely right about those shirts…

(I think I can hear my wife, Kay, laughing from the other room.)
