Gary Vaynerchuk expands on his "social media experts are clowns" comment

• nhangen 15y ago
  I don't have a problem with the clown statement, because it's true. To me, social media people are like domainers - they get to the party a little bit early and then charge money to get in the door. The difference between most "social media professionals" and their clients is about 2 months of research.

    Do you think he was back-peddling or trying to clarify his statement?

      I think he did neither really - I think he just expounded upon his logic and to me, it made a lot of sense. The reason I like Gary is because he made his money using the tactics he's teaching (with a small portion of his business mind you), which is the exact opposite of what many SM pro's do, which is to use their "consulting" to make money. They're like affiliate marketers teaching people to get rich before they actually get rich.
