I came across this blog post in Mashabale about a meetup that Gary Vee of Wine TV was doing in New York. The most commented statement that he made was that you can make a living with just 2500 uniques a day. So many questions arise from this, what is the average income per unique are you expecting here? Where do you live and how much do you need to live on? Make up your own mind and share your opinion below.
You can watch the video of it here but this is a summary of that talk.
Gary’s 7 Points on a Social Media Upturn
1. “Hustle” – improvise, be resourceful, do whatever it takes to care for your community. Tough times require creative solutions.
2. “Next 24 months are the biggest opportunity for social media” – social media is mature. “It’s a baby. But it’s mature. It’s a baby with a mustache.”
3. “Large companies will cut social media because they don’t understand it” – the longer the big players stay away from new web technologies, the greater the opportunity for new entrants.
4. “The new barrier to building a brand is your time, not your pocketbook” – nobody can stop you from starting a global media brand from your house; all you need is time.
5. “Telling main street about Twitter is a waste of time” – keep it quiet; knowledge of new web technologies is your competitive advantage.
6. “Take Your Money” – go to Google, type in the keywords in your space. Look at the ads next to the results: these are people who pay to market in your niche. Call them. Convince them to spend those dollars on you instead.
7. “Anything that gets eyeballs is monetizable” – 2500 unique visitors a day should be enough to live on.
