“HarperStudio has signed a seven-figure, 10-book deal with Gary Vaynerchuk, a 33-year-old Belarusian-born wine retailer from New Jersey, who, except for a talk show appearance here and there, is basically unknown in mainstream media circles.” -Wall Street Journal
Another blogger makes good! Gary made good before today’s announcement that he’d landed a major book deal, but this deal is significant.
HarperStudio offered “GaryVee” a 7 figure, 10 book deal. And it all started with a video blog. Albeit a highly funny, creative, personality-driven video blog. At the end of the day, this development underscores the importance of social media networking and blogging in creating opportunities like this for bloggers.
While most people will tell themselves they could never accomplish something like this, I’m betting that Gary would beg to differ. The only thing preventing any blogger from having success is the blogger.
Gary is the creator of WineLibrary.tv and has been featured on Conan Obrien and a host of other major network shows. He’s got a major Twitter following and wild fan base at WineLibrary.tv. (latest video: Wine on a Plane)
