Did you know that you can create marketing that's so useful that people will actually pay for it?
When our friends, family members and peer groups talk about brands, whether positive or negative, these reviews from the ones close to us can greatly influence our purchasing decision.
My guest this week has taped into this idea, coining the term Youtility Marketing.
In episode #004 of the Social Restaurant Podcast, I talk with Jay Baer, a strategist, professional keynote speaker and author of the New York Times best selling book Youtility: Why Smart Marketing is About Help not Hype.
Jay is also the founder of ConvinceandConvert.com, a widely read blog on marketing and social business, and he hosts the Social Pros podcast, a weekly show where he interviews real people doing real work in social media.
Go ahead, turn up the speakers, click play and listening to episode #004 of the Social Restaurant Podcast.
