Haha! Great video, Derek!
Honestly my biggest takeaway was you licking the bowl. :p
I also totally agree with tip no. 5 where people love to talk about and share things that are controversial.
I remember the blue and black dress vs. the white and gold dress!
People lost their shit over that, and I even fought my ex because of that and my ex called me blind LOL
But don’t worry we didn’t break up because of that.
ANYWAY I’m excited to use the tip on people like to share things that matter.
I’ve always been active in voicing out my opinions against injustices so this tip will help more people be aware with what we should really be talking about.

Hey Derek!

Thanks so much for your posts! All of them are super interesting!

I’m creating a music marketing plan for a couple artists and I’m going to see if I can add these to my strategy! Any thoughts on how this could be done?

Another great video.
Think the top one is that controversy is king.
Sometimes you can piss people off or offend them but they’re still gonna talk about you and you’re still gonna get noticed and some of the people noticing you are going to like what you have to say.

Hi derek, Awesome Video ! BTW, I don’t get the #4 tip : people talk about and share things that project who they want to be to their friends….Can you explain again, how this point can help to make a blog post viral ?

Waiting 4 your answer D money 😀

My takeaway: design supercedes content.

Here’s some science showing people pay more for designed salads that look like a painting. http://boingboing.net/2014/06/24/people-will-pay-more-for-a-sal.html#more-313767

I know this works because I often arranged my kids salads with smiley faces. Now they get upset if we DON’T have salad at a meal!

The one I want to do the most is “Practical Value”, after that “Entertain”.

Derek,
Although I agree with most of what you say, I have purchased your products and find them helpful.
I do, however, have to say “The Food Babe” doesn’t deal in truth all of the time. There’s a better explanation here (if you’re interested) http://snip.ly/Eau
I will say, to your credit, you took a stance and got me to comment, and this speaks directly to your tip #5 (people like to argue over dumb things).
I should note that I wrote the first part of the comment before you revealed #5. OH I fell right into it.
Great video Derek.

I think your Pop up almost went viral. Clearly, visual impressions matter and I’ll always remember your tongue and chef-style shirt.

I think the point about people sharing things that project who or what they want to be. That was an ‘aha’ moment. Thanks Chef Derek

Derek, love the blog and videos. I’m in the process of figuring out how to rebrand myself per your self-promotion webinar, so thanks for all the help!

Of all these tips, I find that people love to argue over dumb things (rather than things that really matter), is the most interesting. I found a lot of this stuff obvious, but it is fantastic you put it all in one place. Thanks again!

Great tips Derek! I implemented your “What are you struggling with” technique one month ago and I see great results every day. Thank you so much for that.
