Join Jay Baer for a Special Livefyre Q&A Today
By Gini Dietrich
Jay Baer, the author of Youtility: Why Your Marketing Needs to Be About Help, Not Hype, joins us today for a Livefyre Q&A.
I’m fairly certain Jay needs no introduction.
He has been on the social media, author, speaking, blogging circuit for many, many years. He has built companies and sold them. He moved his family to Bloomington, Ind., for no other reason than they liked the town. And he’s a tequila aficionado.
Today he’s going to hang out with you for an hour to answer any and all questions you have about his latest book, tequila, state fairs, or how many flights he took this year.
Today’s Livefyre Q&A
At noon ET (that’s 11:00 CT, 10:00 MT, and 9:00 PT for those of you who can’t do time zones), Jay will be here so you can ask him how to create useful marketing, how to address the questions customers and prospects ask, how to develop marketing your customers actually want, who you are actually competing against, or how to use case studies in new and interesting ways.
In order to participate, all you have to do is:
- Make sure you have a Livefyre account or be ready to sign in with one of your social networks.
- Set a reminder for noon ET today.
- Order the book so you can help Jay out, but also get your learn on.
- Create a list of questions (if you haven’t read the book, go to Amazon and read through the content there; you’ll find some things to help you formulate questions).
- Come back here, scroll to the bottom, and write a comment in the form of a question. As soon as you hit “post comment,” Jay will see it and reply to you. You can even join the conversation around questions others are asking, if you like.
We’ll be here for an hour so you can join us the entire time or step in and out during the hour. It’s entirely up to you; just make sure you’re here before 12:59.
Win a Copy
Those of you who participate in today’s Livefyre Q&A (even if you’re late to the party, but not if you’re an Arment Dietrich employee) will be entered in a random drawing for a free copy of the book.
We bought two copies and will give them away, but you have to actually leave a comment, ask a question, or participate in the chat to be entered in the drawing. Otherwise we won’t know you were here.
Get ready with your questions and join the conversation. And don’t fear! If you missed the live portion of this, we’ll keep the drawing open until midnight PT so you still have time to get in your questions.
Former Guests and Who’s Next

Wish I could be there, but a client meeting calls
creativeoncall love that, chuck
Word Ninja Thanks!
creativeoncall Oh I won’t forget!
clippPR Yay!
Whoot! Should be fun!
I guess I’m fashionably early.
This should be fun!
CarrieMorgan Good nudge….I just Amazon’d it.
Looking forward to this.
ClayMorgan You are, indeed!
*checks clock* *cracks knuckles*
JoeCardillo CarrieMorgan New verb?
And it’s time! Hello everyone! Welcome jaybaer!
*waving from Toronto*
ginidietrich jaybaer Greetings and salutations!

Howie Goldfarb NO.
Howie Goldfarb ginidietrich Knew this was coming
Howie Goldfarb ginidietrich Dr. Pepper 10 is way better than Diet Dr. Pepper. #youtility
CarrieMorgan Thank you!
So, Jay. The very first thing I am required to ask you about is the Youtility music video creativeoncall did for you. What’s the story behind that?
Hey everyone. Thanks for dropping the egg nog and hanging out.
cheers from chilly Chicago JayBaer and hello ginidietrich!
JayBaer Oh, I’m still drinking.
amandag Hi my fave!
belllindsay I can hear you!
ginidietrichcreativeoncallwell originally was supposed to be Aerosmith but Tyler was put into rehab just as recording was to start?
JayBaerDid you notice Susan Baier made something like 20 GALLONS of egg nog this year? Man, wishing I were at her house!!!
ginidietrich LOL!!
belllindsay JayBaer We’ll drop the egg nog when our fingers aren’t capable of holding it anymore
ginidietrich Glad you asked! I really enjoyed the social media songs Chuck was putting together, and was able to meet him IRL in Chicago. I talked about putting together a music video for the book launch, and he was totally game (one of the best people anywhere, is Chuck Kent). But, he took it to a whole other level than what I envisioned, with visuals from fans of Youtility, AND the song was recorded by Chuck and his OWN FAMILY! Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX6C-VpFs44

CarrieMorgan OMG. I hope she’s hosting a large number of people.
amandag JayBaer ginidietrich Not super warm here in Indiana, either
CarrieMorgan She is the queen of the nog.
Hello from Florida!
So, JayBaer – Can a brand be too helpful? Setting up unreasonable expectations for customers that might be difficult to meet at times?
LauraPetrolino Hey Laura!
Word Ninja JoeCardillo CarrieMorgan Amazon, Amazon’d, Amazoning – works for me! Welcome jaybaer !
Boston representing.
ginidietrichCarrieMorganSusanBaierI think she might be hoarding it for herself and just faking the company…
Hi Jay!
sierratierra We need some more Canucks up in here!
JayBaer I am curious. Being customer focused is not a new concept. I used it for years selling newspaper ads – solving their problems rather than building my revenue – and even Dale Carnegie talks about it. Why do you think so many companies just don’t get it? Is it culture? Lack of marketing education?
belllindsay ginidietrich <hic>
JayBaer I love this…and I ADORE Chuck!
CarrieMorgan ginidietrich SusanBaier LOL!!
belllindsay sierratierra waving from frigid Ottawa!
