MLM, advertising, content marketing, product placement.
There are many ways in which companies promote their products and services. Some of them are effective, some are fun and some are neither.
Vocabulary and speaking material based on two videos regarding online reality show ‘Planet of the Apps’ which according to some is the very example of how you should not do marketing.
Two rather different points of view on one show. Watch, discuss, engage in critical thinking.

Digital addiction is a real and growing problem and can take the form of smartphone addiction, social media addiction, or internet addiction.
Inspired by Gary’s idea of Disappearing December Trend I decided to make a worksheet that would work as kind of an intro to a month offline.

This worksheet is a made-to-measure lesson for one of my teenage students. She asked me to make a lesson about makeup. I don’t know much about the topic… but I promised to do my best.
I tried to google Gary Vaynerchuk cosmetics, Gary Vee makeup, etc. The only thing that kept popping up was the name… Bobbi Brown.
I had no idea, who Bobbi was. It turned out she is a professional makeup artist and the founder and ex-CCO of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, social media expert and a very inspiring person with a great sense of humor.
It was a pleasure to learn so much about Bobbi, her job and the beauty business.
Enjoy!

When I was thirteen, my biggest concern was to minimize amount of time studying, so that I could play computer games and watch tv.
In this episode, Gary talks to a slime entrepreneur, Maddie Rae. She’s 13yo and she probably makes more money, than you and I put together, doing something she loves.
Selling Slime!!!
Check it out!
btw. Gary doesn’t curse as much as usually 🙂
Level: B1+ and up.
Relevant topic is the key to a successful lesson. It’s often hard to find a subject that all students would be interested in.
There are very few things that we all have in common. That is why this video is such a great material for your class.
Each and every one of us needs to sleep. We have all had issues with how much we sleep. How much we need? How much sleep we would like to get? What’s the right time to go to bed?
Everyone has something to say about sleep.
Also!!! It’s a great starting point to a conversation on how unimportant perfect pronunciation is.
Summer is almost over. New year about to start.
If you’d like to:
– build a real bond with your students;
– have a fresh start with the class;
– give young people opportunity to express thoughts and doubts about future;
This might just be the place to start.
I knew that it was going to happen eventually. Gary Vaynerchuk is a great speaker and a fantastic source of content for ESL classes but, there are so many other speakers that limiting myself only to Gary felt wrong.
When I saw Ewa Błaszczak, my homie from Warsaw, Poland, giving a Tedx Talk about sarcasm, I knew that I will want to use it in my classes and share with you guys. Very interesting topic, some advanced vocabulary but also a bit of accent and pronunciation issues.
Great content for self study and those upper-intermediate classes. Have fun and… put an END to sarcasm.
Level: B1+ and up
Liars, haters, trolls and stupid questions vs. nature, positivity and loving yourself.
Very intense episode and relatively simple activities to go with it.
Watch out!!! The final part Gary’s show is kind of lengthy and confusing. Only recommend the last activity for advanced students (C1).
Free, printable worksheets for selfstudy, ESL teachers and educators based on Gary Vaynerchuk’s content.
Don’t overthink shit. Just pick one and fucking GO! – that’s what Gary once said when asked about picking the right name for a company. Do the same with the worksheets.
Just print them, hand out and fucking GO!
If you and your students are new to my content, this video and worksheet are probably the best place to start. Cute cartoon about Vaynerchuk’s life.
Find out who Gary Vaynerchuk is and get ready for some hardcore controversy in your classroom.
