What is Gary Vee's $1.80 strategy?

Gary Vee's $1.80 strategy is like being the friendliest person at school—you go around and give your opinion on what other people are saying, every single day [3]. The name comes from leaving your "two cents" (your opinion) on 90 different posts, which equals $1.80 in coins [5].

Why is it called $1.80?

It's a fun math joke! If each comment is worth "two cents" (2¢), and you do it 90 times a day, that adds up to $1.80 [5]. Even though comments aren't actually worth money, the idea is that your effort is "worth" that amount [3].

How do you actually do it?

You pick topics related to your business, find popular posts using hashtags, and leave helpful comments on 90 posts every single day [1][4]. You do this on social media like Instagram or LinkedIn, focusing on the same hashtags and topics [2][3].

Does it really work?

Some people say it helps them get noticed and grow their audience because they're being genuinely helpful and showing up constantly [1], but others think 90 comments a day is just too much work and might not actually help [3].
