The business of being a star

I'm not a star..

But like most I dare to dream.

I've actually given it some thought though...of what it would really take to succeed in an industry.

My advice

1. Do something creative first ( like blogging)..
Get an understanding that your nobody,a small fish,replaceable.
Your not a star. Nobody wants to read your shit.

Only after you let go of your ego
Can you truly start to listen

Open your ears,open your eyes,close your mouth
..listen to how the machine really works. Listen to the cogs turning.
Listen to that heart beating.

Before you prepare to dominate, you must first know how to play the game.

How does the industry,the company,the website operate?? What are the rules? The expectations,the parameters that I am allowed to operate in?
How does the industry help or restrict my creativity?
What are the hurdles..the challenges I must face

2. Examine your competition

I feel way too many people cranked out a wizard's novel in the 2000s cause harry potter made billions. They assumed it was the subject matter and not the talent of the author

They assumed it was a trend.

Tell me how many other wizard books did you buy?

I think way too many people get caught up in trends. They want to flip " books" instead of writing them.
Too many just want to copy whatever content is currently getting the most clicks.

I'm saying don't copy..
Open your damn eyes
Realise it's not the book,the video,the game,the art that your need to study

Rather realise who you are competing against. The person,the author,the content creator..The man behind the curtain..

I think the easiest way to present this concept is..
say twitch

You want to start a channel and hope to become a pro gamer

You realise that yeah the industry is rigged..

Literally. Duh?

Women can be the worst players yet make a living by exposing themselves on camera.

You?
Don't have boobs!!!
You are at a disadvantage when it comes to pulling viewers,clicks,subs..making a living.

This is your money I'm talking about

But wait???, you don't have breast..
But neither does the top twitch streamer...fuck he isn't even like 18..

The dude is an old 45yr white dude..

Wtf? Really

Does this mean you need to don a red jumpsuit,a fake mullet and moustache and become a clone of " Dr. Disrespect".
Do you need to copy his act?

No

( Mic drop moment).

I'm saying you need to understand the man behind the mullet.

Note how he operates,note how long he grinds and streams

The actual guy isn't shy. He will tell viewers that your most likely won't make a living doing this,he will tell you that he has to put in a 10 to 12 hr day just to produce content
and he'll tell you straight up that he's not a "gamer"

He is an entertainer.
He tells viewers to try to do what he does..try to be entertaining for hours on end.

Your not competing against a work of art,literature,media

Your competing against the person and what they may create tomorrow.

3. Now your ready to compete.

You've seen the game..you've seen the in your competitors..

Now tell me lil ones..

What makes you special? Why should we give you the ball?

Shout it out,let it out...

Or let it tumble from your lips.

What makes you different

Or else

You might as well flip houses,cars or tables.

And it has to be more than

I'm pretty.

Being pretty isn't a talent. YouTube is littered with pretty girls covering songs poorly.

Just remember most people want to be good enough
To just fit in

Instead have the balls to shake the business to it's core.

And be that change

That others try to copy.

What makes me special?

Is it talent? Is it drive? Is it luck? Maybe priveledge?

I think the only thing I bring to the table

is a tiny acorn.

Small,humble,hard exterior

Not much to see..like wtf bro?? What is this weak shit your bringing ?
Didn't you mention something about talent?

Useless,forgettable,pure nonsense ,drivel

Get it outta here..throw it away..his blogs are hott garbage.

And only then will you understand.

Listen

As the tiny acorn burst from its shell

Growing

Into the mighty

Oak

Tree
