There’s more than one path to success. You can buy that dudes course and do exactly as they did but it will not guarantee success. Often times, artists like me who are DIY-ing our way around the industry, do a lot of experimenting when it comes to branding and marketing ourselves. Trying out all kinds of approaches hoping we land on “it”. It being the right thing to do. The right caption, the right camera angle, the right time to post, the right story.
Personally I don’t think there is such thing as the right story. What’s more important to me, is the full story. Before you are an artist or a writer or a filmmaker or musician, you are a human being. You owe it to yourself to tell your story right, by telling it in full and being authentic in your storytelling.
Every chapter in your story is equally important in the make up of who you are. You never know which part is going to touch someone so you may as well tell the whole thing. Taking off the mask and being upfront with you all here and now is part of my story. That’s my marketing. It’s just me behind a keyboard piecing together my thoughts in real time. Ready to tell my story right.
