Who's Up For Making Me (In)Famous?

[doc_loliday]

Porn tape obviously. Not many chicks on the forum though...

I think if you were serious about getting famous as quickly as possible it'd take a fortune, which I understand you possess. I think you'd need some kind presence on the internet, maybe a political show, and then a ton of advertising. And even then it'd only work if you were extremely charismatic and engaging. And it wouldn't hurt to be good looking with a full head of hair.

Instagram has a user base of 7 million followers. 55% percent of all 18 to 29-year olds (online) in the U.S. are using Instagram, according to Pew Research.

YOU have 228 micro-podcasts tailored for the short attention spans of the digital era. Podcasts that you could livestream as video clips on FB, Instagram, and SnapChat. Podcasts that would dovetail nicely with a steady update of photos from your world travelling experiences. You're sitting on media content that has already been produced and would cost you nothing to leverage on the largest direct-to-consumer social platforms of our time.



You have ONE damn Instagram post.

It's not luck that's at work here, my friend.

Who here knows shit about Instagram, SnapChat & Twitter?

Were I the PR wing of Dr. Hash Inc, I'd strive to do this:

1. Find a fast, reliable, repeatable way of making my content.
2. Create templates for the big social media platforms(FB, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat) that allowed me to parse my content into their formats.
3. Streamline a process for distributing the content to the social platforms.

So, take show 228 for an example, "228 Rich People are NOT Special".

• A. Title is good, it's less than 144 characters so it's twitter ready. Maybe my twitter template looks like a link to the show, the title, and a quick blurb.
  B. FB will take the whole thing as a FB video, so maybe this should have more than an audio component. Yeah, it should probably be a video. FB also offers the most bandwidth for text and video, so any template that works on one of the other platforms will work on FB as well.
  C. Instagram will take the same link a blurb that Twitter will, but the live video is limited to a minute. No way to fit the whole video podcast there, but maybe the hook would fit. The best 30 seconds that draws people into investing in the whole 2mins 41 secs. Maybe for Instagram you use the Twitter template for updates and include the best 30 secs of the FB video.
  D. SnapChat - I know jack about Snapchat, except that it's used by an even younger crowd than Instagram, and Instagram has ripped off its best features. Build a template that works once you know the platform.

So from the moment you pick up the mic (and camera), you already know how this is going out to the world. You're going to record just shy of three minutes of content. You're going to have a title, blurb, and hyperlink no longer than 144 characters. The video will post full to FB, best 30 secs to IG and SC, and all of them will include the full Twitter announcement.

Grind out the content, distribute. Grind out the content, distribute. Grind out the content, distribute. Grind out the content, distribute. Grind out the content, distribute. Grind out the content, distribute. Grind out the content, distribute. Grind out the content, distribute. Grind out the content, distribute. Grind out the content, distribute.

And have fun with it. Throw in some pictures of your travels to break things up. Share some non-lecture like observations about the world around you in videos and posts when the mood strikes you. This is how people get to know you This is how they connect with your journey. This is how they become followers/subscribers, and eventually supporters.

But it's hard.
Lot's of competition, of course. If folks could selfie their way to fame we'd know the names of every tween girl and metro-boy in America, right?


PS: Then there's things to consider like "When do I release the content? What time period has the best potential for all eyes viewing this content". Maybe you want to look at things like Is the Internet Awake? Maybe you're less worried about all eyes seeing it and more worried about west coasters seeing it. All these things have to be taken into account when you hitch your wagon to the fame train.

PPS: Banged this out in one sitting with no edits, so if there are errors or ambiguity or whatever, exercise those coping skillz.

SnapChat probably isn't the best for this sort of stuff, but I am one of the few young ones without one. Instagram is a good medium with good demographics. Probably goes without saying, but it can be close to social suicide to follow more people than follow you. However, eventually, following people back as a famed person will make them feel special and win their support (or at least good favor).

Can't say too much for Twitter, except that it's omnipresent these days.
