Marketing is method of spreading awareness about a product, a thing, or an idea in order to gain favourable perception and patronage from a target population. Mostly we can hear the word marketing in the business world but this term can also be used with pretty much anything that is under the sun. Almost all businesses employs certain marketing techniques to earn the trust and followers or consumers of their products but our focus here is how to market yourself to become famous one day. Here are three tips that can help you in your journey towards stardom.
Believe in yourself
Everything starts from oneself. How can people idolize you if you don’t like your hair, your teeth, or your dress? People can feel how passionate you are as a person by the way that you dress and by the way that you deal with everyone. Your audience will like you very much when they see that when you perform, it’s natural and you really believe that you have something special to offer them. When you act, everything is spontaneous. Your audience are your first hand supporters so you need to make them believe that they need follow you because you have the “it” factor.
Branding
Branding is very important. You should have something unique in yourself that when people talk about a certain characteristic or an idea, your name will be the name that they can mention. Different people employ different brands. It can be the way you dress, the way you speak or even the way you act. A certain circumstance or an event can also make people always think about you which can be your trademark. Think about something that can separate you from others and make sure everyone knows about it.
Be active in social media
People nowadays turn to social media every second of the day so you need to use this addiction to your advantage. YouTube and Instagram are two of the most prominent social media platforms that thousands of people use to get instant fame. For some, being famous through the art of YouTube or Instagram can be quite short lived. But if you’re smart then you’ll keep the fame burning. In social media there is also what we call ROI. If you’re thinking of “return on investment” then you’re wrong. ROI refers to what we refer to as “Return on Influence.” Stick with people whose influence are massive in social media and their influence can rub off on you too.
You need to market yourself as authentic and as original as you can possibly be. Always remember that you will never be contented until you are happy doing whatever you do each and every single day. Always keep in mind that when you market yourself to be a famous person, you should never say something bad about your competitors. Focus on promoting yourself instead. There are a lot more things you can do to develop yourself and your craft rather than bad mouthing others. Focus on everything about you. Focus towards elevating your career and everything else will fall into place.
