IN MY OPINION;

WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

MARKETING YOURSELF......'TOO'.

In many ways trying to make a name for yourself for anyone,  isn’t all that different from searching for fame under bright lights of Hollywood Boulevard. Hollywood is built on advertising and self-promotion. Even the iconic Hollywood sign was originally an advertisement for a housing development called Hollywoodland. Yet, it still towers over Tinseltown more than 60 years later.

However,  acting, where success relies on relentlessly placing yourself in front of the right sets of eyes, self-promotion was,in the beginning,  was not favored by many of Hollywoods Big Time agent.  Preferring to focus on their business rather than stepping into the spotlight themselves. However, in the increasingly saturated modern startup ecosystem concentrating, on your personal image and social proof on social media is becoming essential to draw the attention of those who can push your career, your qualities, to the next level. Actors, any entertainer for that matter has to build a network, and much of the legwork is done by themselves personally and not as simple as pitching the ball to their agent and then sitting back and waiting. There are so many avenues available to actors on all levels, but in particular those with budding careers. You have to be 'seen' you have to pay attention. Listening to sage advice and not just blabber from someone else trying to do the 'exact same thing'. Look, at those Social Media lanes as well. AND MOST OF ALL,, WORK ON SKILL LEVELS. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO TRY TO MARKET SOMETHING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE THERE, OR HAVE A MARKET VALUE. WHEN YOU FINALLY GET THAT BIG TIME CHANCE, DON'T BLOW IT. AT LEAST KNOW THAT ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NOT HAVE GOTTEN IT. AT LEAST YOU WERE READY...>>> YOU CAN BET THE OTHERS WERE AS WELL<<<
