Put The Spotlight On You Like Reality Stars.
We could learn a lot about searching for the ultimate ad gig from reality celebs.
Think about it. They found a platform that put a spotlight on them and they parlayed it into success long after their 15 minutes of fame was over. Examples:
Political activist, poet, writer and entrepreneur (and frat brother) Kevin Powell was one of the original cast members on the first season of MTV's The Real World.
Access Hollywood host Kit Hoover is another MTV show alum, getting her start on the first season of Road Rules.
And Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel is reportedly making millions from her Skinnygirl brand.
No, you don't have to hit reality show auditions. Personally, I drew the attention of thousands with a blog. Just look for that platform uniquely defines you. (Check out my last post about Kickstarter.) And the keyword is unique. If you create a platform imitating everything you see out there, then expect to fade into oblivion like the thousands who had their 15 minutes of fame and nothing more.
Create the stage, step into the spotlight and draw the market's attention to you.
