With the meteoric rise of social media and the mammoth power that it can harness, more and more people are seeking their fortune within the entertainment world. With so many aspiring hopefuls competing for success in this ever-expanding industry, how do you elevate yourself above the rest?
To answer the above question and find out how to build a booming media career, we reached out to entrepreneur Robby Clark. The entertainment and media world is one that Robby is very comfortable with; he was earning in seven figures as an actor even before he reached the age of 21. He now helps others in the entertainment business seek out their fortune with his sought-after advice. These are his three insights on how to build a successful media career.
- Master social media
“From creating invaluable industry connections to establishing yourself as a thought leader by sharing interesting content, social media will be invaluable to you throughout your journey. If you are not using every single platform available to you, then you are single-handedly sinking your career in media before it even begins.”
2. Build a personal brand
“The media world is highly competitive. It is literally a million-dollar business, which means that you have to be tenacious to establish your place within the industry and hold on to it. To rise above the rest, you need to build your personal brand. This is where social media is your greatest ally. Use every social media platform available to create the image and reputation that you want to project. This reputation will become your calling card, your personal brand, and then cultivate it if you want to make an impact on the industry.”
3. Educate yourself
“The entertainment and media world is incredibly fast-paced and no one is going to stop and take your hand to lead you through it. To truly commit to a media career, you need to immerse yourself in the success of others who have made it in the media industry. Seek out media success stories and study their journey to the top, listen to their podcasts, read their books, and consume their YouTube videos. Immerse yourself!”
The glamorous lifestyles of those in the entertainment industry attract a lot of people to this million-dollar business. Robby Clark believes that everyone can achieve this lifestyle and have a booming media career. You just need to establish yourself and show the industry how much you have to offer.
