Here’s an Idea that could help creators 👇
1. Be a Consumer before you are a Creator
“Nobody likes my Art”
“Nobody Sees it”
“How can I get attention for my work?”
“How can I build a product that others love”?
Simple.
Be a Consumer of the thing you want to create before you are a Creator.
Why? 🤔
🌎 To make great art or products takes “insider” knowledge of what resonates with people.
👥👥 You need to be a part of that ‘community’ to know what speaks and what’s missing. Aka a Consumer.
🧠 This gives you (nuanced) knowledge of how things work, the stories and the problems.
📢 Then, you make things that SPEAKS to YOU in that community. If it does, it will for others in that same community.
Example:
– Guy 1 who loves Pokémon.
– Makes cool new Pokémon character art and shares it.
– People in that community like it because it’s authentic. Guy 1 gets famous.
As opposed to:
– Random artist guy who does not like Pokémon, sees guy 1 making cool Pokémon Art (and getting attention)
– Replicates it. and fails.
– Why? It’s NOT AUTHENTIC. ❌
2. How to Make Cool Stuff (Key Takeaways)
🔨 Solve your own problems and make stuff around that.
🍿 Make art that YOU yourself consume.
✏️ Make stuff that you would watch, see and use. NOT what you like to make. (Ex – I like making comics, but I don’t read much comics)
