Teenage star, Justin Bieber, understands the power of using digital for fame. Before gracing the globe with his signature hairstyle, he was not much different than the average YouTuber. He started his YouTube singing collection after this family living internationally were interested in hearing him sing. His first video became an online hit, which inspired him to film and upload more videos. Justin’s YouTube appearances resulted in a signing “custody battle” between pop princes Justin Timberlake and Usher. Most of us know what happened next…
Are you ready to ride the digital wave to fame?
#1. Know your online audience! Think about what fun, interesting and exclusive thing you can give them that they can’t get elsewhere.
#2. Juggle as many social platforms as you can. Know your fan base by creating your own Facebook Page, tweet exclusive tidbits about your life and media library, and bring the audience into your world on Blogster. More importantly, come up with a comprehensive strategy before you launch each one.
#3. Debut your talents in your video library or live streams. If you have it, you have it… and if you don’t, your fan base won’t be as kind as the judges on X Factor.
Until next time!
