Comedy Career Short Course

Testing the waters

The key to breaking into the internet is…. There is no Key! But there is a formula that has proven to work for a lot of people.

Make sure you are good at what you do (Comedy, Singing, Dancing etc.), as there are a lot of entertainers out there. So, make sure you practice your graft and are great at it, ensure you have the passion for it too as it is a long road to success.

Post that first video! Do not waste time and procrastinate, get that first piece out there and share it with friends. With some helpful feedback, keep positing away.

Be consistent! After that first video, create a schedule to post content each week. This is key to building up a good following.

Bigger steps for growth

With content creation as a career, there isn’t anything specific one can study under that umbrella. However, studying a business or marketing course would help with your career needs. I was able to study writing and film production and used these tools I’ve learnt everyday to run my business. Once you’ve hit a certain number of followers and get your first brand deal, this is when you start operating as a business.

The types of deals you then sign, along with the type of content you create, should all be dealt with as a business.

Final suggestions for wannabees?

Individuality and Consistency! Think about the creators you like, are there many out there that are similar? Unlikely, as the celebrities and creators we admire have no one out there that is the same as them.

Let your personality shine and be consistent with your content, eventually you will find YOUR tribe!
