Hey everyone,
Here’s what I have learned: If they love your work or you check the “right” boxes, it won’t matter if you have no social media following or audience. They will shower you with deals and help you build that following.
If they have a bias against you or don’t understand what you’re trying to do, you could have have a huge audience and they’ll still turn you down.
Want proof? Read this.
I will point out that Rupi Kaur not only has 4.3 million followers on Instagram, but the trailer she posted for the project she’s talking about got 1 million views within 48 hours of posting.
Sometimes the gatekeepers get it right.
Sometimes the gatekeepers get it wrong.
It’s not a reflection on you.
Do your job.
Keep doing your job.
Keep getting better at your job.
Either they’ll take a chance on you, or you’ll find another way.
Cheers,
Natasha
