I'm legit a successful podcaster. I read in my free time and post here time to time.
preferred method?
What's your podcast called/what's the basic idea? I'm genuinely interested. Any time someone is able to be creative and successful it's borderline fucking heroic
Wait until you actually do something interesting with your life before you even think about becoming an artist.
Good question. Being a writer is as valid a conquest as any other mission you can set your life to. If I knew that when I was 21, I probably still wouldn't have written. I wanted an easy way out of maturing, a little late to developing myself, and something 'boring' (so everything) didn't settle well with me. It turned out I just wasn't very good with words. I still think of the most satisfying peak experiences you can have, it is writing a bout of strong prose, but weigh that against all the dry spells for convicted ideas, self-doubts, financial anxieties and everything else, and your "career" as a writer is about as bad as literally every other serious life path. That said, it's not any worse, as long as you *gulp* k-keep at it. *eats broccoli stem*... just keep at it...
Sounds all right. I was going to try making a youtube account to post videos of math stuff (nothing cool, just things like why there's a factorial in the denominator for taylor series) but I don't want to be known or seen by anyone.
It's a true crime podcast. Narrative structure. Take the facts and give people a story.
If you want to make it as a writer without connections in 2019...start a narrative podcast. And exploit a genre that isn't fucking gaming.
How'd you even get started with that? How did people find your work?
I've gotten multiple short stories and poems published, and I've only seriously focused on writing with talent for four years now. I'm determined to make it.
You have to push twitter hard. Find out who your competitors are. Follow every single one of their followers. Unfollow the ones that don't follow back after a couple days. Find another competitor and repeat. Follow 500 people a day and you'll have your audience at zero cost.
It's not a ton of money but I'm clearing 6K a month when you account for patreon, ad reads, paypal donations, and merch sales. I'm hoping to double that in six months. There is of course an element of luck.
The floor is wide open for podcasting and it's still growing.
Being a revolutionary and a writer
What podcast site do you use?
Site? Do you mean host? I recommend using Blubrry or Libsyn. None of the cheap alternatives. Itunes will be the main source of your downloads.
I never gave up, no matter the obstacles. Creating my vidya magnum opus would have costed me millions in America. My choices were to win the lottery or try working my way up an established game dev for 20 years in the miniscule chance I can sough my vision with the approval of board members and feminine marketing teams. Fuck that. Worked a shit job for 3 years living with my mom while I saved every penny, every free hour was spent in preparation, either mastering my art skills, writing, designing, reading, programming. I'm now in Mexico a few months in my project. My money literally goes 10x farther here, I can afford to hire the top talent in cdmx. Extremely steep learning curve but it's worth it for me, moving down a typical set path would have been death. Hardest part was covincing my parents what I'm doing instead of University, and everybody treating me like a burn out loser while I was living at home
can somebody please post this in its proper size?
Its called resizing you absolute fucking retard
I'm becoming a speech pathologist. I'll continue writing because it's become a really cathartic outlet, and if I get published one day then great, but if it doesn't go anywhere then hey I have a cool hobby.
BUTTERFLY DAMN IT FIND A WAY AROUND THE BAN YOU DID IT BEFOREEE. ONLY DO IT IF YOU ARENT FOURTY FUCKING SEVEEENNNNNN
I joined the Coast Guard. Its pretty comfy.
The mod deleted the thread because it was a garbage dumpster on fire, mister kittyface. Don't be so thirsty.
This.
how do I re-size, and why so aggressive?
get a job
Are you Mexican? Can I join your project?
Okay but JUST ANSWER THIS.
That’s not your real age is it? Please you’ve seen the adv thread you must be feeling pity. That can’t be your real age.
I’ll calm down
The user you're replying to was joking. He is being extra hostile because he's trying to teach you that hostility is only a mask. On Yea Forums, the hostile user is typically playing the Fool.
I just did it for you just open MSPaint and stretch the picture out.
They should ban people for being this retarded
No I'm an American, just really like Mexican history and Mexican wages LMAO. I'm recreating Tenochtitlan on a 1:2 scale implenting an open ended "rpg" type gameplay which allows players to basically take on any role or idea in aztec society. Do you have any skills and do you live in Mexico City? Right now I'm looking for musicians with knowledge of traditional mexica music. Everybody in this city is really excited to work with me, they feel like they are doing their country proud which makes me happy that I get to provide people with valuable work
anyone who is actually around 21 and thinks they should give up is beyond stupid and will grow up to regret all the self-pitying crying they're doing now when they're older.
"Doomers" are lazy and/or stupid fags looking for an excuse. Start training yourself now and you'll be happy. I'm not trying to be a boomer excusing how shitty thigns are now but literally, don't end up like I am, 33 and a talentless fuck. DON'T DO IT.
Got a degree, became an automation maintenance technician in a factory, started a family, buying a house. Make music no one listens to an put it on the internet.
how do you mean talentless?
I run two miles before dawn breaks and lift every day but that doesn't change the fact that all efforts are ultimately temporal and thus futile
i can't be fucked with the anxiety of being on the brink of homelessness any longer. i've been at it for 4 years now, barely scraping by. my current negative mindset isn't providing the best creative energy (not that i'm depressed/doomer, i can't seem to work for more than a few hours whereas before i was working for 8+). i'm changing gears, making money will be the focus of my time for at least the next year and i'll create in my spare time.
i don't think he means physical training... he means developing a skill (writing etc). if you're 21 the one asset you have is time, if you choose to waste it now you will regret it.
Poker, gf, senpai in the future if i make it
I started a blog yesterday focused on silent films and horror movies and I've gotten over 500 views in the last 2 days.
The key is to push your content in Facebook groups. Theres hundreds of groups just for silent films and classic cinema. I'm sure your niche has a similar circumstance.
For example I asked a group focused on pre-hayes code film what they thought of the film The Dark Old House, the next day I posted my review. I got 100 views just from the one post.
Reddit is also good, assuming there is a subreddit for your niche. Redditors hate self promotion though, so make sure you're careful about it.
My next step is to start a YouTube channel. My content is niche (I'm very into old shit, 50s sci-fi, film noirs, silent movies, etc) but the niche is very underserved and the audience is there.
Podcast guy here. Niche is very good actually. The broader the topic the more you're competing with others. It's good that you have a laser focus.
It also helps to shill your content whenever possible. Had a guy ask me in a Facebook comment where to stream The Dark old House and I linked him an article I did about 5 Films You Should Watch on Shudder after I explained he can stream it on their service.
Another example is just linking my content in this thread.
