Designer’s keeping ahead with the mass
Welcome
to an era where everyone is just as talented as you are or maybe more…
Behances,
twitter, facebook, tumblr, imstagram. Yeah!
Whatever, you can join all the social networks in the world but you are
not going to make it! The stress, the posting every 2 hours, the pity and the
constant asking, ohh could you like my page? Would you check out my website?
Yeah! We all have been through this, but here is the thing, you have to accept
that:
- The amount of likes you get is not going to determine if your idea is good or not!
- Do your math, if out of those million follower you haven’t gotten any sell that means you are nobody
- if you believe you are an amazing original, one of a kind Designer, helloooooo you are not! There is always going to be someone that does the same you do but better!
- Even if you spend all the time on the internet or you hire somebody to post this or that in many other websites, you have to understand that social networks don’t bring you that much of money that you think, statistics don’t lie.
Sometimes
internet could be depressing, you realized you are not this big guy that you
thought you were, my advice is: don’t get too stress out, do your job the best
you can, even if some guy next door is making it better you have to learn to
copy in the good way, do not try to invent the wheel out of squared boxes, use
your head, use internet for the purpose of growing yourself as a professional, use
social networks to study how you could be a better designer. Focus in your work,
focus in been happy doing what you love, focus in the client, yeas that’s right
the human one! And of course you put your name out there on the web, join all
the socials you want, share your work every time, I’m not saying is not
important but don’t turn into this “follow me, follow me” online maniac, don’t
waste precious time waiting for a like, you have many other things to focus on,
don’t you think?
