WHY BLOG?
Benefits of Blogging
Blogging allows you to reach many amazing people all over the world.
As – for instance - a performer and an entrepreneur, your experience is going to be very different from anybody else’s! The lessons that you learn throughout your time while working in the Entertainment Industry can prove to be valuable to lots of others – all over the planet!
Countless people have ideas about what it is like to pursue a career in entertainment. Some of these ideas are true, while others are far from the reality of what the life of a Performing Artist is truly like. However if you’re currently pursuing it, YOU are actually living this crazy but awesome lifestyle! Think about all of the people that you have met while working in the Entertainment Industry, and all of the incredible experiences that you’ve had so far along your journey.
Life in the Performing Arts is exciting, isn’t it? Sharing your own experience in the Entertainment Industry on Arts.eAfrica.info will help to paint a picture of your life and your art through the good times and the hard times.
You regularly discover things that you would like to share with your network, especially through writing! Each and every single time that you go to an audition or book a job, for example, you learn something new about what works and what doesn’t. Sharing that information can help others.
A career in the Performing Arts does not come with any guarantees, and there is no “right or wrong” way to find success in this industry! There is only your way. Reading advice from others about their experiences can prove to be hugely valuable to you or anyone considering a career in the Entertainment World.
Blog Often
You might say: “It’s too much work to keep up with blogging and social media.” If this is something that you believe to be true, you must get over that misconception today! Pursuing the Performing Arts as a career certainly does not mean simply working all the time. A large majority of your time will be spent networking and learning about the business. Writing a BLOG is a perfect way to network and share the thoughts and experiences that are uniquely yours.
Once you do start blogging, plan to post to your blog often. In the Performing Arts, every single day is different, which is part of the reason that this career path is very exciting yet challenging. Your readers will start to gain an understanding of who you are through your writing, which helps to build your brand.
Your writing, for example, would be a collection of experiences working within the Performing Arts in South Africa. Members of the entertainment community live all over the world! Reading about what life is like in the Performing Arts in another part of the world is equally fascinating!
Artists are strong, resilient and fearless people. Even in the face of the great hardships and uncertainty that can accompany this career path, there is a sense of determination that artists possess that is extraordinarily inspirational.
There are times, however, when even the most courageous men and women need a little bit of help, especially when times are tough. BLOG and ask for guidance and advice. If you are genuine when asking for help or seeking guidance from industry professionals, there’s never a need to worry about “annoying” anyone. Being a “pleasant pest” – when making yourself known to others and when asking for help/guidance from others – will further your career! There are many incredible people in our business that are willing to share advice and knowledge. Seek them out!
