Well, been away for a few months…I mean…quite a few months. Had nothing juicy to share, so I figured I’d keep working the voice out, continue training, getting coach, reading up on the industry…not just the voice part, but also the BUSINESS part, because you can only do so much with only a voice. If you don’t the business side of things, you’ll never really find the success and freedom you seek from being your own boss. Both aspects are of equal importance.
So, with that being said, one thing I have seen and have been reading for quite some time is the importance of having an online presence! I don’t to Instagram, and I have only a personal Facebook page. That’s about it. No matter what happens with my vocal abilities behind the mic, it’s difficult to get any footing in this business if you remain a faceless name. These days, things just don’t seem to work like that…at least, not for most. As such, I’ll soon be looking to create a business Facebook page, which Facbook allows you to do as an off-shoot of your personal page. I’ll also, FINALLY, look to get onto another social media platform, that being Instagram. I know, I know…I’m late to the party…but the one that I still haven’t dared to venture out onto, for now, is TikTok.
I am not yet quite sure what I’ll do on these platforms, as I’m still looking to get a footing here, but at this point, I’ve been toying around with learning, practicing, and studying as much as I can. At some point, the rubber needs to meet the road. I fear that if I keep on this path, I’ll never jump in and get anything done…so the first thing I probably will do is make it public knowledge, to all my friends and family on FB, that I’m going down this path, and I will ask them to hold me accountable to taking the steps I need to take to walk the walk on this path. I’ve never really put myself out there like this with ANYTHING, but I feel it’s a necessary step for me now, especially if I’m serious about pursuing this as a full-time living one day.
So yeah…that’s where this all really starts for me. This is where it all becomes real. I’m nervous. I’m anxious. I’m a bit afraid, to be honest.. I guess that is all to be expected, however. I made this decision a few years ago. I’m confident enough that I’ve learned as much as I need to for me to at least kick things off. There will be more that I learn along the way, undoubtedly.
Now it’s time to make it REAL!
