EP44 - Joe Charman aka The Skills Guy - How to build your online fan base - a podcast by Simon Caine

from 2016-03-02T11:31:08

:: ::

Joe Charman found fame on Vine with his short jokes and "skills" videos which have led to him becoming an internet sensation. We talk about the highs and lows of going viral, dealing with haters, what it's like getting spotted in the street and how you can create your own fan base using the internet.

I got him on the podcast to talk about...

 

  • His thoughts on Vine and other platforms
  • Why he considers himself an “entertainer” and not a “comedian”
  • What it was like being the tour support for Dapper Laughs while he was going through the controversy. How he found his voice and then found his audience.
  • How he misses the anonymity of performing without the pressure of being “famous”.
  • Does he think sponsored vines are “selling out” and how can you make money from being a Viner.
  • How to make your content go viral.
  • Can he make enough from adverts alone?
  • How did you get the job as the support act for the Dapper Laughs tour?

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book - 


The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.


The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.


If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.


If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.
