How to Use the Arts and Media in Conjunction with the Magic of Thought to Grow Your Own Audience

The blog post you are reading right now was an inspiration for, as well as was a provider of excerpts, used in the latest episode at the time of this writing of Celebify.com (video mini podcast) on the topic of the “Magic of Thought” to grow your own audience. You see, Yianni Stamas is both the creator of the website you are reading this article in right now as well as is the producer of Celebfy. Two more sites Yianni developed and are also integrated into the prior mentioned episode are “Video Diary NYC” and “U.S. in Need”.

Find Likeminded Individuals

You are the audience that you grow as an approach that makes everything easier. In short, there is a reason for the differentiation between to “Grow Your Audience” versus to “Grow Your OWN audience”. When you grow your own audience, it means that you are bringing into your world likeminded individuals.

Meeting of the Mind

If you are thinking in terms of finding others who are interested in what you are interested in but maybe you have a perspective and knowledge base on it that is of use to them, that is the best possible way to draw them to you. In other words, think of what is interesting to you and focus on ways to discover others with whom you have a meeting of the mind. Because then once they become aware of you and what you offer and realize they need it, this leads to you being able to grow your own audience.

Make a Connection

One way to do this is to think in terms of people in your life who you have known for a long time and can relate to. There is a reason that people stay in touch with each other or even seek out those they have known from their past and then make a connection with them again.

True Authenticity Occurring

It can often have to do with the fact that you have things in common. Parallel journeys in a sense. So, keeping this in mind when you engage in the process to grow your audience can be helpful. You are your audience. Your audience is you.

Can You be a Fan of Your Fans?

An odd question indeed. But think of it this way. You are likely to choose friends you can relate to and certainly that leads to long-term relationships. And for many, one can be a fan of one’s friend and their friend can be a fan of theirs. So this dynamic is not much different in a sense when you go about the process to grow your own audience.

Innovative Approaches to Podcasting

 By harnessing the power of the arts and media, combined with the magic of thought, you can effectively expand your reach and engage more people. And a popular way to do this that you can make very much your own is to innovate on approaches that are in wide use such as podcasting.

Video Mini Podcasting

Yianni Stamas innovated when he recognized the need for what he calls a “video mini podcast” meaning a podcast that is done in video and is no longer than five to ten minutes. Remember that like most things, a podcast can be a telling of a story, your story, defined by guests you might involve as well as ideas that you bring into the mix.

Tap Into Your Own Inner Resource Which is You

Be conscious of your content and why you are pursuing it. This is sometimes called mindfulness. Or as Yianni has learned from a friend, become your own mindful ally.

Meaning you can be your best possible ally when it comes to the creation process if you tap into your own inner resource which is you.

And as odd as this might sound it is important in the process to grow your own audience that you realize that a stumbling block some have is that they are not themselves an audience member of themselves.

In other words it is going to be harder to get others to become audience members of your business or nonprofit or artist entertainer career if you are not yourself a fan.

Seek Out Those Who You Share Things in Common With

In the end, most things are about community.  People like to be around people they can relate to, so when you are looking to grow your own audience, it is vital to think in these terms. What does your community consist of? How will you find others who are aligned with your own thinking. You want to continually ask yourself this and seek out those you share things in common with.
