Most of our readers feel that blowing one’s trumpet on the social media platforms will help get the desired attention. Some even stress that this is what everyone should do if one is to get some kind of attention. Yet many also say that though these platforms are necessary in today’s day and age, genuine work and talent will be recognised. However, they also opine that little sharing is okay, but going overboard is annoyingHowever, on the other hand, some people who come up with some innovative creation mostly prefer to stay out of the limelight. From what I have seen and experienced, we have to show our work in order to get other people’s attention.
Dan Harmon says, “Find your voice, shout it from the rooftops, and keep doing it until the people that are looking for you find you.” So, social media such as Facebook and Twitter are excellent forums for an artist to showcase his/her work. If you have a good work of your own, you should post some piece of it like a trailer for the world to see. It’s normal for a person to have fears over not getting as much attention as he thought it would. So what? Nobody expects us to write like Shakespeare or paint like Picasso. It’s good to show people our work and make them think that we are not being useless. It is said, “Do not care about what everybody thinks of you; just care about what the right people think of you.” And it is not blowing our own trumpet. It’s just showing people what we can do on our own.
