Advice on What People Pay You For 12:12

Selling yourself as the product to a fan is unsustainable and only works short term – you create more anti-fans in the process – focus on what’s sustainable – keep your distance if this is what you want. It doesn’t scale like a product or service would – make the thing – video series, book, mass produce patterns, entertain, but don’t sell friendshi…

Personality is an Easy Sell 7:49

1y ago7:49

7:49

Just because you exist, doesn’t mean anyone owes you and it really isn’t a good reason to pay you – skills, knowledge, experience, expertise – sell that and use your personality to sell it. Chose ethical money making – coning people, pandering to likes, feigning interest and leaning into obsession – all dangerous. There is inside the community a sl…

Becoming What You Hate 7:51

Remember, you started this because you wanted to be with the people, not high above them – celebrities never interact, and when they do we go crazy – but this isn’t how it should be for us in Cosplay – we’re not Hollywood Actors... Non-response, never interacting – it’s not social – if it’s just to talk about the next thing you’re doing and you ign…

Avoid the Main Cosplay Traps 11:32

1y ago11:32

11:32

There are a few Cosplay traps that we haven't talked about yet - more to do with cosplayers supporting cosplayers or those outside of the community who think they're doing the right thing by over-extending themselves to buy other people Cosplays. Do not become a “Fan” and carry a torch – have friends, collabs, but do not de-value yourself into havi…

Do Not Set Traps 9:30

1y ago9:30

9:30

Do not go to Cons just to con people. Do not hustle to see what you can get for free. Diminishing the community, your value, and only seeing others for what they make and how many followers they have reduces you. Avoid being the gatekeeper, or the cosplayer that bait and switches everyone for some personal issue that isn't being addressed within yo…

How Cosplay Traps You 6:31

1y ago6:31

6:31

The fame monster is real and cosplayers chase it. Eventually it traps you and you're just as stuck in your online world and it's customer service as you were when you were answering the phones at work and getting yelled at by customers. You begin to feel trapped. Staying relevant, getting validated, feeling the good and bad of it – dopamine either …

Authentically Fake 11:30

1y ago11:30

11:30

Avoid the authentically fake influencer, cosplayer, or person. Also, don't become this person. Selling and promoting the "fake" life on Instagram just leads to so many issues with yourself, with your following, and eventually - unless you have a PR department - it comes back to find you. You can't sustain a "fake" persona unless it's all you do and…

Everything in Cosplay is based in Fiction 9:46

1y ago9:46

9:46

We’re only showing so much of ourselves, and that self is based in fiction – graphics, effects, quotes – it’s all made up so that you like it. Going overboard with "fake" – beyond makeup into alteration for validation and so much lack of authenticity in just being what you THINK you have to be in order to gain attention. You use terms like 'higher …

Consequences of Keeping Your Job 13:22

1y ago13:22

13:22

Is there a downside to keeping your regular job when you gain some ground in the cosplay community? The short answer is yes, but there's just so much pressure to be in the space and be "the best" or rub elbows with celebrities, or get the best deals as an influencer with name brands. Whatever put that into your head, let's try and unpack it and hav…

It's OK to Have a Job AND Cosplay 8:55

Cosplay doesn’t need to be your full time thing – you don’t need to run a business small or otherwise - you can just enjoy being a cosplayer. Despite the online world and the pressure it places on you to make money as a cosplayer and an influencer, take a step back and think about how Cosplay can be fulfilling without being your full-time all-in ca…

Cosplayers and The 9 to 5 8:20

1y ago8:20

Being independent can make you really dependent. Everyone idealizes the "ditch the 9 to 5" without really telling you how hard things are to replace when you do. For someone starting out, it might be a little easier, but for all cosplayers - listen in before you decide that jumping out of the corporate life and into entrepreneurial dress up adventu…

Just Do Cosplay Less 12:51

1y ago12:51

There’s a difference between laziness and doing less – create space for creative ideas and projects. When you're just rushing and freaking out to get more content up to produce more reactions, you're not in a very creative space. Pick your battles and focus your time – relax and do. It's not a race, and it's certainly not a rush. Never feel like yo…

The Productivity Trap 13:51

Time is your most precious resource – don’t waste it just to increase metrics.

Do Less More Often, Cosplayer 9:52

1y ago9:52

Just keeping busy isn’t the answer. Constant scrolling, fear of sitting still, fear of being passed up or passed by or just...in the past - obsolete seems to wear on us as adult cosplayers. You can actually do a lot less and receive far greater gains and productivity out of what you do. The problem is that when you constantly push and grind, you're…

Is This Why You Built Your Platform? 12:25

The confusion about sales and marketing online and inside cosplay can lead to More followers – more justification – more arguing – more deciding who is right and who is wrong.
