A whisper in a crowd of creation…

by Greyface Creative Writing, Game Design, Game Development

Picture this: you’ve spent countless hours perfecting your craft, whether writing, sketching, or modelling. You’ve put your heart and soul into it, and now it’s time to share it with the world.

But when you look around, you realise the market is about as saturated as a sponge left in the sink for a week. How are you supposed to get noticed in this sea of competition?

Fear not, dear reader, because there is hope – which comes as community.

Working as part of a community can help you overcome the challenges of getting noticed in a saturated market. Here’s how:

  1. Collaborate with others – Two heads are better than one, especially when getting noticed in a saturated market. You can share ideas, resources, and contacts by collaborating with others. You might make a connection that helps you get your foot in the door.
  2. Support each other – It’s important to remember that you’re not alone in this. Countless others need help to get noticed in a saturated market, and they need your support just as much as you need theirs. By supporting each other, you can build a strong, supportive community that lifts each other up.
  3. Promote each other’s work – It’s not just about promoting your work – it’s about promoting the work of your fellow community members. Sharing each other’s work on social media and other platforms can help each other reach a wider audience.
  4. Attend events together – Networking events, conferences, and art shows are all great opportunities to get your work noticed – but they can be intimidating if you go it alone. By attending these events as part of a community, you can provide each other with support and encouragement and help each other make valuable connections.
  5. Share your knowledge – You have skills and knowledge that others in your community may not have, and vice versa. By sharing your knowledge and expertise, you can help each other grow, improve, and learn something or two yourself.

So there you have it – working as part of a community can help you overcome the challenges of getting noticed in a saturated market. It’s time to stop seeing each other as competition and start seeing each other as collaborators.
