In June’s
FHM,
Ben Philips,
Vine breakout star,
shares
“Embrace your platform.
I like Vine
because it’s so simple.
It’s just six seconds
and it’s instant.
You need to focus
on the platform.
Choose one thing
to start with
and be ahead of the curve.
Being the first person
on a new format
automatically
puts you ahead.”
I admit to never being first
at… well… anything.
I was slow to blog
(client k aka Road To Forbes
is only 10 years old).
I was slow to write
in my chosen
romance subgenres.
I was slow to join
Facebook, start a newsletter, etc.
Being slow won’t kill you
but being first IS a clear advantage.
If you can be first,
be first.
