Haha I have taken the contrary approach. All of my years on this rock have linked me with some well known people who blog, perform, and are good producers of social media content. "check this shit out! This guy is not funny, is pulling this right out of his ass, and made $300 in the last 3 hours by posting a 1-minute video!"
It is inspiring to folks to an extent seeing how well they could do here with the content they so lovingly produce for free.
