Majority of the 'big names' outside of the realm of crypto are fucking impossible to get a hold of. Especially those in entertainment, they receive countless requests from randoms and not-so randoms, constantly (constantly!). Much of it gets ignored. The icebreaker needs to be solid. It could be months before there's an open window. Could be a month before you get a response. Constantly knocking is unwise while waiting. Best to work from a long list that's kept quiet until one finally answers. You'll usually get a representative. From there, strictly business. Expect a no. Accept the no. Don't try to sweeten the deal. They've heard it all. Follow up with new developments down the road but make sure to ask for an easier means of communication first, "In the event you change your mind."
And sometimes it's easy. So don't be afraid to knock.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh there have been plenty of Noes. You see the names I get but you dont see how many emails were sent out. For 1 yes theres 10-20 noes or ignores.
Sometimes you spend hours digging for eligible targets and even if you find 10 of them after 2-3 hours of digging all 10 might be duds and you wasted your time. Happened a few times.
Its the nature of the work.
I look for gigs sometimes. They don't come to you. You have to go to them. One in twenty is about right. And that's just getting a foot in the door.
I see one comment here about flash mobbing the comment sections. I don't think that'll work. Some of these folks get hundreds of comments hourly and a mob would just fade off and appear like a spam bot is working overtime.
Comment spam can come off aggressive and be counterproductive..
