Chương 47: Post pictures constantly.

At this moment, Mark listened attentively as Dylan was about to speak....Yeah, Dylan was about to reveal out some of the ideas which could make Mark famous and bring about prestige. Are his ideas gonna be valid? are they gonna work out and make Mark famous as an artiste? What hasn't Mark done to attain fame? Definitely, he has done the best a hardworking artiste should do....he was just unlucky.

Ben was also waiting patiently for Dylan to speak,

"What unique stuff does he have to say? are his ideas gonna even workout at all?". Those were some of the questions that were rotating around Ben's mind at that moment.

Dylan finally spoke, "I am gonna be voicing out my ideas bit by bit as time passes by.....as for now, let's start with the first one. This idea of mine that I'm about to voice out might sound dumb, but it might actually work out. Mark, I have been following you on Instagram and many of your social media handles from the very first time I discovered you, and I noticed something. You don't post pictures regularly, only once in a blue moon. How do you want your fanbase to increase that way? I'm sure some fans are following you on most of your social media handles, even though they are very little,

But still yet, even with their little numbers, most of them are gonna be waiting constantly for you to post new pics, but you don't, am sure you ain't aware of that. Posting pics consistently and promoting yourself as an artiste on your social media handles could precipitate your fame as an artiste. All I said now is based on probability, it worked for some artistes, it could also work out for you".

Sincerely, all the words that flowed out of Dylan's mouth sounded dumb to Ben's ear, to him, it was totally a dumb idea. But to Mark, it wasn't much of a dumb idea, he didn't believe in the idea that much.....but he wanted to try it out anyway. He knew that what Dylan said about him not posting pictures on his social media handles regularly was true. He had taken lots of pictures, both photoshoots pictures, pictures after video shootings, selfies, and others...but he rarely posts them on his social media handles.

No wonder his followers on Instagram and other social media platforms remained stagnant. But the question remains, would Dylan's idea workout? is it strong enough to transform Mark from an upcoming artiste into a globally famous artiste? Well, Ben doubted that completely, he doubted it to the extent that he had to speak out his mind.

"There is a very high possibility that this inkling of yours wouldn't work out. Are you aware that Mark once recorded a song with Arnold that didn't blow up?".

"Yeah, I am aware of that". Dylan retorted.

"When I was producing that song for them, my thinking was that the song was gonna blow up and Mark would become famous from there. I had that thought 'cause Mark had never collaborated with a famous artiste in the music industry. Maybe all he needed was a collaboration with a famous artiste, and his fame could trigger from there.....but I was wrong. You know, Mark kept on telling me that he had this feeling that the song wasn't gonna blow up, but I kept on telling him that the possibility of the song blowing up was high, I had high hopes for the song,

The song dropped, and it was a total disappointment. The song performed reasonably well on the music streaming platforms, but it didn't even make it to the music billboard chart, a song with Arnold. If something like that could happen, recording a song with Arnold couldn't make him famous, I don't think this would work either".

All Mark did was nod his head, all that Ben said was the absolute truth. Collaborating with Arnold couldn't attain him fame, was else would work then? But he still wanted to give Dylan's idea a try.

"I would still love to give it a try, though the possibility of it not working out is high". Mark stated.

"Yeah, that's the best to do, keep on trying out new things, don't relent. Remember, I still have tons of ideas in my head, so if this doesn't work out....we try out the next one". Dylan said.

Ben nodded his head a bit and added up with his statement, "Well, try it out anyway, there is nothing bad in trying out new ideas. But how do we go about this?".

"There's nothing so hard in it, I'm sure Mark has tons of pictures of himself on his phone, he should do well to post them constantly on his social media handles. Not only that, after music video shoots, most directors love it when the cameramen take photos of the people that participated in the shoot. You have engaged in many music video shoots in the past, that's for sure, you are still gonna engage in more video shoots in the future,

Do yourself the privilege of promoting and advertising your music videos on your social media handles. Not only that, consistently post pictures that were taken by the cameramen after the video shoot in your social media handles. Are you gonna be engaging in any music video shoot soon?". Dylan inquired of Mark.

"Yeah, I'm gonna drop a song soon and the music video shoot is gonna follow suit according to my record label". Mark replied.

"That's an opportunity to make use of the idea I just gave to you. After the shoot, and a photoshoot takes place, make sure to post it all on your social media handles. That's a good way of advertising your music videos and yourself as an artiste. But before that.....I have somewhere to take you".

"Where?". Mark and Ben asked in unison, Ben that had been keeping quiet for a while now was suddenly curious.

"We are gonna go to two places, a boutique, and a photographic studio". Dylan retorted.

"To do what?". Mark asked more inquisitively.

"I am gonna take you to the 'Pixxel' photographic studio for some unique photoshoots. I've known the owner of the studio for some time now, he is very good at his work. And as for the boutique, we're going there to buy some new expensive fashionable clothes for the photoshoot. I know you've got fashionable clothes in your wardrobe.....but yeah, we're gonna purchase new ones mainly for the photoshoot".

Looking at Mark and Ben's facial expression, Dylan could tell that their minds were busy 'cause of what he just said.....so he quickly chipped in once again.

"If you guys are thinking about the funds that would be used in doing all these, well, don't worry about that....all bills on me".

"Money is not the issue here, why are you doing all these Dylan?". Mark queried.

"Didn't I tell you I wanna help you achieve your topmost heart desire, and that's attaining fame? well, I am showing it not by words only, but by actions too".

"What if after doing all these stuff with your money, and it doesn't add a single impact to my music career, what would you do?". Mark inquired of Dylan with true concern, he knew that all of Dylan's effort and money will only result in nothing. What hasn't he done in the past to attain fame?.

"As I said earlier, if it doesn't work out, we try out my next idea, we would keep on trying until something comes out of it...nonstop relentlessness".

Mark sighed, he knew that the possibility of all these not working out was very high. He doesn't want a situation whereby Dylan had wasted a lot of money, and none of his ideas were fruitful, all were fruitless...that would be so bad. But since Dylan was bent on helping him even if it cost him money, there was nothing he could do about it. The most important was for him to attain fame as an artiste, and since Dylan wants to be of great help in achieving that, he appreciated his efforts a lot.

"So when are you taking Mark to the boutique and photographic studio?". Ben asked Dylan.

"That should be tomorrow, be fully prepared Mark". Dylan retorted.

"Sure, I'll be fully prepared". Mark uttered nodding his head in understanding.

After that, the three of them discussed other kinds of stuff and topics. Ben and Dylan talked about the experience of being a music producer, the negative and positive things they had experienced in their years of producing music. Mark asked Ben how the production of Harry's album went, and Ben replied him saying that it went well and smoothly.....except for the unpleasant stuff that took place.

Ben had somewhere to go, he had some production of songs to engage in, so he hastened the conversation that was taking place between him and them and put it to a climax. Mark and Dylan set a perfect meeting time for tomorrow's activities before the three of them departed to their different destinations.
