Quirky Sells
June 17, 2015
I was lazing around on the couch this morning flipping through The New York Times Magazine when I ran into an article about the latest Youtube sensation.
Tyler Oakley is a young, gay man who posts videos about the stuff he thinks about on a day-to-day basis. And he gets MILLIONS of views because he puts himself out there in this endearing, quirky way. He’s actually refreshingly sweet.
I think what makes him particularly worthy of study is his bravery. He lets it all hang out, even though there are lots of folks out there who would like nothing better than to make fun of him, and tear him down.
But just look at him! Don’t you love his innocence?!
Why not take a page or two out of his play book and just be you?
