WTF: 24yr old prankster wins election 🫠

Hey Champ,

24 year old prankster wins election

I've got zero clue about politics.

But a couple of days ago my friends in the chat were raving on about some 24 year old YouTuber - Fidias - who got elected as an offical member of parliament.

I looked him up.

Zero promises.
Zero goals.
Zero know-how.
Zero ad campaigns.

But...

2,100,000 YouTube subs.
154,000 Tiktok followers.
236,000 Instagram followers.

All because he tried to hug Elon Musk, married a 20+ year old girl for 24 hours, and did some absolutely bizarre pranks to gain a following.

He's completely annihilated the internet. Sending shock waves into "conventional" political marketing.

Don't ask me about his views or what he plans to do. All I know is he'll be getting $10,000/mo to "learn" how to paddle the boat.

And his first promise is "we're hosting a party with DJs".

I tell you this because what he did have at the end of the day is a tribe of raving fans.

His content in my eyes is absolutely ridonculous.

But his authority and polarizing content is through the charts.

(I think this is a sociological learning for all of us).

I feel like we're living in a South Park episode.

Yet, this is the power of social media.

If we take the positive side:

1 offer
1 community
1 problem to solve

And one hell of a lot of fun putting yourself out there can make or break the deal.

Maybe Fidias has no model or way to monetize.

But at Modern Maker, we've certainly got all of that covered.

Think about the intention behind your marketing efforts.
Think about the purpose behind your bigger goal.
Think about the reason you show up every day.

Because if Fidias, a leprechaun type guy with zero knowledge can do it.

Imagine what YOU can do.

And if you need help attracting and converting your dream clients,

Modern Maker may be for you.
