I have to look into Louis C.K.'s standup comedy. Drew Carey is good at promoting his personal brand. Another example is the app Just Sayin by Ricky Gervais.

I think there are a lot of standups doing interesting things like that. By the way - if you like Ricky Gervais, he plays Louie's doctor on the FX show - and is hilarious!

Hi Kasey,

I agree. This is a post on a topic that needs to be better understood by all entrepreneurs. Your content, expertise, and brand are what create the real value in your business. Too many entrepreneurs worry they lack the capital or assets to start their business. But many businesses without much in either of these departments have been successful anyway simply by focusing on the brand they create, and content is a huge part of that.

Yes! That’s why I think a content marketing strategy is the perfect match for a bootstrapping entrepreneur. Thanks for the comment, Heather!

Kasey,

They are brands. They are often entrepreneurs and innovators. They’ve been doing content marketing long before it became a buzz-worthy concept."

First, what a unique way to look at standup comedy and not necessarily the conventional thinking. Second, this is a great reminder that it is their content and brand that entrepreneurs really need to own!
