Step 1
Write and work on your material continually. To get your comedy career going and sustain it, you need to be continually sharing with the world the thoughts that come into your head. As you practice this, you'll likely find you have material about nearly everything.
-
Step 2
Figure out who you are and live it. You need to understand the essence of you. Some comedians are more like George Burns and others are like Dane Cook. Every comedian has a niche, and you need to find yours in order to properly market yourself both on MySpace and offline.
-
Step 3
Start taping yourself. Give the videos you make of your comedy act your signature and branding. Just as "Punk'd" and "Jackass" have their own styles, so should your videos.
-
Step 4
Create your MySpace Comedy page. Pay close attention to the detail of setting up the page, making sure it projects the image you're trying to create. Get creative with backgrounds and wording. Most important, your page should be funny and stand out from a normal MySpace page that boasts activities and heroes in a generally boring manner.
-
Step 5
Add your videos to your page, but not all at once. Slow-release your work so that your audience keeps coming back and thinks you're coming up with work continually, even if you're not. Post a bulletin every time you release a new video.
-
Step 6
Network and look for friends on MySpace throughout your career. Use your MySpace URL to direct traffic to your site, gain more friends and get yourself viewed through MySpace's unlimited networking potential.
-
Step 7
Do stand-up comedy shows and record them. You should be performing live and notifying your MySpace friends via bulletins and blogs where they can see you next. Share your MySpace page at your shows.
