Because it’s impossible to know when you might go viral or get famous, it’s useful to have some sort of digital infrastructure set up in advance.
For example, if you’re an amateur artist, crafter, or baker who wants to get famous, you should definitely consider what impression your online presence gives off. It makes perfect sense to have a professional-looking website where you can feature your portfolio, contacts, and pricing (e.g., if you do commissions). The easier it is for potential clients to get in touch with you, the less ‘friction’ there is in communication, the better for your burgeoning business.
Furthermore, you probably want to link all of your socials together. For instance, you can feature links to your social media pages (Instagram, X, TikTok, Facebook, whatever else you prefer) on your website. Meanwhile, you can add a link to your site in the bio of your social media pages. That way, no matter what online platform someone finds your work, they can easily navigate to your site and buy whatever it is you’re selling.
