a lot of people ask me: “hey, i don’t have 5k followers. would i still be able to be considered for a guest position?” “i don’t have 10k followers, would they ignore my judging application?” “i just opened my instagram but i’ve been cosplaying and competing for years. does my follower count matter?” regardless of what that number is, it’s what *you* bring to the table. your years of sewing, build making, competing, cosplaying, judging, guesting. your portfolio. your skill set. your knowledge and experience. if instagram or tiktok or twitter die the way vine did, what does that number do for you? and what does your portfolio do for you? 😉 yes, from a marketing standpoint, bigger numbers could equal more attendees because more people are being influenced…buuuut not necessarily. don’t let your follower count decide what you try out for. some people may look at this and think it’s an attack on people with big follower counts — no not at all, not what i said at all. i follow lots of people with big follower counts because again: the follower count doesn’t matter. are they my friend? is their work amazing? are they funny? am i learning from them? am i being inspired or motivated by them? then of course i’ll follow, because that number doesn’t matter even if they have a large following. it’s what they bring to the table and what you can learn and obtain for yourself by following them. i get inspired by a lot of people, not because they have 3 followers or 3m followers. i get inspired by their work, personality, and their content. they help me want to do more. don’t beat yourselves up over an arbitrary number — cosplay and post for you, not for a number. don’t judge people because of their small or large follower count. and happy #nationalvideogamesday! 🕹️ tag your favorite cosplayers below to start a support thread, follower counts don’t matter 💕 #cosplay #retrovideogames #pokemon #finalfantasy7 #kingdomhearts3 #sonicthehedgehog #skiesofarcadia #videogamecosplay
