I saw an ad the other day for a Netflix show I’d never heard of, and it looked really good.
And at the end of the ad it said “Stream Season Two beginning next week”.
Which tells us a couple important things…
1. There’s a Season One. An entire season that I can stream right NOW. The show looks good and I can consume a lot of it immediately. That’s exciting.
2. The powers-that-be deemed the show good enough to warrant a Season Two…so Season One must be good! Else there wouldn’t be a Second One. For all the new great TV shows these days, there’s not a lot of mercy for the ones that don’t work.
Those are two pretty good selling points that didn’t exist when the show first started.
The show had to evolve in order to garner those particular advertising strengths.
So keep your eyes open. Your career is in flux. New advantages will come to you as you keep going, and if your eyes are open you can fully capitalize on them.
