-Find what you want to do and DO IT. -Find online or irl communities that are doing similar things to you or things you want to do. -Make small pleasantries with people, don't go out the woodwork just trying to network. -Slowly build connections and relationships with people around you. -BE NICE.

What is your advice for getting the connections you have?

Everything you see me doing today is because I WANTED to do it, no matter how low the success rates of them would be. I researched, I put the work in, I reached out and connected with people and have now built my platform to be independent from social media.

And please note, this is not a "get rich quick" advice. You will spend years doing this. I've been professionally cartooning for over 10 years and only now am I seeing some proper payoff for all the work put into things. It may take you less time, maybe even more time. But you have to do it anyway.
