How, then, can you become popular? If you're starting out in the business, the big tendency is you can't afford an agent, a manager, or a publicist. The good news is, there are some free (but not cheap) ways that you can do yourself to promote your drag.
1. Create videos and post them on Youtube.
Put out your talent out there. But be interesting. You can even post vlogs (or selfie videos) and talk about something that your fans would like to know. Give them a sneak peek of your life and leave them wanting more. Learn from Adore Delano. Watch one of her videos.
2. Have a Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook account.
Use these sites to announce your latest bookings, give freebies, and interact with your fans.
3. Be friends with other drag queens.
You'll need the support of the community. Plus, you can gain a following if you're seen with other cool queens.
4. Have a drag mother.
The importance of having a drag mother cannot be overly emphasized. Read this for our explanation.
5. Always give something fresh and unexpected.
When you perform on stage, don't just be fierce. Perform like there's no tomorrow. If word about your impressive performance spreads, you'll gain a following.
6. Join RuPaul's Drag Race.
Drag Race is seen by many people around the world. 'Nuff said.
