Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows a way where I can start posting my box office predictions somewhere and make money out of it and get more people to start reading them. As you all know, I put lots of detail and analysis into my predictions and I really want to put the hard work into good use by making money out of it and getting more people to read them. Any suggestions??
I live in Canada and go to University...

I don't know how efficient this might be but ideas from my side:
1.) Get a twitter Id. Start talking to the trade pundits or those who work for trade magazines, try discussing with them. I have seen them replying sometimes to those who make pertinent points. If they show signs of noticing/recognising you or your tweets and acknowledging you, then send them links of your predictions.

2.) Start a blog for your predictions and reviews. Many people get noticed thanks to blogs. Get a twitter Id and promote your blog on twitter. Time to expand beyond IF. But do not forget to advertise your blog and twitter Id on your IF siggy lol.

3.) Join a smaller site or new trade magazine even if they do not pay. You write for IF anyway, so you might as well write for them. Could help in giving you some experience and helping you get noticed.

As I said, they can't help you get a job immediately but one has to start from somewhere, so here are my ideas.

All the best! :)

Edited to add:
Posting predictions on a blog will also help you make a bit of money cos of the ads.

These sound like some amazing ideas! Thank you 😃
A friend of mine also suggested starting with Twitter and now I think its something I should seriously start doing! I will keep in mind all your suggestions!

^^^ You are welcome. BTW, I edited to add one more point about benefit of writing a blog in my previous post. I guess blog + twitter + IF would be good for a start.

Instead of doing your work on twitter or blog and trying to get noticed - which may require a lot of time, I would advise you to be a bit more aggressive and approach big websites. There are websites like supercinema, krkboxoffice, boxofficecapsule etc where they have some bandwidth dedicated to BO predictions. Approach them, show them your work (on I-F, with links), and persuade them into hiring you. Good luck. 😊

P.S. Even if you do not get anywhere, you will always meet some key people in the process, so you should seize the opportunity to do some networking, so that in the future if there is a requirement, they will revert to you.

Get on Social Media . Facebook , Twitter all that good stuff . Start giving out like Crazy and then stop . Then people will be like where'd our resident BO expert go. Then they will pay for more 😉😉😉

Its supply and demand

@nikitagmc Ya I've read the part that you edited in. Thanks for the tips 😊

@OrganizedChaos Thank you for your advice too! I definitely agree with that as well that approaching the bigger websites will be a great step in helping me!


@Franco Agreed! Social media is huge in today's time and I should take use of it, and at the same time I should also try approaching some of those bigger websites that OrganizedChaos mentioned as well.


Once again thanks for your guys' help!

Start with twitter, facebook simultaneously, post your predictions...

while tweeting, tag indicine, krk, BH etc...

Communicate with big names within khan fans like- srk haters ko maaro, hipstersrk, salmanssoldier and so on.. they have thousands of followers themselves...

if ur predictions turn out accurate everytime, these fans will start to treat you as god😆
