Yianni Stamas discusses how to
become more successful using
the NYC AIM empowerment system

Members of the Media Marketing Club sat down with consultant and educator Yianni Stamas of Video Film Web Studios to discuss strategies to become more successful.

MMC: What is the NYC AIM system?
YS: It is a technique that is an outgrowth of work we did with VFW Academy over several years. It is an approach to promoting yourself or others that combines the strategies of marketing with the aesthetics and technological capabilities of digital media arts. NYC AIM is also sometimes called Digital Communication Arts.
MMC: how does the NYC AIM system actually help people become more successful?
YS: first off, it's all about the network. You and I and others can't succeed on our own. We need each other. We need to work together to make anything happen. Given that as a starting point, NYC AIM follows the philosophy that to get a job sometimes requires creating a job.

Job Creation

MMC: How do you create a job?

YS: the internet is full of infinite possibility for making money online.

  • This may not become your ultimate job, but it is a good focus if you are currently unemployed. You can do things like sell your own digital products online or those of others for a commission and in the process of doing this promote yourself as an expert. You can also start your own business and hire yourself. Of course all these things take time and education, but in many ways it is a mind set shift. Rather than looking at a job as a "thing" that you are trying to acquire, you approach the pursuit as an opportunity to build your visibility through internet marketing as an expert in your field. And if you leverage the money making power of the internet at the same time, you will make the process of seeking a position fruitful for you long term as well as in the moment. The old school way of looking for a job is all about the frustration of the obstacles you come up against. The NYC AIM approach is that you aim high and build the foundation to support that vision.
