6. By reaching out to fans and using his
celebrity resources, Lil Dicky was able
to pull off one pretty epic video.
Lil Dicky went door to door, boat to
boat and club to club introducing
himself as “Lil D” asking people to
give him 15 minutes of their time.
Lil Dicky pleaded with strangers that
this video could get “tens of hundreds
of millions of views potentially” and
he’d link off to their company at the
end thanking them for letting him
shoot his video.
Though many people said no, he
persevered and was able to
