So you are a struggling actor, or an amateur writer, or a rookie in the field of music you hardly have to worry the way strugglers had to worry just 15 years back or so. The so called social networking sites and micro-blogging sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc have made struggling not so struggle-some task!!

Strugglers today get global opening. They get to interact with like minded people from all over the world which also opens before them global opportunity to prove their talents. Various online forums let you learn the tricks of the trades you are aspiring to pursue in. The social networking sites make you aware of the latest job opportunities and requirements, and then there are special communities and groups where even the experts tell you what you need to do to succeed in your field.

A typical day of a Bollywood struggler today starts by checking out the latest Twitter updates or Facebook updates by the various groups specifically meant for the newbie actors, singers, and so on. There are several such groups that keep updating the latest requirements to help the strugglers find placement in the tough world of Bollywood. Then there are several support groups helping newcomers find their ways out of the misleading clutter all around them.

Well renowned film director Subhash Ghai who also has a film school in Mumbai says that today the talents are respected; actors, musicians, and even the technicians get hired by globally recognized recruiters today. The talents from India get to compete with the world class players. He is quite right in saying this, as it is not just movies the newcomers have to focus upon, there are numerous other opportunities like film training institutes, grooming centers, etc.

But could a person do all this without the present day’s technology, without the presence of social networking and micro blogging sites like Facebook and Twitter? Certainly not, how can you think of keeping in touch with people residing far off from you? After all, one can’t think of flying to New York and taking the connecting flight to Paris in search of opportunities for artists and actors! In fact one can’t even think of taking a local train and move around Mumbai the film city the whole day long!!

But one can certainly think of clicking around various social sites and fixing up the meetings with Bollywood messiahs guiding on these sites as there are various Bollywood stars, especially directors and filmmakers who try contacting newbies for there movies using the social sites. That’s indeed a far more possible and practical way to fulfill your dream of turning into a Bollywood star one day!
