Faux Pas Fame: Building a Brand with Bloopers
About this audiobook
Clumsy, awkward, and perpetually embarrassed? Congratulations, you’re one viral video away from internet stardom.
Meet Mimi Meme, the self-proclaimed Queen of Cringe and master of turning mortifying moments into meme gold. With her feathered sidekick Captain Cocky and a knack for catastrophe, Mimi’s about to teach you how to:
• Transform your daily disasters into trending topics
• Monetize your misfortunes (hello, sponsorships!)
• Navigate the cutthroat world of influencers without losing your soul (or all your dignity)
But when hunky stuntman Maverick Worthy slides into her DMs, Mimi faces her biggest challenge yet: balancing her budding romance with her brand of beautiful disasters. Can she level up from meme to mainstream without faceplanting her way out of love?
Get ready to laugh until you cry, cringe until you can’t look away, and be seen in ways you never thought possible. This zany self-help guide is your ticket to:
• Embracing your inner train wreck with pride
• Finding your tribe of fellow beautiful disasters
• Boosting your confidence by owning your awkward
• Learning to laugh at yourself (before others beat you to it)
Packed with more sass than your group chat and enough secondhand embarrassment to make you grateful for your own life choices, this misguided guidebook is a hilarious rollercoaster of relatable moments and “OMG, same!” revelations.
So grab your helmet, prep your apology templates, and get ready to live that #CringeLife to the fullest. Because in Mimi’s world, it’s not about how gracefully you fall—it's about how epically you fail upwards.
Where embarrassment is an art form, and you’re about to become a masterpiece.
Faux Pas Fame is the perfect guide for embracing your inner hot mess. Equal parts self-help and comedy gold, it’s a must-read for anyone who’s ever wanted to turn their awkward moments into memorable assets. Or just laugh out loud.
