"Once they've turned every available inch of their account into one big, obnoxious ad for themselves, the [[Shameless Self Promoter]] will then go on the offensive. They may go slowly at first, one piece of ego stoking [[Self-Insert Fic]] here, one link to their boring website there, but eventually they will get to the point where they'll be starting whole threads based on some piece of crappy Fan Art they drew or [[Emo]] poem they wrote. These threads will typically go on for several pages (with half the posts being by the self promoter) and will only end when the [[Shameless Self Promoter]] stops getting praise and goes off to advertise themselves in a thread that people actually care about."

* Scott Sigler freely admits that being a [[Shameless Self Promoter]] is what propelled him from an unknown, unpublished writer to an acclaimed [[Podiobook]] superstar to a New York Times Bestselling author.
** Also true of Sigler's arch-nemesis J.C. Hutchins who rode his self-promotion all the way to having his podcast novel trilogy 7th Son optioned by Warner Bros.
* In-universe example: In ''[[Simon R. Green|Winner Takes All]]'', one of a [[Those Two Guys|pair of mercenaries]] who help to protect James Adamant has a sideline, writing chapbook adventure-stories and songs with himself as the hero under a nom de plume.

* The second-to-last episode of ''[[The Stan Freberg Show]]'', due to the lack of a corporate sponsor, was sponsored by [[Stan Freberg]] and filled with [[Parody Commercial|Parody Commercials]]s for himself.
