People have to know you before they can like you. People don't know you.
It costs money to convince everyone how awesome you are. You don't have that much money.
The other way to do it is become a celebrity that people like first, then run for office. Television and movies can work. Or become a billionaire.
If I was starting a career in politics, I'd start by becoming a blockbuster movie billionaire actor.
Or run for a local office and write frequent letters to the editor with a populist slant and put up signs around town with my name on them.
