Stop Looking For Hacks To Grow An Audience And Do This Instead
Growing an audience is one of the most challenging goals when you start from zero.
Whether it’s growing on Twitter, YouTube, Medium, or making people subscribe to your newsletter, it’s only exciting and fun on week 1.
Then, you start feeling like you’re talking to 4 walls.
Most people will give up at this point because they feel like they’re wasting their time and no one wants to hear their stories. Others will start looking for hacks on how to grow fast with the least amount of effort.
Here’s the hard truth: Anyone can build an audience on any platform, but it needs work and time.
Want another punch in the face?
There are no short routes for this unless you get featured by a big influencer with +10 million followers (which most likely won’t happen).
Do you remember those old boring advice that tells you to put in the effort, share great content, be consistent, and be patient? Well, they still work in 2022!
Unfortunately, people don’t want to hear the truth that everything big in life needs a lot of work. People want to lay on their couch and see the $$$ adding to their bank accounts.
Can you mention one person who achieved something big in life without hard work?
I will let this sink in your head.
Then I want you to sit on your desk and follow these steps one by one:
1- Write your goal clearly. What do you want to achieve exactly? If you don’t know the answer, don’t move to the next step until you have a clear idea of what you want.
2- Set your system. How are you going to achieve this goal? Start from the top and go down. For example, if the goal is to build a YouTube channel with 100K subscribers, then the system is to post 2 videos every week.
3- Set your schedule. How many hours per week do you have for this goal? And what do you need to do in these hours to reach your goal? Block these times in your calendar and stick to them.
4- Ignore the numbers. Focus on providing high-quality content.
5- Stick to this plan until you post 100 pieces of content.
This, my friend, is how to build an audience on any platform. In fact, this is the secret sauce to achieving any goal in life.
