Beginner writers use the excuse, “Easy for you to say—I don’t have a huge audience” to keep themselves from getting started. 1. Your favorite writer/creator started at 0. 2. Social platforms are the ultimate democratization of reach & influence. 3. If no one is reading your work, it’s not the platform’s fault. It’s a skill bottleneck you need to improve. 4. An audience is not a leading indicator. It’s a lagging indicator, and a reflection of your content library.
