Does your audience really know WHO you are? While social media seems to encourage people to share a lot of personal details, that seldom leads to the kind of authentic connection that results in long-term commitment to your platform or creative business. The fact is, a lot of us don’t really tell the whole story of our creative lives well. If we show up to our audiences: Only when we’re selling somethingOnly sporadicallyOnly in social media...Then we’re making a big mistake and missing the chance to truly connect with the people we want to impact. What you’ll learn from this episode: Why connecting with our audiences must be a two-way streetWhy inconsistent connections don’t build relationshipsWhy social media actually keeps you from building deep connectionsWhy email is the best way to build deeper connections with your audienceHow to use email to make a bigger impact on your listeners. LinksStart to build your email list and make real connections with your audience for FREE at ConvertKit godandgigs.com/convertkitJoin our new creative hub to empower you to take your career to the next level, while never going it alone again!
