You Don’t Need An Audience
A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a student who was incredibly passionate about social change. He had very strong beliefs and opinions and really wanted to connect with people who supported his beliefs and wanted to make a change.
After spending almost an hour with him, I asked if he had a blog. He said he didn’t because he didn’t have an audience. I shocked him a bit when I told him that he needed an outlet – not an audience – to share his thoughts.
When I first started my blog, I wasn’t sure what to write about. I had a conversation with @malcolmbastien, and he made me realize that I just needed to write about topics that were important to me.
I encourage you to do the same. Focus first on creating good, valuable content – an audience will come later.
