Free Workshop: How to Build an Audience for Your Business, Your Art, or Your Writing

I spent the last 4 days at an entrepreneurship retreat in Colorado. One day, we were asked an interesting series of questions:

If you spent the next 20 years creating the most beauty in the world that you possibly could, how would you do it?
If you spent the next 20 years creating the most knowledge in the world that you possibly could, how would you do it?
If you spent the next 20 years creating the most good in the world that you possibly could, how would you do it?

I wrote down my answers, and then the next question came…

In the same 20 years, if you had to increase your impact by 10x — spread 10x the beauty, 10x the knowledge, and 10x the good — how would you do it?

My initial answers focused on what I could create: I would take photos to create beauty, write articles to spread knowledge, and build a business to do good in the world.

But if I wanted to multiply that impact by 10x?

After thinking for a moment, I realized the answer: to teach. I can only take so many photos, but if I taught 10 people how to take great pictures … that would increase the beauty by 10-fold. The same is true if I taught 10 people to write or 10 people to build a business.

And then I realized that one strategy would help spread more beauty, knowledge, and good all at the same time: teach others how to spread their work far and wide. Teach others how to build an audience.

And that is exactly what I’m going to do in a free workshop next week. Let me tell you what’s going to happen and why I’m the right person to do this.

Free Workshop: How to Build an Audience

Some people may already know this, but if you don’t: my work on JamesClear.com has spread incredibly quickly.

From the time I posted my first article 18 months ago, our community has grown from 0 readers to over 70,000 email subscribers. To the best of my knowledge, that’s the fastest growing single-author blog on the planet. [1]

But it wasn’t always that way. When I started my first business idea almost 4 years ago, I totally failed. I paid $1,600 to have an iPhone app built and when it launched nobody downloaded it. To this day, it has generated $117 in revenue.

What was the difference between then and now?

In the beginning, I had no audience to share my work with. I figured, “If I build it, they will come.” And I was wrong.

I’ve learned a lot since that time — especially when it comes to building an email list to share your work, your art, or your business with the world.

The simple fact of the matter is that there are tons of people out there with great ideas, fantastic work, and good hearts … but their hard work never gets seen. This workshop will help change that.

What Would the World Look Like?

Imagine what the world would look like if everyone who wanted to share meaningful work had a platform for doing so.

If every coach and consultant could reach the people that needed their help.
If every artist could share their work with an audience that loved it.
If every entrepreneur could find the people their business was built to serve.

How much better would the world be? How much more beauty and knowledge and good would be spread?

Our community is a team. And as a member of that team, I want to do whatever I can drive your success and spread more beauty, knowledge, and good in the world. Sometimes that means sharing strategies for making you more productive. Sometimes that means spreading the science of how to build good habits. And this time it means teaching the lessons I’ve learned about building an email list, so that you can share your work, your art, and your projects with people who can benefit from them.

The workshop will be called “How to Get 100 Email Subscribers Per Day.” I’ll share my top 3 tips for building an an email list and I’ll show you how to implement them.

There may be a faster growing single-author blog that I haven’t heard of. The main point isn’t to make a competition out of it. It’s simply to share that I’ve learned a lot about growing an audience online. That said, if you know of a faster growing site, I’d love to know about it so that I can learn from them. Feel free to share in the comments.
