I’m hosting a SOCIAL MEDIA ESCAPE CLUB Zoom chat tomorrow - Saturday, May 6th at 12pm ET (free to all, space is limited, more info here) - and we’re going to talk about how we can reach fans without social media.
If you’ve got ideas, methods, stories, secrets - please share below in the thread.
And if you have zero idea, that’s okay - ASK! Reach out for help! Post your challenges and struggles.
I’ll be online most of the day, so I’ll drop in and reply and bounce ideas around with you. Let’s figure this out together, friends!
Keep it constructive, kind, and chill, please - it’s Friday!
Well...I just held our annual event but plotting more throughout the year. Myth: Only locals come to in-person events. Truth for us, anyway: They’ve come from as far as Australia.
"It can be scary to share creative work, but firing off tweets or pounding out blog posts can sometimes generate the affirmative responses that make it possible to keep working. It can also be a great way to find a creative community and let yourself be discovered."

YESSS... been thinking more and more about EVENTS. That is so rad!

See? Updating your own website counts, too!

Hot tip - you can reach your fans by sending them an email 😳
That's the only idea I've got. Looking forward to the chat tomorrow!
This was an eye opening video for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osv_Tmm3o80

Cool, thanks for sharing. I'll check this out!
