You know what sucks?
Spending years building a following on social media only for some megalomaniac to spill coffee on his keyboard one day and delete all your hard work.
Know what else sucks?
Spending hours a week writing content that no one reads.
Know what can solve both those problems?
Email.
Wait, what?
That's right baby, email remains the King. The GOAT of distribution. The king of goats!
If you want to own your audience, increase engagement with your products, and truly control your destiny as an indie maker, then by-golly you're going to want to build yourself an email list.
"But how!" I hear you yelling at your screen.
By joining the first Indie Worldwide hosted challenge of 2023 of course.
