The author argues against this strategy of audience building: * remixing feel good content of others * trying to find a product fit by audience building * You know you're creating valuable content if you're scared before hitting the publish button (?) Hard to respond to the article because it's making a lot of unrelated points. Here's a rephrasing of some of the author's points and some of my thoughts on audience building: * building an audience of potential customers is powerful * vanity metrics (# of followers) are less important than engagement metrics * The building a Twitter audience course referenced in the blog post made $200,000 (https://twitter.com/dvassallo/status/1365962052469018626 https://twitter.com/dvassallo/status/1365962052469018626). It's a 90 minute powerpoint presentation with no editing. Shows how powerful building an audience and then selling to them is. Almost all the content I create is highly technical distributed data blogs and it's allowed me to find open source collaborators and get help on difficult bugs. Having the right audience is awesome.
