You’ve just written perhaps the best thing ever written on the internet. You hit the “publish” button and you sit back and await your fame and fortune.

But, nothing happens.

Why?

Hitting the Publish button, in many ways, is just the first step in creating content. In this episode, I dig into what happens after you hit Publish. This is where the real work starts.

You’ll hear 2 key objectives when sharing your content…

1. Don’t be annoying
2. Get it in front of people

You’ll also hear about various distribution strategies including email lists and social media channels. The strategies I share come from years of blogging and my personal methods for growing readership.

In addition, I share techniques for planning out the time between posts and how you can take advantage of automated tools.

And I touch on THE most important aspect…the follow-up. Make sure you engage with your readers. Join the conversation and enjoy the value you receive as much as the value you provide.
