ADVICE

Start Writing Daily

  • Start a daily email and write for the questions your clients actually ask.
  • Spend 5–10 minutes daily; expect ~18 months to become a recognized authority.
ANECDOTE

From Dormant List To Business Audience

  • Jonathan revived a small, mostly dormant mailing list from his technical blog and book audience.
  • That audience later shifted from tech topics to business topics and grew during his book launch.
