For The Interested - FTI #364: Back in 2015...
I used to be uncomfortable sharing my ideas.
Just found this note I wrote to myself on Dec. 1, 2015.
I hope it helps you see you're not the only one who struggles to put yourself out there.
It's a journey, but you can get there.
Life on the other side is pretty cool.
Now, on to this week's ideas...

The Starting Five
1. How The Most Generous Creator I Know Operates
Including how he built his audience, became the center of an active and supportive community, and figured out what products to create.
2. My Take On The Art Of Audience Growth
I was interviewed on the Become A Writer Today podcast and shared my thoughts on how best to provide value to an audience, leverage social media, and more.
3. 5 Questions You Need To Be Able To Answer If You Want To Sell Something
They're only basic if you actually know how to answer them - and lots of people don't.
4. An AI Tool That Helps You Create 30 Short Videos In An Hour
I tried this and it's pretty freakin' helpful.
5. The Head Of Instagram Reveals How Its Algorithm Works
Learn how stories, reels, and feed posts get ranked.
