For The Interested - FTI #296: It's been a long time coming.

I've helped people grow their audience and business for more than a decade.

And bit by bit I've found new and improved ways to do so.

The launch of Skill Sessions is the latest evolution and I'm super proud of it.

It's been a long time coming and I'm sure you'll find it valuable.

I'm thrilled to see how many people have already signed up and I hope you'll join us for this new adventure.

Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Now, on to this week's ideas...

Meanwhile, On Twitter...

Josh Spector @jspector Every time you tweet something your followers don't engage with, they become less likely to see your next tweet. It also hurts the overall perceived interest in your account within the Twitter algorithm. This creates a snowball effect. Which means... February 18th 2022 0 Retweets 9 Likes

My Final Words Of The Week

Have an interesting week!
