How did you naturally build a dedicated audience? 

I keep hearing about 1,000 true fans

Conversion rates are usually abysmal, but having an influencer friend with a massive (100k+) interest-aligned audience seems to be the move

The reply guy move is a desperate trope.. build it & they will come is a fallacy

Advice?
