Chapter 1: The Struggles of Writing in Isolation

Creating content online can often feel like launching a balloon into the sky; once released, you have no idea where it will land or if it will even burst. After three years of navigating the digital landscape, I can attest that building a business in this environment is quite peculiar.

Follower counts may look impressive on a screen, but they don't truly reflect the depth of your relationships. While comments may bubble to the surface, they seldom replace meaningful conversations. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of creators truly experience the benefits of online engagement.

You might hear advice like:

• Post three times daily
• Write consistently
• Engage with your audience regularly

...and then, supposedly, you'll go viral. Yet, after investing so much time, you might feel that the viral moment should have already occurred.

The harsh reality is that you may never feel like you've "arrived." What once seemed like monumental achievements will quickly become your new baseline. This underscores the importance of digging deeper into your creative process.

Write without the expectation of an audience, and you'll rediscover the joy of creation, akin to playing in a playground. However, as time passes, the desire to connect with others will inevitably grow. You'll seek out individuals who resonate with your work and share your vision.

The journey begins with writing for no one, gradually refining your focus until you find your audience. This approach will naturally attract those who align with your message, ultimately leading to a community of fans, customers, and genuine supporters.

To break free from the mental barrier of writing for an absent audience, you must first seek out your tribe.
