Share Something Small Every Day

Sharing a little piece of your work every day helps build a connection with your audience and gradually creates a substantial body of work.

It could be anything from what inspires you, methods you use, works in progress, or the final product.

The key is consistency.

Sturgeon's Law

Remember that 90% of everything is not great, so don't worry about making every post perfect.

Sharing regularly helps you get feedback and improve your work over time.

Even imperfect work can be valuable to others.

Focus on showing your work instead of personal content like pets, food, or selfies.

Share what you're working on to keep your audience engaged and interested in your creative process.

Use a simple decision-making process to decide whether to share something.

This helps you maintain a high quality of shared content.

"Flow" refers to the constant stream of daily updates, while "Stock" is the durable content that stays valuable over time.

Balance both by regularly updating and creating long-lasting content.

Having your own website or blog is crucial.

It gives you control over your online presence and allows you to build a portfolio of your work over time.

Unlike social networks, your personal website is your own space that no one can take away.

Invest time and effort into building and maintaining your online presence.

While social networks come and go, your own website provides a stable and enduring platform for your work.

Consistently share your work and maintain your online presence.

Over time, your space will reflect your growth and evolution.

Stick with it and let it change as you do.

Focus on doing good work and maintaining a clean reputation.

Over time, a good name becomes its own form of currency.

Your online presence should be a reflection of your best self and your best work.

Start Small and Be Consistent: Begin by sharing a small part of your work every day. This could be a social media post, a blog update, or a quick video. The key is to do it consistently to build a habit and a following.
Don't Strive for Perfection: Embrace the idea that not everything you create will be perfect. Share your work regardless and use the feedback to improve. Remember, 90% of everything is not perfect, and that's okay.
Focus on Your Work: When deciding what to share, prioritize your work-related content over personal posts. Show your creative process, your projects, and your progress to keep your audience engaged and interested.
Create Your Own Website: Invest in building your own website or blog. This space should serve as your online portfolio, a place to showcase all your work. Having your own domain gives you control over your content and its presentation.
Balance Daily Updates with Long-lasting Content: Regularly share daily updates to stay in touch with your audience (Flow) while also creating content that remains valuable over time (Stock). This balance will help you build a rich and engaging online presence.

By following these steps, you can effectively share your work, build a strong online presence, and create a lasting impact with your audience.
