Episode 43: How to be a Writer Without Social Media Part 2 - In Person Events

This episode is week 2 of talking about ways to be a writer and either not be on social media at all, or limit your use of it. I continue the conversation with Jana Carlson and Rachel Baker about ways to use in person events and teaching as ways to grow our audience.

We talk about…

• The myth that we need to be extroverts in order to be effective teachers or speakers

• Ways to use teaching and speaking to grow our audience (even if it’s a small group!)

• How even online video teaching and events can be effective in this.
