The Hardest Lesson I Learned Building An Audience of 30k

Building an audience of 30,000 sounds great, right?
But here’s the truth: I didn’t start with a plan.
I spent months spinning my wheels, trying to grow with random strategies.

Spoiler alert: It didn’t work.

Then I learned one hard lesson that changed everything.

At the beginning, I was everywhere:

• Posting about anything and everything.

• Copying what I saw others doing.

• Hoping something would stick.

It felt like shouting into the void. No one was listening, and I couldn’t figure out why.

I thought the solution was more content, more engagement, more hustle.
But the real problem? I wasn’t giving my audience a reason to follow me.

The lesson that changed everything:
You don’t grow by chasing followers…you grow by solving problems.

When I stopped focusing on myself and started focusing on my audience, things shifted.
I asked:

• What questions are they asking?

• What challenges are they facing?

• How can I give them a quick win today?

Every post became about them, not me. And that’s when the momentum started.

I stopped trying to go viral. Instead, I created posts that were:

• Practical: People could take action immediately.

• Relevant: Aligned with their biggest pain points.

• Consistent: They could count on me showing up.

If you’re struggling to grow, here’s how to apply this lesson:

1. Get crystal clear on your audience.
   Who are they? What do they need? What keeps them up at night?

2. Speak their language.
   Use their words, not jargon. Meet them where they are.

3. Solve one problem at a time.
   Every post should help your audience achieve a win, no matter how small.

Building an audience doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.
