Network vs. fans

You need a network of fellow weirdos to go through this crazy existential existence with, grow with, learn with, and level up with, so you can reach success together.

You need fans who love your work, buy your work, and happily talk you up to their friends.

A network is a finite resource. You can’t have millions of people on your immediate network, because you have to nurture and care for it.

A good network has limits.

You can keep maybe 200 people in your close network at any one time, because you need to reach out and engage with them.

A fandom is infinitely scaleable because you do not have one on one interactions with them on a consistent basis, and when you do it’s often to address them as a group.

Hopefully, your network are fans of your work and vice versa, but they are two distinct things, and y’all be screwing up and thinking they are equated.

If you can’t break out of the “network=fans” mentality, you will never be successful.
