So I'm active about trying to grow my fanbase, and really am seeking to increase my audience and empower my art, "The Work." This is mostly my books and my music, but it could also encompass my lyrics and poetry as well, not to mention the battle card game system a few artists are now working on. I've got the damn thing written out, just gotta get it to the point where it can be printed out by a normal printer and tested by some beta gamers. I do believe in QC. SO! I've noticed I've gotten some activity here on Steemit, and would like to see if there's anyone I can go to for shoutouts and such. I'm sharing certain content here and will continue to do so. What's the best way, though, to actively get others to subscribe to me, here and elsewheres? To purchase my books and music, and to empower me to continue on with my various works...how best to do this? By all means, point me to the right person here on Steemit. I've discovered a couple of pretty good peoples to go to (@minnowpond especially), but are there others? What do I do from here? I really do want to grow, and there has to be a way to increase my fanbase and get people buyin' my stuff without selling my soul. Do help me find this balance. ~Thomas Duder, Author of the Things P.S. - If you make a suggestion outside of Steemit and I point out that I've done that already, please don't hold that against me. You'd be surprised at what I've already tried in the six years I've been at things, yo.
