Bryan is Ranting About Something: Patreon and the Value of Building Lasting Relationships

7/18/2023
It has been a while since I went completely off the cuff and just ranted about whatever was on my mind. On this week's episode I am going to talk about why I want more subscribers on Patreon, but maybe the right kind of subscribers. I want to build a relationship with people. That does not mean that I want a one and done kind of interaction. No! I want super-fans. The kind that come to my table at shows because they need my latest book and they bring friends. That means more to me than just money. It means I am connected with that person in a very real way! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the latest episode of All Things Writing!
