As writers and artists, we feel the drive to do meaningful work, but we get overwhelmed by the process of connecting with an audience. We follow best practices in marketing that never seem to pan out, don’t produce results, and make us feel lost and frustrated. But creating doesn’t have to feel this way. Be the Gateway offers practical, insightful ways to build real relationships with your audience. If you want to share your voice and inspire people with your writing, art, craft, or creative idea, you must unlock new experiences for them -- not just through what you create, but through the unique way in which you share it with the world. That is the gateway, the one you lead people through to introduce them to your world. This produces meaningful discussions and creates dedicated super fans.Replace the inclination to promote with the desire to share. How and why you create is a story -- and the best asset you can use to communicate why your work is unique. Rethink your priorities, develop a new outreach focus, and use a practical approach to connect with your audience. Be the Gateway shows you how, with joy and confidence in your authentic voice.
