Build in Public — Even With 0 Followers

Last issue, we talked about making your first $100 with a small audience.
Now let’s zoom out:
How do you grow that audience in the first place?

Answer: Build in public.
Not for the algorithm, but to build trust.

Building in Public 101

👀 Start small
→ Tweet or post 1x/day about what you're building, stuck on, or testing.

📸 Show your work
→ Share screenshots, metrics, mockups, polls.
→ Transparency = authenticity = trust

💬 Ask questions
→ “What would make this better?”
→ “Would you pay for this?”

📣 Celebrate milestones (big & small)
→ 10 subscribers? Post it.
→ First customer? Screenshot + thank them.

🧠 You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to be a few steps ahead of someone else.
