True fans are evangelists who do the leg work for you to grow your audience. They share and spread your message. They are critical and vital to your success.<br> Now stop listening to Miley Cyrus, and listen to John instead—a successful entrepreneur who knows the importance of building a community—not a wrecking ball!<br> About John Lee Dumas:<br> John Lee Dumas created the first ever 7-day-a-week podcast. Then he went on to create the world’s #1 online community for anyone wanting to create podcast shows.<br> His fan base is lovingly known as Fire Nation. Many of his fans have been listening to his podcasts since the beginning when John was kind of awful at hosting them. He was clueless and trying to do something, and that resonated with people. He improved over time and generated an amazingly loyal following.<br> Fire Nation represents an intimate connection he was able to form with a group of individuals that he interacts with on a consistent basis.<br> His audience tells him how to monetize. Listeners share their pain points and obstacles with him. His audience is the tipping point to bringing monetization. His audience tells him what they want in solutions and products.<br> Oh what a relief it is … when John provides valuable content to his audience. You, too, need to provide products, solutions, and content that benefits both you and your audience. Your audience is starving for something—starving enough to pay for products; if they are worthwhile and valuable.<br> However, John has not always been successful. He is authentic and transparent.
