How do we share the work we create?
Sep 09, 2021 4:55 am
This week I'm taking inspiration from Jason Fried, Founder & CEO at Basecamp, HEY, and serial author of books like Rework. In his latest post on HEY World (a new blog platform he created), Jason launched a new series called Heard Something, Read Something, Saw Something—go check it out.
I am a fan of mixed-media consumption myself, so I chose to do the same below. Let me know your thoughts with a reply.
📚 Show Your Work | Austin Kleon
Show Your Work! is a guide on self-promotion. It explains how we can share our creations, refined or unrefined, to gain a following organically. There are quotes and stories in the text to make it feel especially tangible. Here's a quote & strategy that I used in this newsletter:
"It’s always good practice to give a shout-out to the people who’ve helped you stumble onto good work and also leave a bread-crumb trail that people you’re sharing with can follow back to the sources of your inspiration." - Austin Kleon, Show Your Work!
Can you share a shout-out you're proud of?
