Direct-to-fan & superfans · Lesson 1 of 6
The audience you own vs the audience you rent
Every listener you have reaches you through a channel, and those channels fall into two groups: ones you control and ones that control you. Platform followers are rented — the platform decides who sees you, and it can change that overnight. Email addresses and members are owned.
What you’ll be able to do
- Tell owned and rented audience apart across your channels
- See why follower counts are a weak measure
- Pick the one metric worth improving first
- Start moving attention to a channel you control
