In Writing at the Red House, we talk about social media and platform building in terms of service. How do you serve your audience? Is content creation a chore for you, or are you passionate about your topic and your people?

Today Kathi and Red House director Lori Young help us think through creating the habit of serving our audience. They also discuss the arrival of Jack Jack the Rooster to the Red House. Isn’t he handsome?

As you seek to serve your audience, these are some questions to consider:

Why are you passionate about your message?

What exactly is your message?

Where and what does your audience need to hear from you?

Do you need a place to discuss these questions? Figure out your why, find your passion, and learn how to share it with the world in the Red House Writers Collective.
