One of the hardest elements of social media to replace is the community. Getting instant feedback from likes, comments, and DMs can be exhilarating…but also addicting and life-sucking. And while we know that meaningful engagement with your ideal reader is mostly a mirage on social media, those interactions served as a kind of guiding star for what was resonating with your reader.

So, when you step away from social media, how do you know what’s resonating? Today, we’re talking about our favorite way to gain valuable, reliable reader feedback: Reader Surveys! Listen in. For show notes, go to https://writingoffsocial.com/106

We talk a lot on this podcast about growing an audience without social media—but what does it actually look like when you take these strategies out of the podcast and put them into practice? Well, today’s guest can tell you. Sheryl Aeschliman, author, Bible teacher, and speaker, has taken what she learned from Writing Off Social and used it to grow her email list, build her platform, and connect with more readers—all without relying on social media. Today, she’s sharing which strategies worked, which didn’t, what surprised her along the way, and what she’d say to the writer who feels like nobody is noticing her work yet. Listen in!

If you’re a writer, you’ve probably heard some version of this: AI is here to stay, so you’d better learn to use it—or risk being left behind. But what if the greater risk isn’t refusing to embrace artificial intelligence—but allowing efficiency, convenience, and technology to replace something essential about the way God designed us to create?

This week we’re talking with Allen Arnold—author, creativity coach, fiction publisher of more than 500 novels, and co-host of the Wild at Heart podcast with John Eldredge. We’re talking about AI, social media, creative risk, and what it looks like to defy the artificial and create with the Creator. Listen in!
