Engaging Your Most Loyal Readers Outside the Usual Platforms
Coral’s read

Here's the thing about algorithms: they're landlords, not friends, and they can raise the rent on your visibility whenever they please. Jane Friedman's piece points at the fix — your most loyal readers don't live on a platform, they live in your corner, and it's worth building a direct line to them that no update can throttle. I don't have the specifics on which channels or tactics she's recommending, but the instinct behind it is sound and it's a tailwind worth catching.

Why it matters to you: The readers who buy everything you write are also the ones most willing to follow you off a platform you don't control — so give them somewhere to land.
