I've noticed with my past clients & many people around me on the internet a need for someone to continuously encourage you to post (#pushthedamnbutton), to audit your content, & to fight the aloneness feeling when you don't get the amount of engagement you were expecting. This is for the person who already knows how to use social media, but just feels out of topics, inspiration, or courage to get the ish out the door. My expectation is that you'll produce at least one post per week from being in the group. There will be other bennies as well, but know that this cohort will be mostly about accountability as opposed to a group coaching program.
We've also added a video meeting portion as needed, last time we chatted about affiliate links, website branding, and more!
Patreon will actually be quite active in the near future, with a restart of the pod, an introduction of the blog (close friends on IG you know what this might be about ;-)), and more on Soliloquy.

Violinist Aja Majkrzak: A Snapshot in Time: I'm making my way through the 30 Mazas etudes for violin. Every Monday I'm releasing a video of me sight reading the etude to Patreon. Then I'll use that video to diagnose what to work on through the week and release a video on YouTube by the following Sunday. The idea is to share my process and what kind of progress can actually be made in one week. Like any live performance, these videos are just a snapshot in time.
