Kurs pokazuje krok po kroku jak zbudować grupę czytelników zamiast czekać, aż sami się znajdą. Najbardziej przydał mi się fragment o budowaniu listy mailingowej i planowaniu treści na dłuższy okres. Zacząłem wdrażać te kroki od razu po drugim rozdziale i widzę pierwsze efekty w statystykach mojego newslettera.

This walks you through building a reader base step by step instead of just throwing generic marketing tips at you. The section on turning a small email list into actual book sales was especially useful for me. Wish there was a bit more on paid ads, but overall a solid practical course for writers.

ผมเป็นนักเขียนที่ไม่เคยรู้เลยว่าจะสร้างกลุ่มผู้อ่านยังไง คอร์สนี้สอนตั้งแต่ศูนย์จริงๆ ตั้งแต่หาคนอ่านกลุ่มแรกไปจนถึงเปลี่ยนพวกเขาให้มาซื้อหนังสือและคอร์สของเรา ส่วนที่ชอบมากคือการวางระบบอีเมลเพื่อดูแลผู้อ่านอย่างต่อเนื่อง ทำให้รู้สึกว่ายอดขายไม่ได้มาจากโชค พออ่านจบแล้วลองทำตามทีละขั้น ตอนนี้มีรายชื่อผู้ติดตามที่สนใจงานเขียนของผมจริงๆ แล้วครับ คุ้มค่ามาก

Sebagai penulis pemula yang belum punya pembaca sama sekali, materi ini benar-benar membuka mata saya. Dijelaskan langkah demi langkah cara menumbuhkan audiens dari nol sampai akhirnya mereka mau membeli buku dan kursus kita. Bagian yang paling saya suka adalah strategi konten yang konsisten dan cara membangun kepercayaan sebelum menjual apa pun. Saya juga jadi paham kenapa selama ini promosi saya gagal, ternyata urutannya salah. Sekarang daftar email saya pelan-pelan bertambah dan beberapa sudah jadi pembeli. Sangat saya rekomendasikan untuk penulis yang serius.

Sıfırdan sadık bir okuyucu kitlesi oluşturma konusunda gerçekten işe yarayan adımlar var. Özellikle e-posta listesi kurma ve içerik takvimi kısmı çok net anlatılmış, hemen uygulamaya başladım. Yazarlık işini gerçek bir gelire dönüştürmek isteyenler için harika bir başlangıç.

คอร์สนี้ทำให้เข้าใจเลยว่าการสร้างฐานผู้อ่านตั้งแต่ศูนย์ต้องเริ่มจากตรงไหน ไม่ได้พูดกว้างๆ แต่ลงรายละเอียดเรื่องการทำอีเมลลิสต์และการวางแผนเนื้อหาอย่างเป็นระบบ ที่ชอบมากคือตัวอย่างจริงจากนักเขียนที่ขายหนังสือได้ผ่านการสร้างชุมชนผู้อ่าน ทำตามไปทีละขั้นแล้วเห็นผลใน feed ตัวเองจริงๆ ใครที่เขียนหนังสือหรือทำคอร์สอยู่แล้วแต่ยังไม่มีคนติดตาม แนะนำให้ลองดูเพราะอธิบายเป็นขั้นตอนเข้าใจง่ายมาก

Kitap satmaya çalışırken en çok zorlandığım kısım okuyucu bulmaktı, bu kurs tam olarak o boşluğu dolduruyor.

Yazarların kendi kitaplarını satarken izleyici kitlesi kurmasını bu kadar sistemli anlatan başka bir kaynak görmemiştim.

शुरुआत से वफादार पाठक वर्ग बनाने का पूरा तरीका बहुत अच्छे से समझाया गया है, खासकर न्यूज़लेटर बनाने वाला हिस्सा बहुत काम आया। बस थोड़ा और उदाहरण होते तो पूरी तरह परफेक्ट होता, फिर भी लेखकों के लिए काफी व्यावहारिक कोर्स है।

Il modo in cui spiegano come trasformare i lettori occasionali in una vera community affezionata è stato illuminante, l'ho trovato super utile per il mio primo ebook.

독자층 키우는 법은 좋은데 예제가 조금 적어요

Le module sur la construction d'une liste d'emails pour vendre ses livres est vraiment concret, même si j'aurais aimé plus d'exemples pour les auteurs de fiction.
