The whole concept of social media is a community, and that is what you will have to opportunity to create. By being a consistent presence on social media, you will build a group of committed listeners who will tell your friends and followers about you and so this community will only continue to grow. Although in the beginning, your follower count may be low, if you connect and stay in touch with your loyal fans, we can promise you that you are going to attract more people to join your journey.
