Nick Gillespie: I get this question all the time, Hey, how do I get distribution as well? How can I build a following? And first of all, nobody is willing to actually do the work in real life to be interesting. Unless you're doing uncomfortable, exciting things that other people want to do, making money is one of those things. You're going to tweet about money and tweet about building businesses, but it turns out you've never actually tried it or done it. That's my first piece of advice to anybody who wants to get a following.
