Master the Pyramid of Fandom

Building a loyal follower base is no easy feat. It takes time, dedication and strategy to create and retain fans that will follow you no matter what. However, you’ll never build a loyal fan base without mastering the “pyramid of fandom.” 

Pat Flynn, CEO of Flynndustries and the host of Smart Passive Income, claims that fans aren’t created the moment people find you. They’re created by the moments you create for them over time. If you want to move fans from casual audience members to superfans who put your brand on blast every chance they get, you’ve got to put the work in.

Your superfans are your biggest supporters. They’ll promote your brand far and wide, tell their friends about you and engage with you in many different ways. Your superfans are out there, you just need to connect with them and provide them with magical moments that keep them coming back for more.
