How a writer started and quickly grew his audience . . . in East Africa!

A little while back I saw this post in the BookCamp Facebook group:

This caught my attention, so I reached out to George to hear more of his story.

It turns out, George, his wife, and four children live in Burundi, a very poor country in East Africa just south of Rwanda. They’re missionaries who are helping train up Burundian doctors.

I thought, “Wow, if George can do this in Burundi, where WIFI is often spotty and he’s doing the hectic work of a missionary on a medical team, surely the rest of us can do it too!”

I really enjoyed connecting with George and think you will too. In this interview you’ll find out:

How he picked up his first 100ish email subscribers
The BookCamp tactic he used to add another 40 to 50 subscribers in less than an hour
Why social media posts by themselves aren’t enough to grow your audience
How writing emails to your list can improve manuscript!
The method I recommended to George so that he can keep growing his email list (it involves Facebook)
And much more!

Here’s the conversation . . .
