Subscribe, and every week, I will show you how to build on the 7 Cult Commandments to help you be bold, stand out, and grow a cult following.

In this issue, we look at what it takes to become a Cult Leader by focusing on some more realistic leader traits than many others suggest (it's a little tongue-in-cheek), I also speak with acclaimed singer and YouTube Carrie Griffiths about her journey to grow her YouTube following and I outline how to grow a cult following if you have a coaching business.

If you want to dive deeper into the CultBrand method, check out the training, workshops, and challenge events that will be happening soon.

Unlike the LinkedIn crew's efforts, I 100% guarantee you can nail most of these.

[Watch] The truth about growing an audience on YouTube - with Carrie Griffiths

If you have a Polarising Message ready to go, a bunch of juicy Enemies ready to throw rocks at, and you're bursting to show potential cult followers how you're Different...

... the next step is picking the perfect Broadcast channel to bring it all together. (Cult Commandment No.4 - Thou shalt bang thy drum over and over and over...)

However, the reality of growing an audience on any platform is never as easy as it appears. To understand what it takes to build an audience, I jumped on a call with Carrie Griffiths, an international best-selling artist, voice coach, and now YouTuber, to discuss all things broadcast.

Carrie is a member of my Cult Leader Academy, and if you want to discover what you’ll likely experience as you develop mastery of a broadcast channel or platform (in real life rather than from the perspective of TikTok douchefluencers), this is worth watching.

Watch to discover…

• Why Carrie chose YouTube over all the other options available to build an audience
• Why you need to focus less on chasing fads and focus more on what you will do
• Why adherence is the only metric to measure (when you get started)
• How to build a cult following with a tiny audience (it's a cult following, duh...)
• Why numbers don't matter, only engagement and depth of connection and belonging
• Why experience is the best teacher (so stop dicking about and get started)
• Why your broadcast channel needs to have a clear message (and why it is important to never deviate - especially to try and get more likes, shares and subscribers)
