For a more in depth article about true fans, I recommend you read Kevin Kelly’s article “1,000 True Fans” (http://
www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2008/03/1000_true_fans.php ). Here’s what Kelly has to say about a true fan:
“A True Fan is defined as someone who will purchase anything and everything you produce. They will drive 200
miles to see you sing. They will buy the super deluxe re-issued hi-res box set of your stuff even though they have the
low-res version. They have a Google Alert set for your name. They bookmark the eBay page where your out-of-print
editions show up. They come to your openings. They have you sign their copies. They buy the t-shirt, and the mug,
and the hat. They can't wait till you issue your next work. They are true fans.”
Moreover, I found another great article about 1,000 true fans on this blog Collective Thoughts: Social Media Think-
ing (http://collective-thoughts.com/2010/01/26/1000-true-fans/ ) where Glen Allsopp describes who your true fans
are. According to Allsopp, your true fans are the people that:
• Talk about you
• Promote your work
• Use your products / services with pride
• Feel like they are a part of your brand and your community
When you think of building one thousand true fans, instead of thousands or millions of fans, the task becomes less
intimidating and less overwhelming.
Bottom line is, if we want real change in our business or businesses, we need to become real leaders of a tribe and
create unique bonding experiences within our community.
Through the multitude of social platforms, the web has broken the barriers for leadership. Facebook, like many other
social platforms, has made it easy for “aspiring tribe leaders” to build and nurture their own virtual communities.
With Facebook, people have the ability to create pages where people can interact and share their special interests.
Here’s a step by step process on how you can easily create your own page and start building your tribe.
Step #1: Open your facebook account and click on the “Home” tab.

that absolves ALL potential reasons for failure?”
