One hundred issues. Forty thousand outlets. One hundred and six countries. Not one of them reached by posting.
A gate stops a thing being passed around, and being passed around was the only thing that worked.
One hundred ways to be seen without feeding an algorithm, set out in ten chapters: private groups, rooms worth walking into, other people’s publications, borrowed audiences, email, print, public generosity, industry bodies, deliberate word of mouth and the channels you own. Thirty are marked We did this — those are the thirty that built DWC Magazine. Work through it one chapter at a time.
Your free offer in front of the DWC retail audience for three months, in print and online — with the name of everyone who says “tell me more” delivered to you weekly. Done for you, and a full refund if your page captures zero leads.
Three questions, and one hundred ways becomes three chapters.
Answer these and the list tells you where to start, in the order that pays soonest for a business shaped like yours.
1. Who pays you?
2. Do your customers need to be near you?
3. Where is your email list?

Three moves, done properly, beat thirty half-started.
