Lewis Howes adds that success in creative fields often requires active participation in both creating and joining communities 2.

If you want more likes and followers on your Instagram, like and follow more people. If you want people to show up to your art show, if you want people to subscribe to your business, then you need to participate in all these other things, because that's how this is built on effort.
