Note that you do not have to be / produce that which is scarce; the community gets 100% of the value from you connecting to it if it already exists if they were unaware of the existence, could not access it themselves, doesn't know they want it (but actually does), etc etc.

Experts are something which is often scarce and *very counterintuitively* experts often have a surfeit of opportunities to talk about the thing they devoted their career to in front of an engaged audience, so that's a repeatable offer you can make.

(Example: what do you think the median number of speaking requests outside academia the 100th most awesome professor in the United States gets per month, for some suitably squishy definition of awesome? My estimate is *zero.*)

I’m approaching 14K subscribers to a newsletter where all I did was gather the news from AWS. I wasn’t some expert, I was an aggregator. Granted, I did provide snark, but that’s not the actual value.

Hmm. Idk about value. You're one of my favourite people to follow for comments on AWS and general ops news including deeper problems which are hard to see. I didn't even know you had a newsletter until this tweet.

Honestly, the newsletter I started writing was a direct result of your advise to "create an audience". Providing the service of curated security news was enough to get ~6000 people to know my name. So thank you, Patrick :-)
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
