You don’t need a certain number of followers, a “passive income,” a “monetization strategy” or “[1000 true fans](http://alesserphotographer.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=17ac74e26fc4e20c4b566f584&id=8f94b94dbd&e=f8ff271d01&ref=cjchilvers.com)” to justify sharing your work.  
  
All you need is 1.  
  
1 person liked my writing enough to hire me at my current company (that’s 15 years of salary and benefits so far).  
  
1 person liked my dating profile (which is most definitely a writing and photography project) enough to eventually marry me and start a family.  
  
1 person read my most recent book more than a year ago and decided to publish it to their customer list of 100,000+ people.  
  
1 fan could be your next business partnership, employer or spouse.  
  
1 fan justifies your next book, blog and podcast.  
  
1 fan can give your work all the meaning it ever needs.
