Just posting things you want other people to see? Sharing everything, treating people like friends? Or maybe it's being extremely professional at all times. With audiences in the hundreds, 1000s, and millions, the old rules of what it means to be yourself in front of others don't apply anymore.\nWe have to recontextualize our self-presentation online, to be able to both feel like we are ourselves and to make our audiences feel that they get to see the real us. Unfortunately, this does not work with our traditional approach.\nWhen it comes to authenticity, the size of virtual audiences we can quickly build creates the need for a new and slightly different way of thinking about what it means to be our true selves in front of people who only get to see the surface. Here is how you can be authentic in a digital world.\nHere's the conversation with @dickiebush I reference: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/dickie-bush-the-power-of-digital-writing/\nThis episode is sponsored by Acquire.com\nThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/authenticity-in-the-digital-age/\nThe podcast episode: https://share.transistor.fm/s/ac0bd48a\nThe video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn1xXU0J3gU\nYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com\nPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcast\nNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletter\n\nMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/\nMy book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/\nMy course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.com\n\nHere are a few tools I use.
