Or imagine something simpler and just as satisfying: spending the majority of your time, energy, and attention practicing a craft, learning a trade, or running a business, while also allowing for the possibility that your work might attract a group of people who share your interests. All you have to do is show your work. 1. You Don’t Have to Be a Genius A book for people who hate the very idea of self-promotion. An alternative, if you will, to self-promotion. How to think about your work as a never-ending process, how to share your process in a way that attracts people who might be interested in what you do, and how to deal with the ups and downs of putting yourself and your work out in the world. Imagine if your next boss didn’t have to read your résumé because he already reads your blog. Imagine being a student and getting your first gig based on a school project you posted online. Imagine losing your job but having a social network of people familiar with your work and ready to help you find a new one. Imagine turning a side project or a hobby into your profession because you had a following that could support you. We’re always being told find your voice. When I was younger, I never really knew what this meant. I used to worry a lot about voice, wondering if I had my own. But now I realize that the only way to find your voice is to use it. It’s hardwired, built into you.I personally find other creative people who share their work as a process are the ones I’m often more engaged with. Don’t Turn into Human Spam In ten tight chapters, I lay out ways to think about your work as a never-ending process, how to build an audience by sharing that process, and how to deal with the ups and downs of putting yourself and your work out in the world: Like any creative individual, if you’re worth following people will follow you, they will like your content and leave comments when they have something to say. After the runaway success of ‘Steal Like an Artist’, Kleon was always asked the same questions: how do you show your work? how do I actually get my stuff out there? how do i get found? how do i get an audience for my work? Talk about yourself at parties – It’s okay to talk about yourself if people ask. Don’t think of it as an interrogation. Think of it as a chance to connect with someone who might be interested in your work. 6. Teach what you know

Show Your Work is] timeless; readers can return to it repeatedly throughout life and still glean useful ideas and tips... Anyone starting out (or starting over)...will find upbeat encouragement here." If you want to be more effective when sharing yourself and your work, you need to become a better storyteller. You need to know what a good story is and how to tell one.” There's no flow to the book. No sense of one element building on the next until at the end you have a plan. Instead... here's a thought. Here's another thought. Here's a third thought. Carving out a space for yourself online, somewhere where you can express yourself and share your work, is still one of the best possible investments you can make with your time

You will find that just by doing simple things and talking to people is enough to start the ball rolling, and this book is just for that a book for people who hate the idea of self-promotion.
