But here&#8217;s the key question about this situation: Am I now a superfan?<\/p>\n<p>What do you think? Should I be?<\/p>\n<h2>I AM a big fan of Pat Flynn!<\/h2>\n<p>On the other hand, I&#8217;ve been a Pat Flynn fan for a long time, so I was pretty sure I&#8217;d discover a few new-to-me gems in his new book, <em><a id=\"amznPsBmLink_636630\" class=\"amzn_ps_bm_tl\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Superfans-Stand-Tribe-Successful-Business\/dp\/1949709469\/ref=as_li_bk_tl\/?tag=beckwithcommu-20&amp;linkId=4bea884401b5074db6ce881a558c0802&amp;linkCode=ktl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword=\"Superfans:The Easy Way to Stand Out, Grow Your Tribe, And Build a Successful Business\" data-amzn-link-id=\"4bea884401b5074db6ce881a558c0802\">Superfans:The Easy Way to Stand Out, Grow Your Tribe, And Build a Successful Business<\/a><\/em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"amznPsBmPixel_636630\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?source=bk&amp;t=beckwithcommu-20&amp;bm-id=default&amp;l=ktl&amp;linkId=4bea884401b5074db6ce881a558c0802&amp;_cb=1567094075804\" alt=\"\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" border=\"0\" \/>.<\/p>\n<p>I discovered early on through Flynn&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartpassiveincome.com\/podcasts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Smart Passive Income podcast<\/a> that we have the same business values. That keeps me listening. Over the years, I&#8217;ve learned a great deal from him and his podcast guests. They often take listeners behind the scenes, sharing what has and hasn&#8217;t worked for their online businesses.<\/p>\n<p><em>Superfans<\/em> isn&#8217;t Flynn&#8217;s first book, but it&#8217;s the first he&#8217;s written that&#8217;s relevant to my business and yours. I was pretty sure I could pull some wisdom out of it for authors like you seeking a community of loyal readers waiting for your next book.<\/p>\n<p>On the surface, it&#8217;s more relevant to entrepreneurs than to authors, especially those who don&#8217;t yet accept that they&#8217;re actually small business owners.<\/p>\n<p>But when you replace the term &#8220;fan&#8221; with &#8220;readers,&#8221; you&#8217;ll soon see that there&#8217;s lots to learn as an author. With authors, it&#8217;s all about finding and connecting with people you want to become loyal readers.<\/p>\n<h2>What can you learn from this book?<\/h2>\n<p>When I read a prescriptive nonfiction book like this, I&#8217;m looking at it from a few different perspectives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is there content that&#8217;s helpful to authors?<\/li>\n<li>What, if anything, can I apply to my business?<\/li>\n<li>How is it written, structured, and organized? I do this as a nonfiction writer and author, not as a reader. Other people&#8217;s books often provide insights I can use in my own books.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What follows is my breakdown of these three points. What you take away from this book as a reader will be different, of course, because we&#8217;re coming at it with different backgrounds. My goal with this review, though, is to help you decide if this book is a &#8220;must read&#8221; for you, or a &#8220;good to know about, but not what I need right now&#8221; kind of book.<\/p>\n<h2>Specific nuggets for authors<\/h2>\n<p>Regarding that first point about relevance to authors, I think novelists will have to work a little harder to see the takeaways in it for them. They&#8217;re there, but they will probably be more obvious to nonfiction authors.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in Chapter 1, we learn the importance of <strong>using your fan&#8217;s\/reader&#8217;s language<\/strong> when writing promotional text &#8212; which can include your book description and website copy. Novelists need to do this as much as anyone else. That first chapter helps you see how you can uncover the phrases and terms your audience uses.<\/p>\n<p>In Chapter 3, you&#8217;ll discover how to use an online community such as a Facebook or LinkedIn group to <strong>learn more about how you can help or serve your readers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The advice in Chapter 6 to <strong>invite your readers into your writer&#8217;s room<\/strong>, so to speak, &#8220;where they can share their opinions on where the story should go&#8221; is 100 percent relevant to all authors.<\/p>\n<p>Much of Part 3 will be more interesting to nonfiction authors who use books as part of a larger business. It&#8217;s worth reading, but it will be harder for novelists to determine how to leverage the concepts.<\/p>\n<p>Part 4 is about protecting yourself from the dark side of this new world of superfandom. It&#8217;s something most of us won&#8217;t need to worry about, but it&#8217;s a good reminder about why and how you want to protect your privacy and stay safe.<\/p>\n<p>As for my own business working with authors, I was happy to see he recommends certain steps that I already do instinctively. I took plenty of notes, too.<\/p>\n<h2>This book&#8217;s bones<\/h2>\n<p>My third bullet point above relates to how I read books like this as a writer more than a knowledge-seeker. Several things about how the book is written and structured stood out for me.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"amznPsBmLink_3680638\" class=\"amzn_ps_bm_tl\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Superfans-Stand-Tribe-Successful-Business\/dp\/1949709469\/ref=as_li_bk_tl\/?tag=beckwithcommu-20&amp;linkId=bb5db6900a9df2075139dd8731eba699&amp;linkCode=ktl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword=\"Superfans \" data-amzn-link-id=\"bb5db6900a9df2075139dd8731eba699\"><em>Superfans<\/em> <\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"amznPsBmPixel_3680638\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?source=bk&amp;t=beckwithcommu-20&amp;bm-id=default&amp;l=ktl&amp;linkId=bb5db6900a9df2075139dd8731eba699&amp;_cb=1567102603053\" alt=\"\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" border=\"0\" \/>is organized logically. The author uses an <span style=\"color: #333333; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">inverted pyramid graphic to explain the structure <\/span>in the introduction. Like the book, the pyramid is divided into four parts. Each part moves readers through the fan-building process.<\/p>\n<p>As a writer, three other features stand out for me.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The stories.<\/strong> Flynn draws from his experience, and those of the many entrepreneurs he has interviewed on his podcast, to bring the concepts to life. Every time I thought, &#8220;What would this look like in action?&#8221;, he showed me.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exercises at the end of each chapter.<\/strong> They encourage readers to take action on what they&#8217;ve just learned.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A helpful bonus online course with worksheets and other tools related to each chapter&#8217;s exercises.<\/strong> I always encourage authors to create bonus content that readers can access after providing their name and email address. It&#8217;s an excellent way to help you continue the conversation with that reader &#8212; and turn that person into a fan, and, eventually a superfan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I think you&#8217;ll appreciate these features, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Connecting with your readers<\/h2>\n<p>Because I&#8217;m a long-time listener to Flynn&#8217;s podcast, I was familiar with much of the content already. Still, it didn&#8217;t bother me to have it presented in a new format, and in one that allowed me to take notes as I read. (I can&#8217;t do that when listening to a podcast while exercising or driving.)<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re new to Pat Flynn&#8217;s world, you won&#8217;t be slowed down by that &#8220;Ohhhh, I&#8217;ve heard this before&#8221; issue. And, if your goal is to better connect with and understand your readers, I think you&#8217;ll be satisfied with what you learn.<\/p>\n<p><em>What are you doing now to better connect with the people who love your books?
