You've&nbsp;posted&nbsp;a&nbsp;lot&nbsp;on&nbsp;social&nbsp;and&nbsp;gotten&nbsp;nothing. &nbsp;The&nbsp;Audience&nbsp;Playbook&nbsp;and&nbsp;Content&nbsp;Engine&nbsp;explain&nbsp;why&nbsp;volume&nbsp;alone&nbsp;failed&nbsp;and&nbsp;what&nbsp;to&nbsp;do&nbsp;instead. You're&nbsp;about&nbsp;to&nbsp;build&nbsp;and&nbsp;want&nbsp;to&nbsp;avoid&nbsp;all&nbsp;of&nbsp;this&nbsp;the&nbsp;first&nbsp;time. &nbsp;Part&nbsp;One&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;pre-build&nbsp;sanity&nbsp;check&nbsp;on&nbsp;whether&nbsp;a&nbsp;specific&nbsp;person&nbsp;will&nbsp;actually&nbsp;pay.

You're&nbsp;stuck&nbsp;on&nbsp;"what&nbsp;do&nbsp;I&nbsp;even&nbsp;post?" &nbsp;The&nbsp;Content&nbsp;Engine&nbsp;turns&nbsp;your&nbsp;audience's&nbsp;real&nbsp;questions&nbsp;into&nbsp;a&nbsp;repeatable&nbsp;content&nbsp;calendar. You're&nbsp;not&nbsp;sure&nbsp;if&nbsp;the&nbsp;idea&nbsp;is&nbsp;dead&nbsp;or&nbsp;just&nbsp;the&nbsp;marketing. &nbsp;The&nbsp;whole&nbsp;book&nbsp;exists&nbsp;to&nbsp;separate&nbsp;those&nbsp;two&nbsp;—&nbsp;usually&nbsp;it's&nbsp;not&nbsp;the&nbsp;idea.
