However, you'll never build a loyal fan base without mastering the "pyramid of fandom."  Pat Flynn, CEO of Flynndustries and the host of Smart Passive Income, claims that fans aren't created the moment people find you.

Your superfans are out there, you just need to connect with them and provide them with magical moments that keep them coming back for more.   In This Episode: 06:19 – What the pyramid of fandom is and how to nurture fans to become superfans 12:23 – The progression of going from zero to superfan and tips to accelerate fans up the pyramid 24:31– How to get customers more involved and engaged 30:58 – Why you should focus on one social channel to connect with your superfans instead of trying to master all of them at once 33:22– The dark side of building fans and common pitfalls to avoid 39:46 – The importance of multimedia when it comes to building a following of superfans   Resources Get the new State of Marketing report for free from Salesforce here.
