Description:
Dreaming of a loyal fanbase but starting from zero? You don’t need millions, you need true fans who believe in your music, your story, and your journey. In this episode of Be Your Own Star, Christina Bauer shares the exact mindset and strategies to turn casual listeners into lifelong supporters.

What you’ll learn:

• The psychology of connection and why people join “tribes”

• Why your first 10 fans are the most powerful foundation you’ll ever build

• How to share your story so people connect with you, not just your songs

• The difference between broadcasting and engaging (and why DMs matter!)

• Why consistency builds trust—and how to reward your superfans so they rave about you

Challenge of the Week: Identify 5 people who already support you. Send them your story, your latest song, or a personal message and treat them like the Superfans they are.

This isn’t about going viral overnight. It’s about building real relationships, one fan at a time. Do that and your fanbase will grow bigger and stronger than you ever imagined.
