That's 100 people that are interested in what you have to say. Each one of them made a decision they'd like to hear more.

They could be 100 clients. 100 potential employers. 100 people that will go on and tell others.

Often sales is about "I have a product, now I need an audience" rather than "I have an audience, what do they need?" The latter's surely far more powerful.

I think the advice intended by Mr throwaway is “if you want a larger audience, figure out what those 100 people like, and make more of that”

That's a good point. The problem is most of those 100 people are from my network. But it seems now other people I don't know are also joining. I guess the best thing for me is to keep being consistent at writing and forget a bit about numbers, for now. Thank you for your comment.
