Audience blind spot

Your audience is probably making mistakes that look like strategy.

They disguise themselves as discipline.

As restraint.

As the “smart” move.

But they’re not. They’re silent killers.

As a creator, it’s your job to call them out—before those mistakes cause lasting damage.

Before we dive in:

The price for my live online workshop — “The 12 Costly Email Traps” — jumps up again on Wednesday. Sign up here if you want the quick fixes to the email and newsletter mistakes you probably don’t know you’re making.

A quick story about Kodak:

In 1975, one of their engineers invented the world’s first digital camera.

It was clunky. Low-res. Ahead of its time.

But it worked.

Kodak had the future in its hands.

And they buried it.

Why?

Because going digital meant killing their film business.

And film was their cash cow.

It felt smart to protect it.

It looked strategic.

But it was the start of a slow, billion-dollar collapse.

Turns out, the most dangerous mistakes aren’t the obvious ones.

They’re the ones that feel like good decisions.

Same goes for your audience.

Some of their most trusted habits are hurting them.

And the creator who spots those habits — and names them — wins the trust.

I call this the Audience Blind Spot Prompt.

Because it helps you surface what your audience thinks is working… but isn’t.

And instead of guessing, you let ChatGPT guide you to the answer.

🧠 Paste this “Audience Blind Spot” prompt into ChatGPT:

“Hi ChatGPT. Ask me the minimum number of questions you need to identify one common mistake my audience is making — something that seems smart on the surface, but actually slows their progress or results.”

Within a few questions, you’ll uncover what your audience doesn’t want to admit — but desperately needs to hear.

Turn that insight into a reel, blog post, YouTube video, thread, or anything else...

And watch the quiet nods roll in.

Because when your content names what others can’t see…

It doesn’t just get attention.

It earns trust.

P.S. I’ll soon be hosting a live online workshop called The 12 Costly Email Traps — a breakdown of the blind spots that almost wrecked my email list on the road to 40K subs.

Save yourself years of trial, error, pain, and expense. 

Price jumps up again on Wednesday.
