Most authors think of vision boards as something personal.

Quiet.
Private.
Maybe some magazines, glue sticks, and a Pinterest quote or two.

But in this episode of BTA Fridays – Breaking the Algorithm™, I talked about turning vision boards into something bigger: community-driven author events that also create real visibility.

The idea is simple.

Instead of building your vision board alone, why not turn it into an author networking experience?

An author vision board party can happen:

• In person
• On Zoom
• Through a writing group
• Through your reader community
• Before a launch
• At the beginning of the year
• Quarterly for accountability

And what makes this different is that it naturally creates connection and content at the same time.

Authors spend so much time posting repetitive promo graphics that disappear into the scroll. But collaborative experiences? Those stand out.

During the episode, I talked about:

• Creating themes for the event
• Ways to make it interactive
• How to invite readers into the process
• Using photos and clips for social content
• Following up later for accountability and momentum

One of the biggest points I made is this: people connect to experiences.

Not just products.

And when authors build spaces where people feel included, seen, and inspired, visibility starts happening differently.

That’s the real point of BTA Fridays™. Not chasing trends. Building something more meaningful instead.

Key Takeaways

• Creative community events help authors stand out naturally
• Interactive experiences create stronger engagement
• Vision board parties can become content opportunities
• Accountability builds momentum
• Visibility grows through relationships and connection
• You do not need a huge audience to create meaningful impact
