Note, you could spend weeks filling out this market map. We recommend you only spend a couple of hours here. (The bigger your goal, the more time you should spend on this activity.) Eventually, you'll want to survey (formally or informally) members of your existing audience to help uncover additional places to add to your market map. Not only will this help you find more places to promote your work, but it will also build engagement with your current audience. (People LOVE giving recommendations for the stuff they love!) You may want to team up with 1 or 2 people in the course who want to entertain a similar audience as you to fill out this exercise. (Ex. one person research websites/podcast, the other take Facebook and forums.) This will make things easier on the all of you, and uncover more contacts than you'd likely uncover on your own.
