You don’t need a million followers

Written by Naja Shafiq

If you want to make a living doing something you love, you don’t need to have a million followers. You don’t even need to have 100,000 followers. You only need to have 1000 true fans.

1000 true fans.

True fans are diehard fans who will support you and buy what ever you sell. They are the type of people who will buy a VIP ticket to your event, or buy every version of the books you publish. They are the people who will talk about you with their friends and families.

They like you so much that they are more than happy to give you their money to help you succeed.

How does it work?

Firstly, you’ll need a strong relationship with your fans. You will need to attract them to become your audience, interact and engage with them, really build a relationship with them until they become fans of you.

Secondly, you’ll need to come up with an offer that they would be interested in. It could be a book, a workshop, an album, something physical or digital.

Those are the two things you’ll need to make this work.

Let’s talk numbers.

(Number of superfans) x (Your offer’s profit) = Your income per year

If you’re able to get 1000 true fans and you can offer something with a profit of RM100, you could get RM100,000 per year. These are just simple examples, you can modify it however you see fit.

End note.

It won’t be easy. It will take months or even years. But it is possible. A lot of people are making money on the internet doing something they love and you can too.
