🚫 The Big Myth: “I Need a Big Following First”
Think you need thousands of followers to start making money online? Think again! Here’s how tiny audiences can still bring in real sales.
You scroll Instagram and see someone with 100K followers launching yet another course or product and think:
“Well, duh… of course, they make sales.
I’m over here with 237 followers and a dog named Pickles who likes all my posts.”
But here’s the truth: You don’t need a huge audience.
You need the right audience—even if it’s just a handful of people.
🎯 A Small, Engaged Audience > A Big, Uninterested One
If you’ve got:
• 50 people who actually open your emails
• 30 who message you with questions
• 10 who cheer you on every time you post
…guess what?
You’re way ahead of a big account full of bots, randoms, and Aunt Joan who just wants to see baby pics. 👶
These small numbers? They’re your foundation.
Nurture them well, and they’ll become customers and fans.
💡 Real Examples of Small-Audience Success
• A creator launched a $27 mini-course to 100 people and made $540 in a weekend.
• Another offered 1:1 coaching to her email list of 73—5 signed up. That’s nearly 7% conversion!
• And I’ve personally seen products fly off the digital shelf with fewer than 200 subscribers.
Why? Because those people were interested, engaged, and felt connected.
📣 How to Sell with a Tiny Audience
1. Speak directly to their pain points
→ You can personalize more. Use their language. Show them you “get” them.
2. Offer something small and specific
→ Tiny audience? Start with a low-ticket or mini-offer that solves a real problem fast.
3. Build relationships
→ Chat in the DMs. Reply to comments. Send voice notes. This isn’t “just marketing”—it’s connecting.
