You Do NOT Need a Huge Audience to Make GREAT Money

YOUTUBE  📚 THE READING LIFE  📚  PATREON

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

I watched this video today - it's extremely helpful for a few reasons.

But what sticks out the most is that this woman built a $1,000,000 business with...

Just 5,800 Instagram followers!

That's insane.

For context, I’m at just under 109,000 followers on Instagram and I'm not even at six figures yet, much less seven!

And even though I'd say she's a BIT of an outlier, I personally know dozens of people earning GREAT money with fewer followers than I have.

So the motivation factor with this video is certainly there - I get fired up knowing that stuff like that's actually possibly, even within reach.

The internet's a wild place.

But it also highlights the importance of creating content for the SPECIFIC TYPE of customer/client you want to attract, and making sure that when those people land on your page, there is NO DOUBT that you are EXACTLY the person they're looking for.

Honestly, I could be doing a better job of this myself.

The people I’m most perfectly suited to help are twofold:

1. CEOs and entrepreneurs who have lost control of their schedule and are wasting dozens of hours per week putting out fires at work and otherwise being a flaming wreck. (Been there, can totally help).

2. Creators looking to scale their business to $5,000 per month in revenue. (Done it myself, and my entire community is designed to help OTHER creators do it as well).

THAT’S who I need to be creating content for, and yes, like I said, I could be doing a better job of this.

But once you get this right, you don't need to "go viral" or become mega famous or anything.

Just become THE go-to person for the people you serve and want to work with as clients and customers.

You don’t need to be a global celebrity.

Just be famous to the right people.

There are still 10 spots remaining inside The Competitive Advantage community and you can grab one of the last remaining ones here.

If you want to surround yourself with a group of ambitious, supportive winners on their way to adding $5K/month in monthly recurring revenue to their business, that’s exactly where you need to be.

Workout: MISSED

No excuse. I just didn’t get it done. I got a little bit of exercise mowing the lawn today, but that’s not the full workout my program calls for. I failed, and that’s all there is to it. But tomorrow is another day. Shoulder day, to be precise!

Long, tough day. And I don’t feel great about how late I’m staying up, so I’m going to cut this one short.

It’s 5:09AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
