1k True Fans? Try 100 (2020)

> One creator on Teachable who advises artists on how to sell their art made $110,000 last year with only 76 students, at an average of $1,437 per course. Another creator who teaches physiotherapy made $141,000 with only 61 students, at an average price point of $2,314 per course

So sell shovels?

I'm wondering how much of these shifts in monthly revenue for creators are actually additional signs of inflation.

This might be misunderstood as followers on social media, but a follower on social media does not equal to a fan. They address this at:

Fair enough, but let's say the TrueFans™ are in the range of 0.1% - 1% of your followers. That translates to 10k-100k followers which is still incredibly hard to build.

In this case, I have no fans.

For me it'd be hard to pay 1K a year although I could afford it. Heck it was only back in 2019 that I'd force myself to buy apps that make me happy, even though I'd drop 6 dollars on a coffee without thinking twice. I'm definitely a slave to my mentality.
