My First Million

The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Focus on who follows you not how many people follow you

What It Means

The quality and relevance of your audience matters more than the total number of followers

Why It Matters

One aligned follower can provide more value than hundreds of misaligned ones through engagement, referrals, and business opportunities

When It's True

When building personal brand, selling services, or creating niche content where audience fit drives success

When It's Risky

In pure advertising models where reach directly correlates to revenue, or when building mass consumer products

How to Apply

1

Track engagement rates and quality interactions over follower counts

2

Create content that attracts your ideal audience even if it repels others

3

Measure success by business outcomes from audience rather than vanity metrics

Example Scenario

Business consultant with 1,000 engaged CEO followers generates more consulting leads than influencer with 100,000 random followers who don't need business services.
