I could get 1,000 true fans fatser if was bullshitter, or a cult leader.

The "1,000 true fans" concept, coined by
Kevin Kelly, describes a loyal, niche audience of 1,000 dedicated supporters who will buy anything a creator produces, enabling a sustainable career without requiring mainstream fame. These fans provide roughly $100 profit annually, totaling $100,000 for the creator.- Who They Are: They are deeply committed supporters who value a creator's work, often buying all products, including merchandise, books, or concert tickets.
- The Goal: The aim is to foster a direct relationship with a manageable, community-sized, loyal audience rather than chasing millions of followers.
- The Definition: They are not just passive followers; they act as fans who engage, share, and support.
- The Principle: This strategy emphasizes quality of engagement over quantity of reach, focusing on nurturing a smaller group to ensure consistent income.
- Alternative View: Some argue the number can be as low as 100 dedicated fans depending on the creator's financial needs and the price of their offerings.
