Always bidness, fuck social media followers
$1M dollar business
1 million followers maybe if you're an OnlyFans creator, otherwise give me that $1MM biz
fuck a following, gimme that bread
Yall don't realize how much money you can make off 1M followers or how easy it could make your life in regards to business.
You could create infinite businesses from a following. Can make your fundraising way easier.
As the saying goes “follow the money.”
Also why would I want a woke angry mob trying to cancel me after every post?
You can do a lot with 1m followers, probably scale that into a multi-million dollar business and it will be less of a headache as well. Somebody like Graham Stephen on YouTube, who blew up but over the last 1.5 year but was still making a decent living off of YouTube. Spencer Cornelia who is much smaller also does well with around a million views a month and 120k subs. I’d probably take the followers over the business.
Depends on the platform. IG, TikTok, and other social media platforms aren’t that profitable at that level. Now if you are talking 1m Twitch TV or Youtube subscribers, different story.
assuming strong engagement -- 1 million followers easy, the business will follow if i want to pursue that path
