You don’t need millions of dollars or millions of customers, millions of clients or millions of fans. To make a living as a craftsperson, photographer, musician, designer, author, animator, app maker, entrepreneur, or inventor you need only thousands of true fans.” — Kevin Kelly Kelly discusses how we unquestionably need much fewer people than we think to make a living. In my opinion, this is the source of unconfined inspiration and hope for many a small creator. While it may be difficult to compete with big multinational corporations, it is easier for a smaller producer to please a niche group of fans. The idea goes that if the fans are getting increasingly specialised attention, they love the creator plane increasingly and protract to buy from him/her. Years ago the problem was the small businesses and entrepreneurs didn't have the worthiness to communicate directly with their fan bases, whereas now they do. Email marketing is still the most constructive form of online marketing and it allows us to build tropical relationships with fans.
