Summary

#902 I just earned $40,000 in four days selling t-shirts! That's bananas, but these are the kinds of things you can expect to happen if you focus on building true superfans. From day one, you can follow my system and start generating income from your passion. From ad revenue and affiliate marketing at the casual level to VIP experiences and five-figure consulting gigs at the top of the audience growth pyramid, I cover it all in today's session. This is not about chasing vanity numbers and buying fake subscribers, either. None of that stuff matters! The Superfans system is the key to building real connections online in the age of AI. One experience for a top follower can outweigh hundreds of small sales, so tune in for a look at the opportunities available to you right now. I know you haven't even considered some of these methods yet, so don't miss this episode! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session902.

You know what keeps me up at night? It's not coming up with new content ideas or even launching a new

product. It's making sure I'm making smart decisions with the data that I actually have. And here's the thing. Every business is asking the same question right now. How do we make AI work for us? And honestly, guessing is too risky. But sitting on the sidelines, that's not an option either because your competitors are already making their move. That's where a NetSuite comes in. It's the number one AI cloud ERP trusted by over 43,000 businesses. What I love about it is that it brings everything together, your financials, inventory, commerce, HR, and CRM, all into one single source of truth. And here's why that matters. When your data is connected, your AI doesn't just guess. It knows it can intelligently automate routine tasks, deliver actionable insights, and help you make confident decisions fast. This isn't another tool you just bold on. It's AI built into the system that runs your business. If I were running a business with lots of moving parts, NetSuite is what I would use to help me stay ahead of the pack.

2:14.1

because of the moments that you create for them over time.

In the last episode, 901, we talked about short form video, a great way to start to build the following, to start with that casual audience, activate them into that next level, then

2:27.4

turn them into a community member and ultimately a super fan.

2:31.4

All of these episodes from this point forward are, in general, going to relate to each

is the fact that many people believe that you can only monetize
