Audience ≠ distribution.

Why overlap matters more than volume (if you care about creating value).

More followers ≠ more opportunity.

Heard about the instagram influencer that couldn't sell 20 t-shirts to an audience of 1,000,000 people?

No overlap between the product and what those 1,000,000 people care about.

If I started Butcher Cosmetics tomorrow, who would be placing an order? No one.

The economic opportunity of "audience building" expands only to the extent you talk about things you can do/sell/make.

Rewrite
Redesign
Rebuild
