How to Earn Your First $100 With a Tiny Audience

May 28, 2025

Last week, we tapped into free traffic from Reddit.
Now it’s time to talk about your first dollar online.

Here’s how to make your first $100—even if you’ve only got 100 followers or subscribers.

💸 1. Pre-sell a Tiny Product
Build a landing page. Show the value. Add a checkout button.
No product yet? No problem—deliver it via email later.

💡 Example: “The 5-Day Starter Sprint” → $19 email mini-course

🧠 2. Offer a 1:1 Session
Help someone solve a niche problem.
Even $25 calls validate you and your offer.

🎓 3. Launch a Workshop or Challenge
Make it interactive.
Teach a live Zoom session or email challenge → $29-$49

You don’t need scale—you need specificity.
One offer, one audience, one clear result.
