I wanted to include the full story of what this group is about. 1,000 True Fans | The Digital Product Experiment 👉 djangify.com In 2008, Kevin Kelly - founding editor of Wired - wrote something that stuck me: a creator doesn't need millions of followers to make a living. They need 1,000 people who genuinely care spending $100 a year to build a six figure business. I've spent years building things. Good things. And I've watched the money leak out anyway - platform fees on every sale, marketplace algorithms burying products on page 42, accounts deleted overnight with no warning and no appeal. But I kept building. In January 2026 I finished Djangify - an independent storefront I built for myself so I could stop renting space from platforms that take a cut of everything and own none of it. Clean shop. Built-in blog. No transaction fees. No platform algorithm deciding if I get seen today. Although I still need to work with the search engines algorithm who decide that! In May 2026, I opened it to the public. And now I'm running the experiment in public too. Every traffic strategy I try. Every SEO move. Every piece of content data. What worked, what completely failed, what I'm trying next — all of it documented here, honestly, so you don't have to figure it out alone. This isn't a course. I don't have the finished answers. I'm doing the thing in real time, and you're welcome to watch, take what works, and build alongside me. The goal is simple: get my main site Inspirational Guidance to 1,000 true fans no matter how long it takes and note how much that provides in terms of income. You only need one site to do this. I have a couple others and will get them to $500 for the month. If you've got a Djangify storefront and want to do the same thing follow along. If you don't have an independent shop yet, you can launch one at djangify.com in about five minutes. Who This Is For The Exploited Creator You're watching money disappear out of every sale - listing fees, transaction cuts, payout deductions - and wondering why a digital product business that should work, doesn't quite add up. It's not your products. It's the maths of building on someone else's platform.

We all need to focus on our ideal customer and there are two types of people I would love to have in this community (that doesn't mean if you don't fit you are not welcome - you are!). These are my "ideal clients" and who I speak to in my marketing. If I appeal to you and you don't fit - I love it. You are welcome! Pamela is Generation X. She's spent years getting genuinely good at something - coaching, caring, a skill, a trade, something she knows from the inside out. She's managing. But when she looks ten years ahead the numbers don't add up, and there's a thought she doesn't always say out loud: this can't go on forever. She doesn't want a complicated funnel or to become an influencer. She just wants to take what she already knows - the years of real experience sitting inside her right now - and turn it into something that earns consistently. The second is someone who has done hard physical work. Someone whose body has been the business. Who has shown up, worked hard, and is starting to understand that this cannot be the whole plan. They're not behind. They've just been busy surviving and it is taking a toll on their body. And then there's a third door in. Something went wrong. Not because you did anything wrong but because you trusted a platform that didn't deserve it. Maybe you had an account closed overnight with no warning and no appeal. Maybe you're watching fees quietly eat every sale until the numbers stop making sense. Maybe you built something good and it's buried so deep in someone else's marketplace that the right people will never find it. I call these three the Digitally Excluded. The Leaker and The Invisible. At some point in my online life I have been them and/or worked for someone like them. You don't have to be Pamela. You don't have to have worked with your hands. If you've been doing the work and the system has been taking the reward — you're who this is for too. One thing I want to be upfront about: I don't teach you how to create your product.
