Where do my first 10 customers come from when I've got no traffic and no proof?
That's how I parsed the Empire Builders four spotlight questions, and would appreciate all of your thoughts on the willmybooksell.com site which I'm getting ready for traffic to come to. And yes, there some PASTOR copy in there @Ray Edwards 😉

Sorted @Gwen Baird and thanks again for the feedback. I genuinely would never have found that because of where it was. It was actually on that page, the verdict page, and I never get that far in the funnel.

I totally agree that people are sick of obviously AI generated videos, photos, and images, the fake ink posters, the stock-photo founder headshots, the “inspirational quote on a sunset” slop, the AI-voiced explainer videos flooding every feed. But this is authenticity fatigue, not utility fatigue and people aren’t tired of things that actually help them. AI created apps, spreadsheets, workbooks, infographics, things they can take with them on their journey from where they are to where they want to be, none of that has lost its appeal.
Today's Call...
Are we using the Zoom link that was emailed out today?

A logo nobody gets until they ask. On purpose.
We’re off and running (more like jogging) with funeralhacker.com, our premium Christian streetwear brand. We designed it and own the UK trademark and will be selling the merch by print on demand across the world The thinking is simple. Most Christian merchandise is loud and a bit naff, sans-serif slogans plastered across the chest, “Just Pray It,” “coffee gets me started, Jesus keeps me going,” the same tired fish sticker on the back of the car. Nobody stops to ask about any of it as its trite and twee. Apologies to anyone who has these t-shirts, but you get what I mean. Funeral Hacker merch goes the other way. To most people the mark is just an abstract design, two circles, nothing more. They also get confused about what 'Funeral Hacker' is or isnt. Even believers don’t clock it straight away (and we tested this widely as the website copy says) and had to ask what it’s about. Once someone explains it, you get it completely, and that “ah” moment is where the excitement comes from. That’s exactly how the Ichthys worked for the early Church, a quiet signal that had to be explained before it meant anything, not a badge shouting itself at everyone. It also means the mark can travel somewhere a cross or a fish sticker can’t, into countries where wearing your faith openly isn’t safe. The name isn’t just a hook either. Death’s claim on us comes from sin, that’s the rule it runs on. Christ lived without sin, so death had no legitimate hold on Him, then it tried to hold Him anyway. The tomb couldn’t keep what it had no right to keep. The stone rolling away isn’t the miracle itself, it’s the proof the exploit worked. That’s death hacked, not overridden from the outside but beaten on its own terms. That’s where the real opportunity sits. When someone does clock it and asks what it means, that’s not small talk, that’s an open door and an opportunity to share the gospel. At some point you have to launch and let the thing meet the world rather than sit chasing perfect.

@Gwen Baird I'd love to think so, but I've got feelers out for investment, because with the right people on board, this can go from a potential six-figure business to an eight-figure one. It's going to take ads, a lot of them, and quite a bit of joint venturing just to to get to six figures. It's only one product in my portfolio, so it suits me to have more hands on the marketing tiller than just my own.

@Deborah Galuk This is exactly the kind of outreach I'm picturing, thank you. Mission oriented groups with wide, organic reach are a much better fit than paid ads alone for something like this at the early stages as the trust is already built in. Your brother's discipleship classes are a lovely example, real distribution through people who already have credibility with the audience. Small flag though, more on avatar fit than anything else, the audience here skews under 35. I'd love to think older folks would wear the shirt too, but I think some might read it as disrespectful at first glance, when it's actually the opposite, that's the whole point of it. I made some images and videos on that gap and of the whole cheesy Christian tees vibe and attached one of each. The street musician group spreading the gospel globally sounds like a much closer match, especially if it's genuinely youth skewed. Do dig up that name when you remember it, I'd love to make that connection. Really appreciate you thinking of this.
