Creator Insight — The 1,000 True Fans Equation
A landmark study by Kevin Kelly showed that if a creator has 1,000 true fans who each spend $100/year, that’s $100,000/year — enough for a full-time living.
Why this matters today:
Patreon reports top creators average $6,000+/month with under 3,000 patrons.
On Twitch, less than 1% of streamers make more than minimum wage.
Most platforms take 30–50% in fees and control your audience data.
💡 With $PATH’s model, creators can keep over 90% of earnings and have direct access to their audience — turning a few hundred engaged fans into true financial independence.
Takeaway: Your real power isn’t in going viral — it’s in building a core fanbase that you truly own.
