THE FIRST HUNDRED
Your first $100 online
is the hard one
After that it's repetition. Here's the shortest honest route: one small product, priced fairly, shared with the people who already know you.
The gap between $0 and $100 is bigger than between $100 and $1,000, because crossing it proves the whole thing is real. Ten sales of a $10 guide gets you there. So does four sales of a $25 template. It's a small number on purpose — the point isn't the money, it's the evidence that strangers will pay you for what you know.
Pick the maths that fits you
$10 × 10 buyers. $25 × 4. $49 × 2. Choose the version that matches what you can actually make this week, then work backwards from it — targets you can picture are the ones people hit.
- ✓Price for value, not for fear
- ✓Fewer sales at a fair price is easier
- ✓You keep the full amount
Make the smallest useful thing
One problem, solved completely. A 12-page guide beats a 200-page book nobody finishes writing. If you're stuck on the writing, Fanzy drafts it from an outline you approve.
- ✓Weekend-sized scope
- ✓AI drafts it with you
- ✓Instant delivery included
Tell the people who already know you
Not a funnel — a sentence. Your group chats, your feed, the forum you've been in for years. The first hundred almost always comes from people who already trust you, not from strangers.
- ✓One honest post beats a launch plan
- ✓Ask friends to share, not to buy
- ✓Collect emails from everyone who visits

Good questions
›Is this actually free to start?
Yes — your page at store.fan/yourname, unlimited link cards, 28 themes and email capture are free forever, with no card and no expiry. You only pay when you want to sell: Starter is $24/month, Pro $49/month, both with a 14-day free trial.
›Will I definitely make money?
Nobody can promise that, and anyone who does is selling you something. What we can promise is the mechanics: a page that takes payments, delivers files instantly and keeps 100% of the price on paid plans. Whether it sells depends on whether the thing you make is useful to someone — which is why we suggest starting small and specific.
›Do I need followers first?
It helps, but the store also builds an audience: every visitor can join your email list for free, and every buyer is added to your customer list. Plenty of people start by sharing with the group chats, forums and communities they're already part of.
›What can a beginner realistically sell?
A guide, a template, a checklist, a plan, a set of photos or presets, a recorded walkthrough — anything you can put in a file. If you've solved a problem that other people also have, the written-down version of that solution is a product.
›How do I get paid?
Through your own Stripe account. Buyers pay by card, Stripe deposits into your bank on its normal schedule, and we take 0% of the sale on paid plans — the subscription is our whole business model.
