• choosing a niche that creates superfans
• defining target customers and price anchors
• writing copy and designing packaging for one person
• collecting quality emails from day one
• using email for reliable revenue spikes
• running markets to read reactions and adjust
• keeping what works and pruning weak scents

• thinking like a business, not just an artist
