Client Wins Without Large Followings
- Odi Productions shares client results: Tyler earns $8k/month and Peggy earned $5k profit with only 500 subscribers.
- He also runs faceless affiliate sites earning five figures monthly using his system.

- Focus on affiliate sales because they convert more efficiently per view than AdSense.
- Target a 1% conversion rate example: 10k–20k targeted views can match revenue from 1M ad-driven views.
