If you are serious about starting an on-demand business, you are going to need to spend a lot of time marketing your business and developing a following. This does not happen overnight. Chapter 5 in the Business in Minutes book, lays out what you need to get your marketing and sales plan off the ground, however, there is another aspect that needs to be addressed. This is building a fan base that will support your continuing efforts to build a sustainable business.
One of the best discussions about building a following to make a living was in a blog post on The Technium titled 1000 True Fans (link is here). For the most part, those folks working in the print on-demand world will be in this realm of sales and exposure. The point of the post was that the individual starting a business needs to reach out and find 1000 true fans. There are examples that are discussed in the blog post and comments section of folks making a living with a 1000 True Fans. As you build your business, keep this idea of 1000 True Fans in mind.
