if youre early in this, learn the lesson without the years it took me, sort your fans by how much theyve actually spent. before any traffic trick, do that.
first time i ranked a real account top to bottom i couldnt believe the spread. one fan at $236, a few in the $100-ish range, a cluster of $50s, then a giant flat line of $6 subs that barely registered. people quote 80/20 like a meme but seeing the cliff on your own list makes it real.
the beginner mistake, which i made, is treating every fan the same because you cant tell them apart. so you burn the same effort on a guy who tipped nothing as on the one funding your month.
the fix needs zero new followers. rank by spend, know your top tier by name, give them the attention that keeps them, run the rest efficiently.
for those just starting, are you tracking who your biggest spenders are yet, or is it still a blur of names? whats stopped you from ranking them?
