Extra Credit - 1000 True Fans


1000 true fans is a really great business idea by Kevin Kelly. True fans here are people who will always likely to buy your product. And with specific number of true fans it can be easy to have a steady income. Moreover, it will be not too difficult to calculate what your income might be. 1000 true fans focus on quality instead of quantity. If you have a certain amount of “true fans” that would always come back to you when you have new product, then it is way better than when you have a lot of people buying your product at first but then they never come back again. Let take Apple for example, Apple company is currently a company having the biggest number of “true fans” we can see it by their product selling record. They are known as “Apple fans”, Apple fans are more likely to change or upgrade their new phone every year when new product come out. And no matter how many bad review or criticism articles about Apple new product, the true fans will always support and buying the product. This apply to “Samsung fans” or any other brand. There are no right or wrong with this. The reason here is people can choose any product or brand that they like and become a fan of it, it just going to depend on their personal perspective on the product. The way to have true fans to always support you is you have to build an authentic relationship with them by connecting directly with them. Moreover, is to show them your real value, when people understand all of these components then they will become your true fan.
