Ahhhhh hitting $1M is hard.
Breakdown of how we are planning to get there
Hi friends,
We built 10+ apps in 2 months with AI (check it out here)
People already know that it is the next big thing, however after starting our startup we learned that there is no magical future where you can just sit back, let AI do all the work, and get rich without changing your habits or putting in the effort.
AI Hasn’t Changed the Game—The Rules Still Apply
You still need:
Traffic
Content
Promotions
A valuable offer
A clear customer avatar
A strong landing page
Compelling copywriting
And the ability to tie all of it together strategically
AI doesn't eliminate these fundamentals. It just helps you do them faster and more efficiently.
The Honest Truth
No, this isn’t some magical AI business model that skips the hard work.
You still need to learn and apply the core principles of business.
What AI has changed is:
The speed of execution
The quality you can achieve—if you use it right
But AI Isn’t Magic (Yet)
Out of the box, AI isn’t a top-tier marketer or writer. It needs direction and context.
So you’ve got 2 options:
Learn marketing deeply, and train your own AI workflows.
Use a system from someone who has done that, so you can focus on your strengths.
We’ve built a marketing AI system that creates better:
Customer avatars
Offers
Landing pages
Sales copy
...than most businesses and even corporate marketing teams.
The $1 Million Blueprint (Real Talk)
Let’s break it down:
Goal: $1,000,000/year
→ $83,333/month
→ $2,777/day
Ways to get there:
Sell 18 x $150 products/day
Sell 111 x $25 subscriptions/day
Land a $5,000 client every 2 days
Land a $10,000 client every 4 days
Or mix and match—some clients, some products
Client route? Eventually you'll need a team or super streamlined delivery.
Product route? You need a ton of traffic.
So, How Much Traffic Do You Need?
Let’s say your landing page converts at 2.5%.
To sell 18 products/day at $150, you need 720 daily visitors.
Where do they come from?
Social media
Ads
SEO
Influencer marketing
Word of mouth
Example:
Get 10k–50k views per YouTube video or 500k–1M impressions per month on social = more than enough.
And hey, maybe you don’t want $1M/year. Even less requires traffic, offers, and conversions. Same formula. Lol jk.
We are still on our way to get there, but honestly everything is made possible with this mentality shift and breakdown.
If you are interested in starting something, feel free to check out our videos (again) as well to see how we are doing it as college students.
Thank you friends :)
