Today, we have the incredible story of Aiko Hemingway. Despite having what many would consider a super tiny email list, her strategic steps have led her to earn over $10K a month. Aiko has brilliantly leveraged her influence to build a successful and profitable business.

Aiko shares her journey from Udemy to her decision to focus exclusively on a niche market of Japanese executives looking to improve their English pronunciation, and how this precision targeting has been a game-changer for her business.

Aiko doesn't keep her strategies a secret – she's here to detail how she's made a significant impact with a minimal subscriber base both on her email list and YouTube channel. You'll learn about her transition from one-on-one coaching to automated courses, her use of evergreen webinars, and the rigorous process she undertook to give a successful TEDx talk.
