  - “How to walk a dog” = too generic
  - “Leash pulling / stop leash pulling” = real problem people want fixed

Process

Outreach

Rough conversion assumption:
- “If I’m selling to around 20 people per day …”
Revenue scaling logic:
- 1 influencer → ~$1,000/day for 30 days (their example math)
- 5 more influencers → “$6,000 days”
Retargeting layer:
- Capture funnel visitors (website visits, add-to-cart, etc.)
- Run Facebook retargeting ads to behavior-based audiences
- Claimed result after retargeting layer: “$8,000 days”
Claimed profitability:
- Profit margin “well over 60%”
- (Presented as a claim; no formal cost breakdown provided.)
