It’s Never Been Easier to Make Money Online (Here’s How)

E-commerce success doesn’t require massive upfront investment.

In fact, you don’t even need the perfect products, polished websites, or celebrity endorsements to compete with established brands.

What makes e-commerce startups fail is when they overthink the launch, whilst someone else is already out there, capturing their market via execution and testing.

Hudson Leogrande went from completely broke to building two eight-figure brands by age 29.

His Comfrt hoodie generated $50 million last month alone through a strategy nobody saw coming…

THE VIRAL E-COMMERCE BLUEPRINT

Dominating any market through content velocity.

The Micro Army Strategy

Ignore follower counts completely. It’s not important.

Instead, recruit creators based on:

→ Aesthetic

→ Lighting quality

→ Authenticity

Hudson looks for good filming locations, proper lighting understanding, fashion sense, and comfort talking on camera.

Find genuine, interested creators who can produce 3-7 videos daily across all channels. This ensures a wide spread, whilst keeping plugs from seeming stale or fake to the audience.

Content Testing is Crucial

Test new concepts that most other people aren’t doing.

They don’t need to be outrageous; think of ways to do things a bit differently, that also play to your skills or interests:

Street Interviews
Podcast Clips
Staged Scenarios
Skits

Hudson's team uploads a huge amount of videos weekly, using AI systems to rate content 1-10 based on previous winners, then amplifies top performers through paid promotion across all channels.

One viral hook can generate more revenue than months of traditional marketing spend.

If you don't learn AI, you'll die.

Companies utilising it do things at lightning speed, whilst you're still manual.

The Creator Economics Model

Pay commission-only to avoid upfront costs.

Hudson has creators earning $200K monthly with 40K TikTok followers.

Provide loose scripts showing historical winners,
Onboard with 30-minute training videos,
Let them adapt successful formats to their style.

The e-commerce landscape rewards speed over perfection. And all the people you’re competing with are adopting the latest systems to their advantage.

Don’t be the only one to stick to the old ways of doing things.

Hudson's creators average $200,000 monthly because they prioritise volume testing over singular viral moments.

So, start flooding your market with content before someone else captures your customers…
