1. 01

   Commodify the founder himself and sell to old customers

   The product is 'James Kemp's Replicant', trained on his $25,000,000 in consulting sales, selling the same set of solutions he used to teach. In September, there were about 8,351 visits, but the revenue for 30 days was $58,000, with direct visits accounting for 42.5%: most buyers already knew him.

2. 02

   public revenue is PR

   At the end of July 2026, the public revenue data was released, and within two months, KanonAgent, Build Radar, PulseMRR, Vibecrowd, and a Chinese article all used its revenue as a title. Referral traffic accounts for 13.4%, more than double that of social media.

3. 03

   but the business is declining

   The best month was December 2025, with $106,579; MRR decreased from $58,029 at the beginning of August to $44,576. Except for the founder's own audience, no channel has been found to bring in new customers.
