Big numbers tend to get all the hype—followers, likes, views. But here’s the secret: a small, committed audience can be far more powerful. Especially when it comes to funding your sports dreams, adventures and work.
At Yaff, we’ve seen creators with less than 100 supporters earning hundreds—even thousands—every month. It's the difference between turning up to that next make-or-break sports event, or documenting that long-awaited Maldives surf trip. How? They show up consistently. They speak directly to their people showing them the highs and the lows of their lifestyle, and they focus on connection, not performance. The key is to build a strong, engaged community.
You don’t need to be famous. You just need to be real. A handful of true fans who believe in you, support your mission, and feel like they’re part of your journey is worth more than 100,000 passive scrollers. It's the same if you're trying to make money from your Instagram account. Some brands will go for the influencers with a high follower count, but many more are interested in micro-influencers. A micro-influencer is a content creator with a smaller, but highly engaged following. They are known for their niche expertise and the strong, personal connections they build with their audience.
So stop waiting until you “grow more.” Start now. Serve the people already paying attention. Build trust. Offer value. Show behind the scenes. Invite them closer. And watch what happens.
The quiet power of small audiences? It’s not just real—it’s sustainable. And it’s yours for the building -
