74. Six-figure Launches with only a few Thousand Followers - Sophie from Cours de Japonais
Sophie Thomas teaches Japanese to people who speak French — but there’s nothing “standard” about her courses because Sophie has a distinct niche.

Indeed, she’s possibly the only person currently teaching French speakers what they need to learn before going to Japan.
What you’ll learn in this interview:
- Sophie’s story
- How to make big money with a small audience
- Involve your audience in your course creation
- Stand out with a point of difference
- Market the result instead of the pathway
- Hints for streaming on Twitch
- Sophie’s tips for Langpreneurs
