A photograph sold for $1.47 Million.
I don't have a copy to show you, unfortunately.
At an auction in October 2021, a signed photograph of Jackson sold for $1.47 million.
That Jackson was Shoeless Joe Jackson, a famous baseball player.
Since he was illiterate and usually had his wife sign things for him, anything with his genuine signature is extremely rare.
For collectors, rarity is what brings the big money.
Jackson did not play without shoes except on one occasion.
During one game before his professional career, he took his shoes off because the new cleats gave him a blister.
One of the opposing fans noticed and called out, "You shoeless son of a gun, you!".
The name stuck.
You can find the Wikipedia entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoeless_Joe_Jackson.
So that story is more or less interesting, depending on how big a fan you are of baseball.
My wife said, "Who cares?".
My answer was. "Baseball fans".
Everyone should pay attention to the fact that different people see value in different things.
It's the same with your marketing.
It's relatively easy to get 100,000 people to visit your web page.
But if those people are baseball fans and your page is about soccer, do you think they'll stay long?
Not likely.
Nor will they click any ads or links.
But, if the page is about baseball, they will click ads and links because rabid fans will read (and buy) everything they can relating to their chosen interests.
You only need 1000 true fans to make a very nice living online.
If each of those fans spends $100 with you over a year, that's a 6-figure income.
It works out at less than $10 a month.
That could be a really low-budget membership site.
You can start here for free.
