There is no magic number. Nano creators with 1,000 to 10,000 followers and strong engagement already earn through gifting, paid posts and affiliate links, because brands pay for trust and niche fit, not raw size. The money starts when you treat it like a business, pitching, setting rates and adding affiliate, not when you cross some follower milestone. Engagement at 5k beats a dead 50k every time.
