Before spring

You've built the audience.
The business is missing.

Thousands follow you because you help them. Yet followers rarely pay the bills.

  1. Followers aren't income

    Likes and views bring reach, not a steady salary.

  2. No time to run a business

    Your content already takes all your time. A shop, deals and systems come on top.

  3. At the mercy of the algorithm

    One change in the app and your reach can vanish overnight.

  4. Afraid of selling out

    You won't push products you don't believe in on people who trust you.

We're the crew.

That's how we work too: you're the one people come for, and we take care of the rest.

Who you'll work with

The Local Guide

Nobody crosses Hardangervidda without a local guide: someone who knows where the trail runs, where the ice holds, and where the view is waiting.

Online, that's me. For more than 20 years I've built websites and webshops, run social media accounts, found names and available domains, designed logos and built brands from scratch. I'm educated in web marketing and business, and I'm at my best where most creators get lost: strategy, SEO, branding and automation.

And I don't walk alone. I bring a team of AI tools that handles much of what an agency would do, with one person accountable.

You're the voice and the face. I know the terrain, and I'll get you there.

— Knut André, Hardanger Bureau

I work with a small number of creators at a time, so each one gets my full attention.

The journey

From seed to harvest.

An apple tree doesn't grow overnight. Neither does a good business. Here's how we go about it together. The timeline is a guide. We set the actual dates together in your plan.

  1. RootsWeeks 1–2

    We find the roots

    We look at your account, your audience and your niche, and find the offer that fits you and them.

  2. GrowthWeeks 3–8

    We build

    Website, shop, product, email and a content system that all work together.

  3. BlossomWeeks 9–12

    We launch

    Content that leads to sales, the first pitches to sponsors and a growing email list.

  4. HarvestAfter that

    We run it and grow it

    We handle operations, customer service, fulfilment and numbers — and scale what works.

Harvest calculator

How much can your tree bear?

A quick estimate of what your audience could be worth each month with the right offer.

What would you sell?

Possible monthly revenue

$370 – $1,470

6 apples on the tree

This is an estimate based on industry benchmarks and the assumptions above. Actual results depend on many factors, including niche, engagement, offer and market conditions, and are not guaranteed.

How we calculate

Followers × engagement (average likes and comments per post ÷ followers) × platform gives an engaged audience. We assume 0.5–2% of them buy each month, at a typical price for the offer you choose. The result is revenue including any VAT, before costs and revenue share. For membership we assume 0.25–1% join each month, and we show month 12, once members have built up. Coaching is capped by how many clients you have time for.

Questions

What people ask

What does it cost?

No upfront cost. We share the revenue under an agreement we settle before we begin, and you keep the majority. We only earn when you earn.

What's mine, and what's yours?

Your name, your voice and your audience are always yours. Ownership of what we build together — website, shop and products — is set out clearly in the partnership agreement before we start.

Do I have to change how I post or who I am?

No. Your voice stays yours. We build around what you already do and only suggest changes when they help.

How many followers do I need?

At least 10,000 on your main platform, and regular posting. If you're not there yet, you'll get a free guide that shows you the way.

Is it really just one person?

Yes — me, Knut André, plus a team of AI tools that handles much of what an agency would do, with one person accountable.

How long until I make money?

It depends on your niche, audience and offer. On the call you'll get an honest estimate for your account — we don't promise what we can't stand behind.

30 minutes, no strings attached. We look at your account together, and you get honest advice on the way forward.

Every month you get a clear statement and your share paid straight to your account.
