What started as a plan to build an audience for her upcoming book suddenly flipped into an unexpected “side quest” — launching a niche candle brand that exploded far beyond her expectations. Tina originally joined Leah’s program to fix what past programs couldn't deliver. This time she wanted clarity, strategy, and a real social presence before releasing her next novel. But while waiting for her manuscript to come back from editing, she decided to test Leah’s launch system on something smaller… a hobby she’d always dabbled in: horror-themed candles. What happened next shocked even her. By following the program step-by-step — without skipping the “ingredients” — Tina and her husband launched Horrified Candles, tapped into a passionate 365-day Halloween/horror niche, collected over 120 post-purchase survey responses, and generated $13,000 in the first 45 days and $24,000+ within two months. And then came the plot twist: Shopify terminated their store without warning, shutting down 30+ pending transactions. Instead of quitting, they rebuilt a new site in 24 hours, got reinstated, and kept going. This episode is a must-listen for any entrepreneur who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid to pivot — especially creatives and authors who want to build a loyal audience before their big launch. In this episode, we explore: * Tina’s original goal: launching her book the right way after her first attempt fell flat* Why she chose to “test” Leah’s launch system on a candle brand* The power of choosing a hyper-specific niche (horror fans & 365-day Halloween lovers)* How she validated demand fast with pre-orders and early email l…","meta_description":"In this episode, Leah sits down with author and entrepreneur Tina Koutras, whose journey took one of the wildest turns we’ve seen inside Legacy Launchpad.…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1795,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/legacy-launchpod-7020638/episodes/29-pivot-test-scale-how-one-launch-system-generated-24k-in-60-days/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/legacy-launchpod-7020638/29-pivot-test-scale-how-one-launch-system-generated-24k-in-60-days.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
