"We're doing this as Christians, and we're aligned in that — that's the whole reason we want to do this. But to expand and grow a ministry, there's a business side, and that's the important side. So here's the breakdown on that."
"I want to set you up to succeed. As black creators and faith creators, we get locked out of the technology ecosystem because nobody shows us the process that goes from a great idea to a successful business. DripRank is a great idea — it's got the same touchstones as your livestream: being seen, community, and affirmation. So I upgraded this admin panel a little, so I could actually show you what that looks like from a business standpoint."
Expenditure
"Every time someone gets a fit, the app does two things — it reads the look, and if it's on, it shows it on them. This is what one of those costs."
AI & funding live
"This is where the AI comes from. It runs on OpenAI — the same company behind ChatGPT. To turn it on, you put a card on the API side of your account and create a key. I've already put a little credit in to get us going."
Open the API keys area → add a payment method (link billing) → create a new secret key → paste it into the box here. That's the whole setup.
Fit-scoring model OpenAI
Try-on model OpenAI
"This is the model that looks at the outfit and scores it. This number is what it costs each time it runs."
"You can turn this on, or off. When it's on, the person sees the clothes on themselves. The point is helping people decide on clothes that'll actually look good on them — more on that in a second."
Cost to run one fit
Return
"This is how many people, out of everyone who uses it, actually go and buy something. On a normal online store it's about two or three in a hundred."
"This is about what you make on a typical clothing sale, after the store takes its cut."
"Right now this is set to 13% — that's about what an affiliate like Amazon pays you. With conversion at 2.5% and profit at $13.50, that gives you the Return over here. →
Now — if you make your OWN clothes, you keep all of the profit. A hundred percent."
ACTION: set commission to 100 — watch the Return"Here's why the try-on matters so much. With it, this is the only place in the world that does what shopping sites have been trying to do since the internet started: help someone decide to buy clothes that'll actually look good on them."
"I'll tell you from my own life — I buy stuff because it looked good on the rack, and then it doesn't look good on me. That's why I barely shop online; on Amazon I can't tell how it'll look on me. That's the wall. But if I can SEE it on me, for real, in the moment — there's no wall. I want to level up."
"Sites that added try-on convert about double."
ACTION: raise conversion rate 2.5 → 4.9Brand Saturation
"This is how many people know about the app over time."
"The hardest thing to do is grow. One way: you build it once, put it in the app store, hand it to one person, they hand it to another — no money spent, slow and steady, a lot like how your TikTok grew. So you launch your app on the stream — that's day zero, and you're going to be there very shortly. Say a hundred users by month three, a thousand by month nine."
"Everybody wants to go viral. Viral really comes from two things together: a technology people have never seen before, and a group of people who aren't being reached with it. DripRank's try-on is the never-seen part; your faith audience is the unreached part. Lensa did almost six million downloads in five days just by giving people an AI-image experience they'd never seen."
"Perfect example — your own ministry app, Kingdom Warriors. You launch it on your TikTok — fifteen thousand followers — and get, say, a hundred downloads day one." DRAG the start (left) dot up to where it fits — ~100, ~1000, or ~15k
"But a ministry app only reaches people already in the ministry — there's no reason for an outsider to ever share it. So it starts where it starts, and it stays flat." Make it flat: raise the LEFT dot up to where the RIGHT dot already is
"So I think these two things help each other. Put DripRank inside the Kingdom Warriors app but bring users into a room branded specifically for Kingdom Culture the faith based clothing brand. Inside of the app its a room, within the concept of how you have rooms for leisure, etc but its for faith based clothing. Its also has its own signup page and if you join this way the fit experience isn't ranked by default - you can choose to turn it on later. This allows you to provide a pathway to reach faith audiences directly and for it to actually be that shareable feature within the kingdom warriors app. Then when you promote the app in your stream its 'this is place where you can find faithful fits' because you have a faith aligned pathway and a location within the app that's consistent with what the audience is interested in. Same concept might be applied in the future when getting the app out there to communities for athletic wear for that type of attire, its taking the rooms concept and expanding it to mean that joining this way means that your experience is this - like hope church, one church many campuses. I attend hope ankeny stuff all the time, but I'm a member at elim. Someone else might be the opposite."

"And the ministry app has a reason to be shared beyond the ministry and expand the ministry. So it doesn't just start high — it climbs, faster than either one alone." SECOND move — ministry networks share: raise the RIGHT dot up
"Let's get your feedback and talk again Friday — this is a good rhythm. We'll have some stuff moving between now and then."
Moderation
"And you asked for this — full control. Anything anybody posts, you can take down, right here, per person. Your house, your rules."
