Priority 1: game & app studios, home sellers (UK + Bali & Phuket) · Priority 2: importers · every channel scored on cash, certainty and risk
One engine, four markets. Bali & Phuket and the UK pay first; game studios build the most sellable list; importers join in month 3.
Slowest money, most sellable asset. Needs a named voice to grow fast.
Open the plan →02P1Fastest proof that buyers pay. Thin margin until owned traffic grows.
Open the plan →03P1Cheapest start and biggest money per deal, if your network converts. Phuket is hotter than Bali now.
Open the plan →04P2Priority 2: start in month 3 once a P1 market shows first proof.
Open the plan →Priorities are yours: game & app studios and home sellers are P1, importers P2. The research ranks the money speed differently: Bali & Phuket (with your network) and the UK pay first, games is the slowest money but builds the most sellable asset.
The same five blocks in every market. Only the data, the channels and the buyer change.
Rules carried over from earlier rounds: tools must use the visitor’s own data (formula calculators are now answered by Google itself); every visitor is moved onto an owned list; no mass AI pages, no AI bots in communities, no faceless video as the core asset; buyers pay by invoice (wire or Payoneer), no Stripe.
Green = use, yellow = maybe later, red = skip, grey = does not apply.

Use = phase 1 in that market. Later = phase 2 or 3 after proof. Skip = a trap there (published costs higher than the value of a result). Grey = does not apply.
Phase-1 budget per month and weeks to the first paid result.

Budgets are the phase-1 recommendation per market; weeks are to the first paid result (Bali & Phuket: first commission at the deed).
Months 1–6. P1 markets start together; importers start in month 3. Red = go/no-go gate.
Importers wait for a P1 proof because they need their own lawyer check and a hired Polish speaker for fairs.
Roughly how many owners, agents, villa managers and chat admins can you message? The plan assumes 30–50 owners, 5–10 agents and 5–8 admins.
Suggested: Bali & Phuket $450/mo (+$800 legal once), UK Lean $1k/mo, games Lean $200/mo; importers $500/mo from month 3. About $1.7k a month to start.
LinkedIn, podcasts and events work only with a real person: you, or a hired part-time editor ($400–800/mo). Decide by week 5.
Agents want short calls before paying: you, or a commission-only UK rep.
