“Over a hundred orders for the herbal bath packs!”
Sophia was momentarily stunned. What did over a hundred orders mean? Since the herbal packs were sold in bundles of four for $1,000, with a fifth pack as a bonus, each order amounted to $1,000. That translated to tens of thousands of dollars. Adding to that, the 400 orders for the acne cream, which amounted to $5,000–$6,000, the total sales were staggering. And this was just the beginning—after a single demonstration! It was unbelievable! The livestream had just over 3,000 viewers, far fewer than some big stores that could have tens or hundreds of thousands of viewers. How many sales must those stores generate?
It became clear that doing well on platforms like Amazon was extremely lucrative.
Although Sophia wasn’t very familiar with Amazon, given her previous experience with similar platforms in her home country, she found herself amazed at how effective this platform was.
Even Chloe couldn’t help but smile. While the nearly $20,000 in revenue wasn’t a significant amount for them, this was only the first day, and the stream had only been running for about an hour. Some stores livestream from early morning until late into the night, earning astronomical amounts in a single day.
No wonder there were news stories about influencers earning millions in just an hour of streaming. It suddenly felt entirely plausible!
The sales and traffic from the Amazon livestream were incredible. Compared to other marketing methods, it seemed far more effective.
“Host, why are you wearing sunglasses? We can’t see your face clearly.”
“Yeah, Host! Show your face, please!”
“Host, could the model’s results be because of her unique body type? I’ve tried so many acne treatments, and nothing has worked for me. It’s been so frustrating.”
“Please test it on someone else!”
Sophia exchanged a glance with Chloe and smiled, “Alright, we’ll find another person with severe acne to test the product. If any of you are watching live near our Chloe Beauty Salon and don’t mind being on camera, feel free to come over. I’ll let you try our products for free.”
“So generous? Now I want to go to Orlando!”
“I wish I could go too. Let the Host test it on me before I buy anything.”
“Wow, can I be a model and get the products for free?”
Sophia laughed. “Sure, we’ll give you the acne cream and a $1,000 set of herbal bath packs for free if you’re willing to be our model! You can see the results for yourself and help us prove that we’re not faking anything.”
“PiggyPP: Host, I just checked—I live near you! I have a decent figure and don’t mind being on camera. Are you sure it’s free?”
Sophia smiled. “Absolutely! If you come, I can even take your pulse to figure out the cause of your acne.”
Sophia assumed the commenter was joking. To her surprise, 20 minutes later, a young woman knocked on the door, wearing a swimsuit under a long knitted cardigan.
— “Host, I’m PiggyPP!”
Sophia blinked in surprise. “You really came?”
PiggyPP, whose real name was Debra, smiled shyly as she appeared on camera.
Sophia glanced at her and couldn’t help but exclaim, “You have a fantastic figure!”
“Not as good as yours, Host,” Debra said enviously, stealing a glance at Sophia. “Your skin is flawless, and you’re so beautiful. I wish I could say the same, but my face is covered in acne.”
Debra had once been a high school model for fashion magazines and had started her career strong. But her luck ran out when she entered college and began struggling with severe acne that no treatment could cure. Her work dwindled over the years, and eventually, no one wanted to hire her. She hadn’t been on camera for years.
Sophia cleaned Debra’s skin, applied the acne cream, and then took her pulse before thoughtfully commenting, “Your acne is primarily caused by hormonal imbalances. I can prescribe some medicine for you to take alongside using the cream. It’ll clear up quickly.”
Sitting in the soaking tub, Debra asked hesitantly, “Host, how quickly? What’s the longest it could take to see results?”
Sophia answered honestly, “For the most severe acne—those with deep scarring and pits—it might take up to two months. For mild cases like yours, it should clear up in no more than a month.”
Debra’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You call this mild? And you’re saying one month?”
“Yes, one month!” Sophia replied confidently.
“That’s impossible! I’ve seen the best doctors and tried every product imaginable, both here and abroad. Nothing has worked. How can you guarantee such fast results?”
Sophia chuckled. “You’ve seen many doctors, but you haven’t seen me. Your acne isn’t just due to hormonal imbalance; it’s also related to excess internal coldness affecting your organs. Fixing the hormonal imbalance alone won’t work. But don’t worry, with my herbal treatment, you’ll be clear within a month!”
Debra remained skeptical. Sophia’s confidence reminded her of an old TV doctor overhyping a cure.
“Did the commenter actually show up?”
“Amazing! You can just go to the Host directly!”
“Wow, this is so cool. I’ll visit Chloe Beauty Salon someday too. Please open one in my city!”
“Is this for real? The model doesn’t seem fake, though. Her acne looks very real!”
“The Host seems very professional.”
“Isn’t the Host too young to be this skilled? Are there really doctors this young?”
Sophia smirked but didn’t respond. Half an hour later, Debra stood up, and the livestream erupted.
“Wow! Her skin is glowing!”
“Amazing! This bath pack really works!”
“Her acne has visibly reduced!”
“Unbelievable! I’m buying it now!”
“Me too! This is like a miracle!”
When Debra saw her reflection in the mirror, she knew she was now Sophia’s number one fan.

Sophia hadn’t expected Amazon to generate so much traffic. Despite having only six to seven thousand viewers during her first day of streaming, the results were astonishing. Over 1,000 bottles of acne cream and 300–400 sets of herbal bath packs were sold in a single day. The livestream went on until 2 a.m., with viewers staying tuned to learn Sophia’s skincare tips and wellness advice.
