Going Viral is Slowing You Down

ByJowi

Hey Reader,

I can’t hear it anymore.

Going viral has started to become a red flag for me.

Everybody is waiting to go viral.
Yet it’s not worth that much.

What happens when you go viral?

You become known for that one thing.
Most people that go viral only end up as one-hit wonders.

Going viral also means that you’ll be shown to many new people— people that won’t fit your dream clients.

You’ll have to deal with:

  • Many less comments
  • More noise
  • People who just want to get your attention

If you’re not prepared for it, it can easily distract you from the situation you had in the first place.

Going viral is a vicious cycle of dopamine.​
It feels good—and you want to do it again.

Often, going viral does not mean your business is going to grow.

Instead of trying to go viral:
​Try to build deeper relationships with your people.

Do things that don’t scale for individuals.
Make sure to know your people and directly work towards them.

No matter what people say:
​Going viral is not a strategy you can master.

There are certainly points to consider,
but even Mr. Beast can’t guarantee it.

He knows what makes a good YouTube video—
but it doesn’t mean his videos will always keep performing better.

It is also so much more rewarding to have a loyal group you actually get to know​
than to respond to a wave of comments you can’t keep up with.

Build for the legacy, not for the trial of fame.

​

Keep chopping Wood!

  • We’ve got productivity backwards

    The core idea behind productivity is well-meaning. It is to make our work more productive. That we are able to produce more. I think the core driver is to do a job better. We want to achieve bigger things and so we constantly seek to improve — from riding a horse to driving a carriage to driving a car is an improvement in speed and comfort. The driving question is to improve what we are doing. A farmer does a job better when he can produce more bushels per acre – more tons per hectare. A…

  • Better Offer

    ByJowi

    Better Offer The most important thing to improve is: Your offer. This is the foundation of your business. There is no way around that. If you don’t have an offer or you have a bad offer – nobody will buy. Nobody will talk with you. It’s like you’re trying to sell old fish. It smells so bad that nobody is willing to get close to you. No matter how much Marketing you do, word about your bad fish will spread. No matter how much you have optimized in your business or even automated. If your offer…
