Your fancy Twitter threads aren’t working. I know you’ve spent hours crafting them, only to watch them sink into the abyss with 3 likes—all from your coworkers who felt obligated. The truth?

The Power of Reddit-inflected Growth: Why Engaging in Niche Subreddits Can Drive Real Traffic

Posted on July 16, 2025 by founder

Most marketers are completely blowing it on Reddit. They drop promotional links, get banned within minutes, and then declare “Reddit doesn’t work for marketing.” I’ve spent the last four years building six-figure businesses primarily through Reddit traffic, and I can tell you definitively: most marketers fail because they don’t understand Reddit’s fundamental nature.

Growth Hacking with Video: Why Short, Unpolished Reels Are More Effective on X

Most marketers are wasting thousands of dollars chasing after influencers with massive follower counts while completely missing the goldmine right in front of them: micro-influencers with seemingly “insignificant” audiences of 1,000-10,000 followers.

Breaking the Algorithm: How to Use Controversial Topics on X for Explosive Growth

While everyone’s busy recycling the same tired advice, the platform’s most explosive growth is happening around controversial conversations that divide rooms and command attention.

Cold Outreach 2.0: Using Predictive Analytics to Personalize Your Approach at Scale

Posted on July 11, 2025 by founder

Let’s be brutally honest – your cold outreach is failing because it’s still stuck in 2010. Generic templates, spray-and-pray tactics, and superficial “personalization” that fools absolutely no one. The average decision-maker receives 100+ solicitation emails weekly, and your “Just following up” messages are being deleted faster than you can say “circle back.” But there’s a…
