How a Student App Got 100,000,000 Organic Views
Lessons from getting 100 million views and $400,000 in sales with $0 ad spend:
- Consistency is Key: Keep posting content, even if you don’t see immediate results. The more you post, the higher your chances of a video going viral.
- Capitalize on Viral Content: When a video goes viral, make variations of it and repost it on multiple platforms and accounts.
- Be Direct and Transparent: Don’t try to trick people with subtle product placement. Clearly explain and showcase your product in your videos. Authenticity resonates better with audiences and leads to higher conversions.

Why Don’t We Have a 15-Hour Work Week?
Economists thought that by 2030 we’d work 15-hour weeks.

But we seem to be working more than ever, with technology adding extra tasks to our work.
Learn how we all got into this mess and how to focus on fulfilling work instead of little tasks.
