2 builders who never spoke to each other

Set one target the whole list chases

Instead of individual tiers, promise the audience something if they collectively reach a referral count before a deadline, or run a named challenge everybody joins at once. Growth then comes from participants talking to each other about it rather than from you promoting, and keeping it to a few times a year preserves the force.

The method

1. 01

   Set a collective target instead of an individual one: promise the whole list something if they jointly reach a referral count inside a deadline, and use it only a few times a year so it keeps its force.

2. 02

   Run a named challenge that subscribers join together, so growth comes from participants talking about it rather than from you promoting it.

What it returned

• 2000

  An example is committing to ship a product or write on a much-requested topic if readers together produce 2000 referrals before the month ends, run one to four times per year.

• 1000

  Anthony Castrio built a growth challenge called Speedrun 1000 around his community and said it made his newsletter grow ten times faster, with no paid acquisition.
