## Resource

20,000 new followers. Six days. One Instagram post. And the reason it actually worked had nothing to do with the post itself. It worked because she was ready. Most creators aren’t. They get a viral moment, hundreds of thousands of new eyeballs land on their page but it gets stuck. It doesn’t TRULY go viral and within a week…those people are gone. And it’s because there was nothing there to hold them. I'm breaking down the 3 things you need to do before you go viral so that every single one of those new followers has a reason to stick around and the three things to do after you have that viral moment to bring them into your world. We cover: 🎙️ The three things you need to have in place before you go viral 🎙️ The one mistake people make with their links every time 🎙️ What to post the moment a reel takes off to keep new followers in your world 🎙️ The one simple thing 99% of creators never do that will make people share your podcast with their friends Have a guest you want to hear from?
