Dear Insider,
In the previous Insider Episode, I asked you to never look at the numbers. Today’s episode shares observations about growth-hacking reels on social media, and the importance of avoiding shortcuts.
In life and everywhere else, there are two types of games to play - finite and infinite. Can you tell them apart?
The SneakyArt (Insider) Podcast is made for Insiders, the patrons of SneakyArt. Here, I discuss the good ideas that inform my journey as an artist and writer.
Like all good ideas, they are borrowed, imbibed, and adapted from others. They work for me and I hope they will work for you as well. Enjoy!
🤳🏼 My Growth Hacking Reel Experiment
Have you heard of growth hacking? It is a very popular trend all over Reels and TikTok, which uses a variation of the following tantalizing question -
“Do you want to know how I made 200,000 number of followers as an artist in just 2 weeks? Read the caption to find out!”
I hate shortcuts. So I made an anti growth hacking reel to see what it would do. It went, uh, kinda viral with 602k views (as of right now)!
