Distribute
Day 3: Distribute
Get your content in front of the right people. Distribution is what separates content that helps from content that ranks but no one reads.
What Today Covers
Content without distribution is a library no one visits. Day 3 is about building the channels, relationships, and systems that get your work in front of your ICP.
The distribution mindset shift: you're not broadcasting. You're contributing to communities, building relationships, and creating systems that compound over time. The founders who "go viral" are usually the ones who've been showing up consistently in the right places for months.
This day typically takes 4-6 hours, plus ongoing work.
