Bro's comment-seeding tactic hits a 1% conversion rate for his $10k MRR app
A creator shares a comment-seeding tactic using multiple accounts to boost engagement on content with low organic reach, achieving a 1% conversion rate for their $10k MRR app. The strategy involves strategically dropping comments on existing comments to increase visibility and drive conversions.
Summary
The speaker describes a growth tactic implemented when their content isn't receiving significant organic traffic through traditional means. Their approach involves leveraging multiple accounts they control to seed comments on posts that already have existing comments. By inserting their own comments into these comment threads, they're able to artificially increase engagement visibility and prominence. This tactic resulted in approximately a 1% conversion rate, which the speaker notes is notably high for organic social media marketing. The discussion also highlights the speaker's systematic approach to content marketing, including maintaining detailed spreadsheets to track content performance and results. The interviewer emphasizes appreciation for the experimental methodology and the level of scale at which the speaker is testing different strategies. This data-driven approach to content seeding appears to be a key component of how they've grown their application to $10k monthly recurring revenue.
