Depends on the platform and what "viral" means.

Where do you want to go viral and what does it mean to you?

Good points.

Maybe something like making two person teams of a non-talker and talker?

Non-talker is getting trained to be a talker while the talker is doing the recruiting?

Non-talker holds sign / hands out writing implement. Talker talks.

Everyone slowly moves up the chain?

Helping people like you are seems like an amazing start. Maybe try to get a pyramid structure going where you teach people to help other people and then they teach people and then it’s a movement? But at all times a low level of effort so there is no pressure other than just holding up a sign or a marker.

I’ve found the hardest thing is breaking the ice and the sign / marker normalises a low stakes interaction where one participant can walk away at any time

I clicked, thinking it would show me funny Claude responses to prompts. That would definitely make it more engaging. Something like Regretsy.

"In our study (Vaci et al., 2019), we tracked ninety chess players of differing skill levels for almost 20 years. They were of different ages, which allowed us to investigate not only the beginnings and peaks of chess skill, but also the later stages of the chess career."

I’d love to learn more about the Soviet Space programme. Short of asking my favorite LLM, are there any books / articles you’d recommend?

Congratulations on your first internet dollar! So many people try and never make it as far as you have!

Off of the top of my head, a few things to think about as you start / continue this journey:

- find out how the original (only) customer found you and see who else is around - ask for a referral from the original customer - figure out what else you can sell to the original customer

Realistically, it depends on what you mean by "expand". Are you looking to build a venture-fundable business, something that grows into a job replacement for you, or something that helps pay for weekend activities?

Depending on what your aim is the "what do I do next" activities will be drastically different.

So what type of expansion are you looking to do?

(author here). Agreed - definitely like how Math Academy does it. That said, my kids definitely _do not_ like earning negative XP. I tend to agree with my kids on that one :)
