How TBH activated entire high schools to go viral overnight
Shaan describes Nikita Beer's leaked TBH growth playbook: make an all-black Instagram page for a target high school, follow every student, keep the account private with a 'launching March 22' bio, then accept every follow request at once on launch day to trigger a cascade of notifications and downloads.
“We would create an Instagram page for the high school. It would be called this. The profile would be all black. The bio would say this is launching on, you know, March 22nd at 4 PM. And we would go follow all the people who are from that high school, and we would have our account on private, so they would request to follow us, and we would not accept any requests until March 22nd, and we would accept all of them at once, and then they would all get a notification, and then they would come in, and the app would be there in our bio, and they would download it, and then they would all get notified that their friend has the app”
Steal thisEngineer a synchronized launch moment inside a tight community so every member gets notified at once and downloads together.
