Key Takeaways

1

The 'Power Law' of content shows that a tiny fraction of your videos or posts will drive the vast majority of your audience growth and revenue.

2

Acquiring unoptimized digital assets, such as outdated WordPress plugins or Chrome extensions, is a powerful shortcut to gain established traffic and users.

3

Performance-based service models, like taking a percentage of savings from negotiated bills, create a 'win-win' scenario that is highly attractive to customers.
