Key Takeaways
Implement a "Creator Army" strategy by incentivizing hundreds of micro-creators with high affiliate commissions to generate a high volume of content "swings at bat" for your product.
Use "counter-positioning" in marketing to diagnose a common problem or enemy (like Big Pharma or "feminine" features) and offer your product as the specific, necessary solution.
Monitor emerging cultural sub-communities like "looks maxing" to identify underserved niche markets that can be quickly satisfied with private-label consumables.
