The playbook

  1. 1
    Identify 10-20 micro-influencers (10K-100K followers)

    Use Modash / TikTok search. Micro > mega — better engagement, cheaper to seed, more authentic.

  2. 2
    Mail them free product, no contract

    Just a personal note. No 'must post' clause. Most won't post; the 2-3 that do will offset all 20.

  3. 3
    Design for screenshot virality

    Cal AI's before/after meal photo is duplicatable. The format IS the marketing.

  4. 4
    Re-seed monthly

    Different cohort every 30 days. Compounding distribution.
