The numbers: yes, we\u00a0do<\/em>\u00a0love them maybe a little too much sometimes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udcc8 60,000+ impressions<\/strong> Fun<\/strong>? Absolutely. So\u2026 what was that viral post actually about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n About\u00a0Gamma<\/strong> (a DIY shop). Powerful story, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n But honestly? So\u2026 why did it really take off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n After thinking about it for a bit, here\u2019s what I realised \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n The power of visibility, personal branding, recognition that\u2019s not just a marketing slogan to me. Yes, I sound like a broken record sometimes haha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But consistency beats genius<\/strong> in the long run. Say something once, and no one notices. That Gamma story had just aired on\u00a0Bar Goens<\/strong>, the TV show by the one and only\u00a0Eric Goens.<\/strong> And I linked that moment of relevance to my own story<\/strong>. Timing. You can\u2019t control it all. Consistency = increasing your odds of getting lucky.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Could I have predicted it? You never know what will hit. So what do you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You keep planting seeds<\/strong>. And even I have to remind myself: It\u2019s about\u00a0who<\/strong>\u00a0you reach,\u00a0what<\/strong>\u00a0you share, and most importantly:\u00a0why<\/strong>\u00a0you do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udce3 Have you ever had a post where you thought, \u201cWTF is happening right now<\/strong>?!\u201d Let me know: send me a message, a DM, or even a carrier pigeon whatever floats your boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I read (almost) everything. \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does this tell the whole story? Not quite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And\u00a0Luk Wyns<\/strong> (a famous Belgian actor and director).
About how Gamma lost\u00a050% of its revenue<\/strong>\u00a0when they stopped using him as the face of their campaign and how,\u00a0just six weeks after his return<\/strong>, sales went right back to normal.
Six weeks after he once again said his legendary \u201cMannekes?<\/strong>\u201d-sentence. (Hold on, it will get clear)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s not the only<\/em> reason the post went viral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n1\ufe0f\u20e3 I truly believe in what I\u2019m saying<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a\u00a0belief.<\/strong> And you can\u00a0feel<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0the difference in the messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n2\ufe0f\u20e3 I keep repeating my message<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
(Or rather, the two go hand in hand \ud83e\udd1d\ud83c\udffc)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Say it\u00a0again and again<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in new forms, with real examples \u2014 and people start to listen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n3\ufe0f\u20e3 Relevance works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
So there was a\u00a0hook to the now<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s what makes it engaging: people recognise<\/strong> something familiar\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0discover<\/strong> your point of view<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n4\ufe0f\u20e3 A little bit of luck<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The algorithm.
Who shares it.
What\u2019s trending that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But by posting regularly, you make yourself discoverable to luck.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Nope.
And that\u2019s exactly the beauty of organic posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you do<\/em> know one thing:
If you don\u2019t post, nothing happens.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Sometimes it\u2019s quiet<\/strong>.
Sometimes something blooms<\/strong>. \ud83c\udf31<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not about the views (even if they still give me a small dopamine hit \ud83d\ude05).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Or the opposite: you poured hours into it, and no one saw it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
