I’m showing you this to prove my content distribution system works.

The best part? You can apply them in ANY industry.

Let’s jump right in.

What Is Content Distribution?

Content distribution is using targeted promotion methods to get your content in front of a targeted audience. There are three components you need for a successful content distribution system: True Fans, Free Traffic Multipliers, and Paid Traffic Multipliers.

True Fans: These are the people who wait in anticipation of every piece of content you create.
Free Traffic Multipliers: These are free traffic methods you use to increase traffic to your content. Perfect for businesses who don’t have a big budget to spend on ads.
Paid Traffic Multipliers: These are paid traffic methods you use to amplify the reach of your content. Perfect for businesses who want to save time by paying to get their content in front of a targeted audience.

These three components are “The Flywheel” that drive consistent, compounding traffic to your content.

Here’s a step-by-step case study of how it works:
