The "check if they recommend you back" audit in Step 1 is such an obvious move in hindsight, but I don't think I've seen anyone actually operationalize it with a 3-day follow-up and a hard "remove if no reply" rule. Most creators let dead-weight recommendations sit there out of politeness.
Curious about the /recommendations trail method in Step 2 ā when you're pulling someone else's recommended list, how do you gut-check that their audience actually overlaps with yours vs. just being in the same broad niche? That's the part I'd worry about scaling too fast.
352 subscribers from recommendations is a great proof point for a channel most people treat as an afterthought.
Recommendations is the silent growth going in the background 24/7 of running the publication.
Recommendations are like passive growth once secured!!
Don't underestimate the strong power or recommending other publications!!
Recommend your friends!
I couldnāt have said it better, Jess. :D
