At times the book feels like a sales pitch to work with the writer's company. However, it's filled with great advice, some common sense and actionable steps. In a world that pushes "everything is content" this book encourages you to dig deep, be specific and keep it fresh and tells you exactly how to do it.

I got about as far with this as I cared to. In reality it’s just not for me and I picked this book up for a UGC job. It’s more of a recipe for research on virality rather than a how-To. Just not interested 🙃

foundational
The book expresses certain tools to go viral. However, it’s not detailed enough on how to do it. It’s an open invitation to contact their group to work with them.
