DistributionProven Pattern

Focus on quality engagement with specific people over mass automated outreach

Build real connections by engaging meaningfully with a smaller group of people in your niche rather than using AI to spam generic comments everywhere. Show up consistently for the same people.

When to use

When building a community or audience. Quality connections drive referrals, partnerships, and genuine support more than vanity metrics.

Don't do this

Using AI to leave hundreds of generic comments, copy-pasting the same reply, or focusing only on reach numbers.
