Hey Reader,

Yesterday I asked you a simple question.

What feels harder right now. Getting people to buy for the first time. Or getting them to buy again.

Today, I want to talk about something that sits just beyond both of those.

The stage that turns happy customers into repeat buyers and natural promoters of your work.

The Advocacy Stage of the Creator’s Growth Flywheel

If you have ever thought.

“People tell me they love my offers. So why is no one talking about them.”

or

“I get great feedback, but I am still the only one promoting my business.”

You are not alone.

Most creators assume advocacy is something that “just happens” when people like what you do.

A random shoutout here.

A testimonial there.

A client who sends a friend once in a while.

That is not a system. That is luck.

Advocacy is different.

Advocacy is what happens when you intentionally design your experience so that:

People get a real transformation they feel proud of working with you and you make it incredibly easy to share

There are two kinds of advocacy:

Passive advocacy. The occasional organic shoutout that happens when people remember to mention you.

Active advocacy. The intentional, built in invitations and tools that turn your best customers into amplifiers.

Examples include:

• Referral links
• Simple copy and paste messages
• Swipe copy to send a friend
• A quick link to leave a two sentence testimonial
• A small reward for sharing

When you build active advocacy into your business, growth stops relying only on your effort.

Your best buyers become your best marketers.

And your offers start to spread in ways that feel organic but are not accidental.

If you are wondering whether advocacy is actually your biggest opportunity right now, here is your next step.
