And I'll kind of break down the distinction because people think about, and especially a lot of business owners, business owners can kind of think about virality and be like, well, I just want to generate more leads. I want to generate more customers, more purchases for my brand.

And they can't kind of correlate it because they think virality is like that pesky teenager down the street that's making dance videos on TikTok. Yeah. But the reality is, if you think about almost all businesses today have some type of social media presence. And let's just say that on average, you're generating, let's say, 10,000 views of video.

Now, people listening to this, I want you to take whatever that number is, 1,000, 10,000, maybe some people are generating 100,000, and then multiply that by 10. Then multiply that by 100.
