Use a free random-picker tool that archives each handle and entry URL; export the CSV, sieve for duplicate tags, and openly post the winner’s handle plus a 30-second screen recording of the draw. Full visibility cuts charge-back disputes by 92 % and keeps comment sentiment above 80 % cheerful during the 48 h post-campaign window.
Forge a 1-Page Lead Magnet That Solves One Pain in 10 Minutes
Take the exact question you answer five times a week in support chats and turn it into a step-by-step PDF. 72 % of SaaS founders who did this in March 2024 added 430–680 fresh contacts within 14 days (source: Paddle Benchmark).

must mirror the channel title byte-for-byte; extra whitespace trigger error 400.
inside needs a working mailbox; Apple sends legal notices there and bounces kill the whole show.
requires one primary and up to two subcategories; spell them exactly as listed in the official tree—"Society & Culture" not "Culture & Society".
must be perfectly square, RGB, 72 dpi, no alpha; pre-crop the rounded edges—Apple no longer crops, it simply denies non-compliant files.
for every episode: HH:MM:SS format; e.g., 5:3 instead of 05:03 break scrubber display.
has to stay immutable; altering the string after approval zeroes reviews and rankings.
Check the enclosure length attribute against the actual MP3 byte size; a 200-byte mismatch flags "episode unavailable" on mobile clients.
Trust Button Close: End with a Micro-Invitation That Sparks Private Replies
Kill the generic "DM me" for a one-click micro-invitation: drop a pre-filled Telegram link that opens a chat with your username and the exact first sentence already typed. Example URL:
Layer on more: after tagging, entrants must repost the giveaway graphic to Stories and link your profile. Stories with @mentions generate one-fifth-plus link clicks than those without. Use a disappearing Story template so you can scrape reposts via the "Add Yours" sticker; pull the list of participants straight from the sticker dashboard before it expires.
Embed a three-sentence IP paragraph to every invoice: "All preliminary and final artwork stay the sole property of [Studio] until paid in full. License kicks in only upon cleared payment. Unauthorized use triggers statutory damages up to $150,000 per infringement under 17 U.S.C. §504." One Denver illustrator bagged $18,000 in statutory damages within 60 days after a startup deployed unpaid icons in its seed-round pitch deck.
Archive time-stamped upload receipts and a copy of the deposit; courts accept only the file you upload. If the piece updates quarterly, register each version individually–statutory damages reset per registration.
Anchor every sensation to a number. The fluorescent light hiccuped every four-point-seven seconds; your pulse held 112 bpm. Those figures glue readers to the scene better than flowery fluff ever will. When you repeat the $7.46 again—this time as the dead-on price of two-day-old bagels you split with the night janitor—you turn poverty into a universal unit of measure everyone can heft in their palm.
Apple Podcasts Connect refuses feeds that reference redirect chains or need sign-in. Substitute every https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/view with https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILE_ID and serve only stereo 44.1 kHz MP3 audio under two hundred megabytes. Larger files trigger a stealth failure in the RSS ingest queue.
Lock the cart at 90 h. Instantly redirect the page to a priority list; collect emails for the next cycle and fuel FOMO. Repeat the playbook every 30 days; the evergreen product keeps pulling between 1.9k–2.4k $97 sales per 30 days without more ad budget.
Audit Your RSS Feed with Apple’s Required Tags & Artwork
Push the feed through Podcasts Connect preview before any public listing; the portal bounces entries missing a single mandatory tag or a 3000 × 3000 px JPEG/PNG under 512 KB.
Murder adjectives; swap one noun for a gut-punch word: "jet-fuel" instead
Carve the scene to exactly 117 words: the instant moment the bank balance hit –$2.47, the eviction notice taped to the door, the 03:17 a.m. voicemail from your daughter asking when you were coming home. Whisper it aloud; if your pulse stays under 100 bpm, trim another 10 % until the gut reaction returns–that is the visceral data your reader needs.
Export the cover at 72 dpi, sRGB, no ICC profile; run through ImageOptim till ≤ 512 KB.
Host the image on a cross-origin-friendly HTTPS domain; Dropbox raw links expire and kill the feed.
Paste the feed URL into W3C validator first, then into Podcasts Connect; fix every red line—yellow warnings turn into rejections at editorial review.
After approval, shelve test episodes with yes; removing the tag later pushes them live without re-review.
