đ„č Stop Training Your Audience to Wait
Launch week usually performs. The real signal shows up after the deadline passes.
If momentum collapses immediately, you havenât just lost velocity, youâve trained your audience to respond only to novelty.
That conditioning quietly raises your future CAC because every campaign now requires a bigger event to trigger the same attention.
Thatâs the hidden tax. You can design against it before the launch even starts.
1. Structure the Launch to Carry Forward
Momentum doesnât sustain itself. It must be engineered. During launch week:
Anchor identity clearly so the right buyers self-select faster.
Offer a permanent advantage, such as a locked founder tier, instead of a shallow discount that disappears.
Introduce a second spotlight event mid-launch, like a structured playbook or limited variation, to reset evaluation instead of repeating the pitch.
Each move changes the decision matrix. Nothing stays static.
The tradeoff is discipline. If you reopen the âpermanentâ tier later or recycle urgency language too loosely, credibility erodes fast.
2. Activate Phase Two Immediately
The biggest mistake is returning to regular programming once the deadline ends.
Instead, launch Phase Two.
Public proof from early buyers.
A visible onboarding sprint.
A structured challenge or usage system that keeps the product moving.
The mechanism is narrative continuation. If the story expands, attention stays allocated. Without that second arc, the product becomes background noise.
3. Expand Reach Without Resetting Stakes
Sustaining hype is not about extending the same offer.
Itâs about widening the chamber while keeping urgency intact.
Segment intensity so engaged subscribers feel the stakes are tightening while colder audiences receive reinforcement instead of pressure. This protects deliverability and increases conversion density.
If additional reach is needed, distribution like Share Local Mediaâs Shared Mail program can introduce new qualified households into the same evolving narrative without operational drag. April Shared Mailings close on 3/2. Secure your spot now!
Launch week creates a spark. Phase Two creates oxygen.
Without oxygen, your brand becomes addicted to fireworks. And fireworks get expensive.

đ Cloudflareâs Markdown Feature Raises SEO Concerns
Cloudflare introduced âMarkdown for Agents,â a feature that converts HTML pages into Markdown when AI crawlers request it. The aim is to reduce token usage and make content easier for AI systems to process. The rollout has sparked debate around SEO integrity and content transparency.
The Breakdown:
1. HTML Converted at the Edge - When a request includes Accept: text/markdown, Cloudflare converts HTML into Markdown automatically. It does not create a new URL but serves a different representation. Token usage can drop by up to 80%.
2. Built for AI Crawlers - The feature targets AI agents that consume structured text more efficiently. A token estimate header is included in the response. Separate cached versions are stored using content negotiation rules.
3. Cloaking Risk - Because the markdown header is forwarded to the origin server, sites can detect AI traffic, allowing different content to be served to machines versus users. That opens the door to hidden instructions or altered data.
4. Search Engine Resistance - Google and Microsoft discourage machine-only page versions. They warn about added crawl load and the need to verify content similarity. HTML remains the preferred standard.
Serving cleaner formats may improve AI efficiency, but it complicates trust, indexing, and verification. Operators should weigh token savings against potential search risk before enabling machine-specific representations.
