goal digger (noun). a person who is ambitious and clear about what they want, and who does the repeated, unglamorous work to get there. origin: a play on "gold digger", flipping an insult about wanting someone else's money into an identity about earning your own outcome. plural: goal diggers. see also: the goal digger club, goal digger vs gold digger.
what a goal digger does differently
the word is everywhere on planners and mugs. here is what it means when your goal is users.
keeps one honest number
blended cac, organic included. not followers, not impressions, not "buzz".
does the boring work daily
scripts three hooks, records thirty minutes, replies in the subreddit, reads the sheet, kills two ads. every day.
treats a channel as an experiment
until it produces users repeatedly inside a cac range. then, and only then, it gets budget.
earns standing before promoting
helps in a community for weeks before mentioning the product. no shortcuts that cost the account.
writes it down
every test, every kill, every winner, in a document the next person can read. the club is built on those documents.
says the true thing
"this channel does not work for us" is progress. "we are too early for ads" is progress. vanity is the enemy.
