Programs stick when you combine real fans with clear structure. Recruit creators who already tag you, since enthusiasm cannot be bought. Give them a simple setup: perks, a personal code or commission and one easy monthly deliverable. Make assets and briefs effortless so they never have to guess. Start with five to ten engaged ambassadors, not a hundred passive ones, and reward your top performers so the rest push harder.
