'Success begets success', a well-known proverb that means that if you've succeeded once, the more likely it is that you will succeed again. In a similar vein, faking it till you make it tends to work because people associate you with success and tend to be more forgiving of your flaws while focusing and magnifying your wins.
A good quote I heard recently was that no one would be going to Jay-Z concerts if he were broke, despite his talent.
I have family who used to be in the food and beverage supplies business and here's a tactic that a number of their customers have used to greatly increase their popularity: Get their friends and family to queue, often forming long, snaking queues.
What happens then? People see the long queue and assume that people are queuing up because the food's really great.
Conversely, if a restaurant is empty, it tends to remain empty. People simply assume that no one goes there because the food is terrible.
Now, the food in both restaurants could be equally good but people are more likely going to go to the crowded one. Consequently, in the long run, only the crowded one that got their friends and family to queue up is going to survive.
One measure of the success of a project is how many people are following it. Here's a comparison of some big projects, a couple of DeFi projects and Cub's followers:
| Project | Followers |
|---|---|
| Bitcoin | 895,650 |
| UniSwap | 188,461 |
| PancakeSwap | 79,718 |
| SushiSwap | 73,095 |
| GooseFinance | 5,236 |
| CubFinance | 192 |
It has only been a month so early days yet. GooseFinance has been around for 2 months so a bit of catching up to do, but I believe we can do it with the LeoFinance community.
Now, to be clear, this isn't the most important metric out there. Tweets, retweets, publish0x posts, reddit posts would all be more beneficial but this is a simple and quick win.
Simply search for the Cub token on CoinMarketCap and go to the Cub Finance page. Then, click on the star as shown in the picture. Do note that you need to be signed in to your CMC account in order to do so.
Hopefully we catch up with Goose and get to 5,000+ followers in the next month.
