+# Story Angles - What Earns Press
+
+Distilled from Corey Haines's *Founding Marketing*, ch. 5. Chase press for the **compound effect** - authority, journalist relationships, AI-citation surface - not the traffic bump. The bump fades in a day; the backlinks, the relationships, and the citable record don't.
+
+**The story is not your product.** Journalists write about trends, data, conflict, and humans. Your product is the evidence, never the headline. If the pitch is "we built a thing," there's no story. If the pitch is "here's a shift happening and we're proof of it," there is.
+
+## Contents
+- The three story angles
+- Newsworthy moments (data stories)
+- Build media relationships before you need them
+- The PR flywheel (repurposing map)
+
+---
+
+## The Three Story Angles
+
+Every earned-media story worth pitching bends toward one of three shapes. Pick the one that fits your moment - don't force all three.
+
+### 1. Founding Story
+
+The origin, the build, the numbers-in-public. Works because people follow *people*, and a founder with skin in the game is quotable in a way a product never is.
+
+- **When to use:** you're early, you have a sharp personal reason you exist, and you're willing to build in public and share real revenue.
+- **Exemplar:** Pieter Levels' "12 startups in 12 months" - shipping in the open, posting MRR screenshots, letting the challenge itself be the story. The build *was* the coverage.
+- **How to run it:** share the arc (why you started, what you've learned, where the numbers are now), not the feature list. Revenue transparency is the hook most founders are too scared to use.
+
+### 2. David vs Goliath
+
+Own your size. Being small against an incumbent is an advantage in the story, not a liability - you're the underdog readers root for.
+
+- **When to use:** there's a giant in your category and you do one thing dramatically better than they do.
+- **Exemplar:** Superhuman vs Gmail - a tiny team reframing "we're small" into "we're the fast, obsessive alternative to the default everyone tolerates."
+- **How to run it:** name the Goliath, name the one thing you beat them at, and let the size gap do the emotional work. Don't hide that you're small - lead with it.
+
+### 3. Have an Enemy
+
+Give the reader something to be against. The enemy is a **broken system**, not a competitor. Attacking a rival looks petty; attacking a genuinely broken status quo looks principled - and journalists cover principled fights.
+
+- **When to use:** there's a systemic wrong in your space you can credibly stand against, and you're willing to take a real position.
+- **Exemplar:** HEY vs Apple's App Store (2020) - the fight wasn't "Basecamp vs Apple the company," it was against App Store rules founders saw as broken. It became a press cycle *and* a policy conversation.
+- **How to run it:** define the broken system precisely, stake a clear position, and make sure you're actually willing to be quoted taking that stance. A half-hearted enemy reads as a marketing stunt.
+
+**Guardrail:** the enemy must be a system or a norm - never a named competitor. "Company X is bad" is a smear; "this way of doing things is broken" is a movement.
+
+---
+
+## Newsworthy Moments: Data Stories
+
+Beyond the three angles, the most reliably pitchable moment is a **data story** - proprietary numbers no one else has, packaged as an industry benchmark. Journalists can build a whole piece around a stat; you get the citation.
+
+- **Exemplars:** Stripe's *State of New User* / annual data reports; Intercom's benchmark reports. Each turns internal data into an annual, citable, must-cover event.
+- **Why it works:** it's original, it's quotable, and it positions you as the source-of-record for your category's numbers. It also compounds in AI answers - benchmark stats get lifted and re-cited for years.
+- **How to run it:** find the one number in your data that surprises, wrap it in methodology, and package it as a standalone one-pager (not your homepage). See [journalist-pitching.md](journalist-pitching.md) → the "Data story" template.
+
+**Milestone reminder:** a milestone alone ("we hit $1M ARR") isn't a story - milestone *with narrative* is. Attach the number to a shift, a lesson, or a David-vs-Goliath frame.
+
+---
+
+## Build Media Relationships Before You Need Them
+
+Cold-pitching a journalist the day you have news is the hard way. The founders who get covered built the relationship months earlier. It's a ladder - climb it before you need the favor.
+
+1. **Follow their beat.** Read their last 5 articles. Know what they cover and what they're tired of covering. (See the discovery checklist in [journalist-pitching.md](journalist-pitching.md).)
+2. **Add value with no ask.** Reply to their work with a genuinely useful data point or correction. Share their pieces. Answer a question they post on X. Give before you take.
+3. **Be a reliable source.** When they need a quote fast, be the person who responds in 20 minutes with a clean, quotable line - even when there's nothing in it for you. Reliability is what turns a contact into a relationship.
+
+Do this for a handful of journalists on your beat and, when you finally have a real story, you're pitching a relationship, not a stranger.
+
+---
+
+## The PR Flywheel (Repurposing Map)
+
+One core asset feeds every other channel. Don't create five things - create one exceptional thing and reformat it five ways. Each format extends the reach of the same idea and gives journalists more of a public trail to find.
+
+```
+Core asset (data report / strong POV / founding story)
+    │
+    ├─→ Thread (X / LinkedIn) - the hook, teased publicly
+    ├─→ Article (your blog) - the full argument, the destination
+    ├─→ Guest post (someone else's audience) - borrow reach
+    ├─→ Podcast appearance - the spoken, citable version
+    └─→ Video - the durable, AI-crawled version
+```
+
+- **Sequence matters less than coverage.** Publish the article as the owned home base, tease it as a thread, pitch the guest post and podcast off the same idea, cut the video from the recording.
+- **Every format strengthens the next pitch.** A journalist who can find your thread, article, and podcast on a topic sees a voice in the space - not an opportunist. This is the public trail that makes newsjacking land (see [newsjacking.md](newsjacking.md) → The Public Trail).
+- **The asset is the flywheel's fuel.** One strong data story or POV can run this loop for weeks. Weak assets stall it immediately.

+
+# Referral & Affiliate Programs
+
+You are an expert in viral growth and referral marketing. Your goal is to help design and optimize programs that turn customers into growth engines.
+
+## Before Starting
+
+**Check for product marketing context first:**
+Read the established product context described in [the shared workflow](../stacks-marketing/WORKFLOW.md) before asking questions.
+
+Gather this context (ask if not provided):
+
+### 1. Program Type
+- Customer referral program, affiliate program, or both?
+- B2B or B2C?
+- What's the average customer LTV?
+- What's your current CAC from other channels?
+
+### 2. Current State
+- Existing referral/affiliate program?
+- Current referral rate (% who refer)?
+- What incentives have you tried?
+
+### 3. Product Fit
+- Is your product shareable?
+- Does it have network effects?
+- Do customers naturally talk about it?
+
+### 4. Resources
+- Tools/platforms you use or consider?
+- Budget for referral incentives?
+
+---
+
+## Should You Engineer Virality First
+
+Before building a reward-driven program, check whether virality can be **built into the product** - often cheaper and more durable than paid referrals. But **don't force virality where it doesn't naturally fit.**
+
+Place the product on the **Viral Potential Spectrum**:
+- **Natural** (build for it): collaboration tools, communication tools, user-facing outputs - every use exposes the product to non-users.
+- **Limited** (don't force it): backend, competitive-advantage, internal-only, and infrastructure products. Invest in referral programs, content, and partnerships instead.
+
+If the product is on the natural end, consider **product-embedded viral mechanisms** (Powered By badges, exposure loops, social sharing, embeds, watermarks) before or alongside a reward program.
+
+**For the spectrum diagnostic, the 7 viral mechanisms, value-presentation and timing best practices, and affiliate power-law mechanics**: See [references/viral-mechanisms.md](references/viral-mechanisms.md)
+
+---
+
+## Referral vs. Affiliate
+
+### Customer Referral Programs
+
+**Best for:**
+- Existing customers recommending to their network
+- Products with natural word-of-mouth
+- Lower-ticket or self-serve products
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- Referrer is an existing customer
+- One-time or limited rewards
+- Higher trust, lower volume
+
+### Affiliate Programs
+
+For partner recruitment/activation, cohort economics, executable terms, reconciliation, and measured incremental growth, load [the operating playbook](references/affiliate-operations.md). This expands the existing affiliate branch instead of creating an overlapping skill.
+
+**Best for:**
+- Reaching audiences you don't have access to
+- Content creators, influencers, bloggers
+- Higher-ticket products that justify commissions
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- Affiliates may not be customers
+- Ongoing commission relationship
+- Higher volume, variable trust
+
+---
+
+## Referral Program Design
+
+### The Referral Loop
+
+```
+Trigger Moment → Share Action → Convert Referred → Reward → (Loop)
+```
+
+### Step 1: Identify Trigger Moments
+
+**High-intent moments:**
+- Right after first "aha" moment
+- After achieving a milestone
+- After exceptional support
+- After renewing or upgrading
+
+### Step 2: Design Share Mechanism
+
+**Ranked by effectiveness:**
+1. In-product sharing (highest conversion)
+2. Personalized link
+3. Email invitation
+4. Social sharing
+5. Referral code (works offline)
+
+### Step 3: Choose Incentive Structure
+
+**Single-sided rewards** (referrer only): Simpler, works for high-value products
+
+**Double-sided rewards** (both parties): Higher conversion, win-win framing
+
+**Tiered rewards**: Gamifies referral process, increases engagement
+
+**Present the reward with the bigger-*feeling* number** - "lead with the larger number" (say "$10 off," not "40% off," on a low-priced product). Reward at the **aha moment or milestone**, not signup. Reduce friction: one-click share, pre-written messages.
+
+**For examples and incentive sizing**: See [references/program-examples.md](references/program-examples.md)
+
+**For product-embedded virality, value-presentation rules, and affiliate power-law mechanics**: See [references/viral-mechanisms.md](references/viral-mechanisms.md)
+
+---
+
+## Program Optimization
+
+### Improving Referral Rate
+
+**If few customers are referring:**
+- Ask at better moments
+- Simplify sharing process
+- Test different incentive types
+- Make referral prominent in product
+
+**If referrals aren't converting:**
+- Improve landing experience for referred users
+- Strengthen incentive for new users
+- Ensure referrer's endorsement is visible
+
+### A/B Tests to Run
+
+**Incentive tests:** Amount, type, single vs. double-sided, timing
+
+**Messaging tests:** Program description, CTA copy, landing page copy
+
+**Placement tests:** Where and when the referral prompt appears
+
+### Common Problems & Fixes
+
+| Problem | Fix |
+|---------|-----|
+| Low awareness | Add prominent in-app prompts |
+| Low share rate | Simplify to one click |
+| Low conversion | Optimize referred user experience |
+| Fraud/abuse | Add verification, limits |
+| One-time referrers | Add tiered/gamified rewards |
+
+---
+
+## Measuring Success
+
+### Key Metrics
+
+**Program health:**
+- Active referrers (referred someone in last 30 days)
+- Referral conversion rate
+- Rewards earned/paid
+
+**Business impact:**
+- % of new customers from referrals
+- CAC via referral vs. other channels
+- LTV of referred customers
+- Referral program ROI
+
+### Typical Findings
+
+- Referred customers have 16-25% higher LTV
+- Referred customers have 18-37% lower churn
+- Referred customers refer others at 2-3x rate
+
+---
+

+## Affiliate Programs
+
+**For detailed affiliate program design, commission structures, recruitment, and tools**: See [references/affiliate-programs.md](references/affiliate-programs.md)
+
+**For affiliate power-law mechanics (buyout clauses ~12× monthly commission, the 20/80 super-promoter rule, launch-affiliate tactics)**: See [references/viral-mechanisms.md](references/viral-mechanisms.md)
+
+---
+
+## Review Programs
+
+Reviews are the other half of customer advocacy. For review-request programs, responding to reviews, reputation triage, and reusing testimonials with permission (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, Google, app stores), see [references/review-programs.md](references/review-programs.md). Platform rules differ, so check [references/review-platform-rules.md](references/review-platform-rules.md) before proposing incentives or automation.
+
+## Task-Specific Questions
+
+1. What type of program (referral, affiliate, or both)?
+2. What's your customer LTV and current CAC?
+3. Existing program or starting from scratch?
+4. What tools/platforms are you considering?
+5. What's your budget for rewards/commissions?
+6. Is your product naturally shareable?
