1 Billion Organic Views in 180 Days

Media Scaling, founded by Logan Forsyth and Spencer Murphy, is an agency that guarantees 1 billion organic views in 180 days.

They do so by creating 20-150 accounts across all top social media platforms that are made for short-form videos to go viral.

Their monthly output is over 500-1000 pieces of content per client.

Their total monthly posts are over 12,000 across client accounts.

They've worked with Tai Lopez, Manny Khoshbin, Jason Capital, Iman Gadzhi, Ryan Pineda, Greg O'Gallagher (Kinobody), Brandon Carter, Matt Gray, Honeysuckle, Dropouts Podcast, and Fabulous50s.

1. Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)

They are careful about selecting clients. They don't allow any YouTuber to join.

You need to have at least 300k+ YouTube subscribers and a $2 million+ annual revenue from a personal brand.

This method tells them that the YouTubers have acquisition systems and products/services in place.

It is easier to take someone from 1 to 100 than it is to take someone from 0 to 1.

2. Content Strategy

They repurpose long-form content into high-volume short-form clips.

They post 2,000-5,000 times per month per client.

"We'll usually have 5 to 8 editors depending on the volume that we're doing."

~ Logan Forsyth

And create 20-40 accounts per platform (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat)

Example account names: "Dropouts Podcast", "Dropouts Podcast Clips", "Best of Dropouts", "Dropouts Podcast Official", etc...

Dropouts Podcast Multiple Accounts

This is done to ensure the lottery system aspect. Sometimes, a good piece of content may not go viral immediately. Reposting the same content on different accounts or days can yield different results.

3. Team Structure and Roles

They have 10-15 team members per client. It is as follows:

  • 1 Team Leader

  • 1-2 Social Media Managers

  • 5-8 Editors

  • 1 Copywriter

  • 1 Data Analyst

  • 1 Virality Engineer (Quality Assurance)

  • 1 Clips Coordinator

The clips coordinator reviews raw footage and timestamps key moments.

"They'll go through and they'll timestamp anytime a new topic comes up or a question is asked... and then he'll add like a headline or a caption for that timestamp"

~ Logan Forsyth

Then the Editors go and create short-form content from long-form videos.

And the Copywriter writes captions for each post.

After that, the Virality Engineer reviews content for quality so that its actually good.

Finally, Social Media Managers post and engage with content.

Since they have multiple clients across multiple data points, they reuse whatever goes viral for one client for other clients across the board.

4. Multi-Account Management

They create "batches" of accounts across 5 platforms.

A batch is a username across the 5 platforms: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat.

1 Social Media Manager handles up to 5 batches and that can multiply out to 25 accounts across all 5 platforms.

They use platform-native scheduling tools, not third-party apps.

They have tons of data showing that scheduling tools don't work as well as the social media wants people to be active on the app.

They warm up new accounts for 3 days before starting to post content. They add the profile picture add the bio and then draft 3 or 4 posts and let it sit for a few days while scrolling to make it look real.

They mimic human behavior by responding to almost all comments.

So they just go and watch other people's content because that's mimicking real human behavior.

They make sure to use new platform features.

Like the new YouTube Community post feature and just new features as they roll out.

This is because Social Media platform are pushing people who use their new features.

5. Content Types that go viral

These content types always pop-off:

  • Reaction videos consistently go viral

  • Voice-over content with b-roll overlay

  • Clips from podcasts, vlogs, keynote talks

  • High emotion thumbnails/hooks create curiosity

Best practices:

  • Post daily for short-form, 1-2x weekly for long-form

  • Use celebrity content/movie scenes as b-roll instead of stock footage. Example: Use a Natalie Portman crying scene instead of generic stock footage of a crying woman.

  • Create curiosity with hooks, captions, thumbnails

  • Tag main account in videos to funnel traffic

  • Use pin comments for call-to-actions

  • Add watermarks like "XYZ Podcast Episode 113" to clips

In terms of reaction videos, they use the same lines as said in the reaction video.

Because if it went viral before, it will go viral again.

Example: Greg O'Gallagher's "Bob" punching dummy videos go viral repeatedly. He just uses different locations and they pop off.

Sometimes tweaking the content slightly (e.g., changing the introduction or editing style) and reposting it to maximize reach. Simple remixing makes it go viral.

Currently, low-production videos go viral on TikTok while high-production videos go viral on YouTube.

6. Performance Metrics

An average 3-month follower count for new accounts is between 500 to 10,000 but the view count is often in hundreds of thousands by 3 months.

Some accounts reach 100,000 followers in less than 3 months but Pareto applies here.

20% of accounts often drive 80% of views and growth.

7. Focus on Main accounts

The primary goal of all accounts is to focus on driving traffic to the main account rather than monetizing secondary accounts.

Follow Main Account from Secondary Account's Bio

This model relies heavily on high-volume, varied content across multiple platforms, using proven strategies to maximize visibility and engagement for established creators.

The primary revenue drivers are YouTube and Instagram.

8. Cold Email to get new clients

Their subject line is catchy: "100 million views in 90 days."

Nobody does this so they always manage to get reply.

Their sales process is interesting.

"We do a 2-call close process. 1st call is a discovery 15 to 30 minutes. 1nd call is a strategy where you actually close the deal. It's 45 to 60 Minutes."

~ Logan Forsyth

They leverage Donald Miller's principles to create a high-converting website.

9. Future Monetization Plans

Since each client requires 10-15 team members, it is hard to scale without breaking things as each manager would require a manager.

And they have a huge waiting list of clients filled throughout the end of the year.

So instead of just monetizing with Done-For-You (DFY) method, they are trying to monetize using Do-It-Yourself (DIY) method.

Alex Hormozi did the same with GymLaunch and charged $20k-$100k per Gym Owner and made multi-millions throughout the process.

Media Scaling Agency can do the same by charging $100k-$500k per client and giving them their SOPs and their entire process around hiring and quality assurance.

You can't get 1 billion views on social media without spending $10m-$100m in paid ads so even $1m is cheap.

And this has the potential to make the YouTubers 10x-100x more.

At 100 clients, they can easily make $10m-$50m on the backend doing just this.

Hat Tip to Logan Forsyth for sharing his insights around going viral. The process is obvious but much harder to execute.
