We launched BTC2x-FLI, kicked off impression mining with a bang, and began to spin up verticals within growth. #### Resources: [Q1 Growth Analysis & Q2 Growth Strategy](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/q1-growth-analysis-q2-growth-strategy/1367) [Q2 Growth Strategy Call 4/29 [Video Recording]](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/growth-strategy-call-4-29-video-recording/1381) ## Q2 Hypotheses + Initiatives ### 🐦 Improve tracked Twitter impressions from ~400k/wk → ~2m/wk - **May:** ~750k/week (37.5% to goal) **Reflection:** Perhaps targetting 500-1000% QoQ growth was a tad aggressive and trying too hard to be splashy 😅. The goal is probably not attainable this quarter–even with further optimization; but I am happy to see the increases and will look to add more full-time support to official Twitter account to further them. Twitter continues to be our gold standard channel. 1.6 million impressions from official account highlighted by @codemathics BTC2x-FLI launch video. - **Impression Mining:** The first month of impression mining exceeded my high-end expectations and produced 1.1m impression receipts. A huge shout out to @Crypto_Texan, AcceleratedCapital, & MrMadila for their exceptional results over the month. h/t to NFTZach for processing. ![CleanShot 2021-06-08 at 22.01.34@2x](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/theindexdao/original/2X/6/6a51e1444d75b969f94cd6c0512587351a9a41f8.png) ![Tracked Twitter Impressions](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/theindexdao/original/2X/f/fb48de8e277c9a405e2620904b4e651a0b4003b9.png) \*_Impression Mining tracking begins in March, Lemonade in January_ ### ✍ Improve blog/Medium content → 1 post/wk - **May:** 1 posts/week (100% to goal) **Reflection:** Standing up the content editor function was one of the highlights of the month. With @marshmellow at the helm, the quality and pace of our content machine has notably improved. I expect this is just the beginning. - [_Intro to $INDEX_](https://medium.com/indexcoop/introduction-to-index-tokens-5a36288967e3) by AcceleratedCapital , [_Understanding FLI premium_](https://medium.com/indexcoop/understanding-the-eth2x-fli-premium-4ac8c5f6faa1) by allan.g , _[How to Buy Index Coop Products](https://medium.com/indexcoop/how-to-buy-index-coop-products-c82453110ec8)_ by marshmellow, _[Introducing BTC2x-FLI](https://medium.com/indexcoop/introducing-the-btc-2x-flexible-leverage-index-38688749b1ab)_ by Lemonade ### 🎭 Improve Paid impressions from 0/wk → 250k/wk - **May:** 28k/week (11.2% to goal) **Reflection:** Only ran DeFiant Newsletter ad for DPI in May, which will interrupt in June and pick up July-September. Coingecko DeFi page ads and Decrypt DeFi sponsorship coming online in June to bring totals for quarter well above goal. ![CleanShot 2021-06-09 at 00.01.23@2x](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/theindexdao/original/2X/f/f89cb9f959afcc096ce73ca2e019a6a60cf2065b.jpeg) ### 🌎 Expand Social Channels & Geography - Weibo & WeChat channels established.

Great update @LemonadeAlpha. Given the ice bear market crush recently, I’d say new Twitter followers and Twitter impressions is really solid. Much of the other stuff, like content and referral program infra, is coiling the spring to explode in time. Thanks for posting.
