# make it shareable: turn your supporters into recruiters

> Your reach stops at your followers. Your supporters' reach doesn't. Give them something worth sharing and a reason to do it, and every action brings in the next wave.

A supporter who takes action is great. A supporter who takes action and sends it to three friends is how a fight goes from your community to everyone's. This is the visibility step of the [the creator action loop: how to turn followers into regulars](https://creators.chilli.club/resources/creator-action-loop.md): the moment where participants become recruiters.

## quick context

On chilli, you publish an **action** (your story plus a few **ways to help**, like an email or a call) and share its link. **Supporters** are the people who follow you or take part. Everything below is about getting them to bring their friends.

## 1. make the momentum visible

Private actions feel lonely. Counters make them collective. chilli shows them for you:

- **"4,328 supporters already took action, join us!"** at the top of your action page,
- **"520 people did this"** under each way to help.

*app screenshot: the top of an action page with its counter, 2.4K supporters already took action, join us!, and 913 people did this under the first way to help (the counters worth a screenshot)*

Screenshot the counter and post it to your stories with a link sticker. Then do it again when it jumps. Each screenshot is proof that people are moving, and a nudge for the ones who haven't yet. (Why this works: [the three urgency signals that get people to act now](https://creators.chilli.club/resources/urgency-signals.md).)

## 2. hand people something ready to post

Nobody shares a naked link. Give them a visual.

1. Open your action page and tap **share this action**.
2. Swipe through the share images chilli generates and pick one.
3. Hit **save**, **stories**, **copy** or **QR code**, depending on where it's going.
4. Post it yourself first, then ask your community to repost it.

Supporters get their own nudge too. When they finish every way to help, chilli shows them **"all done, you did it!"** and invites them to share the impact with their friends.

## 3. ask for the share, out loud

Your audience can help at three levels: take action, fund your work, and share. Most creators only ask for the first. Ask for all three, in that order.

**share ask for stories**

```text
You took action? You're a legend. 🫶

Now send it to one person who'd care. That's how 1,000 becomes 10,000.

[link sticker]
```

**end-of-reel line**

```text
Took you 30 seconds. Now forward it to the group chat and make it a minute well spent.
```

## 4. shout out your people

People share what they're part of. Repost supporter stories, tag them, thank them by name. It makes the ones you tag feel seen, and everyone else wants in.

**shout-out**

```text
Look at this 👇 [@supporter] just emailed [target] and dragged three friends along with them.

This is what collective action looks like. Who's next?
```

## 5. team up with other creators

Collabs are the fastest way to reach new audiences. Two creators pushing one action means two audiences, repeated exposure and instant social proof.

- **Instagram collab posts**: one post, both profiles, shared comments and reach.
- **co-hosts on chilli**: another creator can be shown on your action page. It's set up with the chilli team, so just ask.
- **one action, many angles**: each creator frames it for their own crowd, all pointing at the same link.

**collab DM to another creator**

```text
Hey [name], big fan of your work on [topic].

I'm running an action on chilli to [specific ask] before [deadline]. [Number] people have already taken part. Want to push it with me? Happy to do a collab post, and we can get you added as a co-host on the action page.
```

> **example: [Feminist x Seeding Sovereignty x My Voice My Choice x chilli](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVGx6urke9i/)**
>
> Creators lined up behind one message. Result: a wider audience and a higher conversion than any of them alone.

## 6. warn your core crew first

Before you launch, give your most engaged people a heads up. They'll be first in, which means your counter isn't sitting at zero when everyone else arrives.

> **example: My Voice My Choice**
>
> Uses a private WhatsApp group to brief its core community before each new action goes live.

> **key insight**
>
> Give your core community a heads up before every launch, collab to reach new people, and ask for the share every single time. Sharing is a habit you build, not a miracle you wait for.

> **avoid this**
>
> - asking for shares before you've asked for action
> - sharing a bare link with no image and no context
> - forgetting to thank the people who brought others in

## what shared pressure looks like

The krill fight started with Celina Chien. Then seven more creators, from Sea Shepherd to Seaspiracy, carried it to their own communities. Together they reached more than 5 million people and took 3,224 actions. Retailers like Holland & Barrett and dm-drogerie markt then committed to drop krill products.

## your next move

Screenshot your action counter and post it with a share ask today. Then DM one creator you admire with the collab template. And once the results come in, show them off: [close the loop: show your supporters their action mattered](https://creators.chilli.club/resources/close-the-loop-with-updates.md).

## see it in action

- [How chilli helped ocean creators unite to make Antarctic krill impossible to ignore](https://creators.chilli.club/antarctic-krills.md): Your audience doesn’t have to act alone. See how chilli helped eight creators unite their communities and take 3K actions against the krill industry.
- [How chilli helped Caroline Gleich turn Stratos into a national fight in just five weeks!](https://creators.chilli.club/stratos-data-centers-in-utah.md): Turn your audience into a force decision-makers can’t ignore. See how Caroline Gleich used chilli to mobilize 12K+ actions against a massive Utah data center.

## keep going

- [the creator action loop: how to turn followers into regulars](https://creators.chilli.club/resources/creator-action-loop.md): Moment, action, visibility, impact, feedback, repeat. Run the loop every week and a scroll-past audience turns into a community that shows up.
- [share your action: captions, stories and reels that get people moving](https://creators.chilli.club/resources/share-your-action.md): You don't need a new audience. You need a shorter bridge between the post your followers already watch and the action they can take in 30 seconds.
- [the three urgency signals that get people to act now](https://creators.chilli.club/resources/urgency-signals.md): People act when there's a reason to do it today. Give them one: the word "now", a real deadline, or proof that thousands already did it.
- [close the loop: show your supporters their action mattered](https://creators.chilli.club/resources/close-the-loop-with-updates.md): People who act and never hear back stop acting. Post an update within a week, name the numbers, and say "because of you". That's how one-time supporters come back.
