Channel Diversification

Reduce platform risk.

Why One Channel Is Fragile

A single dominant channel feels efficient until it breaks. Algorithm changes, rising CPMs, a tracking update, or a banned ad account can cut your growth overnight.

Diversification is not inefficiency; it is buying resilience and unlocking new pools of demand once your main channel hits diminishing returns.

Concentration Risk

Quantify how exposed you are. If one channel drives most of your new customers, a small disruption there is an existential event for the whole business.

A simple rule of thumb: no single channel should carry more than roughly half of new-customer volume once you are at scale.

Channel       % of new customers
Meta          72%   <- danger
Search        18%
Other         10%

72% concentration = single point of failure.
