ADVICE

Start A Daily Challenge Series

  • Start a daily challenge or series tied to follower goals to drive follows, recognition, and easy daily content.
  • Use creative, repeatable stunts that incentivize engagement and tracking.
ADVICE

Prioritize Frequent, Good (Not Perfect) Posts

  • Post a lot of good posts: quantity accelerates growth while quality should be 'good' not perfect.
  • Avoid overanalyzing; publish imperfect content to avoid burnout.
ADVICE

Use The Two-Second Rule For Reels

  • For reels, apply the two-second rule: change visuals or audio at least every two seconds to hold attention.
  • Use cuts, transitions, or sound effects frequently to prevent scroll-away.
