Content Strategy

Stories Strategy

Post 2-3 stories daily — mix of polls, Q&A, and behind-the-scenes

Use countdown sticker from day 10 onwards

Always include swipe-up link to waitlist

Repost every DM that shows excitement (with permission)

Save best stories as highlights: Launch, Behind Scenes, Reviews

Stories expire in 24hrs — feels urgent and exclusive

Reels Strategy

Post 3 reels per week — higher reach than posts

Hook in first 1 second — problem statement or shocking visual

Keep under 30 seconds — completion rate matters

Use trending audio but match it to your brand vibe

Always include text overlay — most watch without sound

CTA in caption: "Drop a 🔥 if you want early access"
