|
||||
|
||||
## **5\. Pre-Launch Content Strategy**
|
||||
|
||||
### **Anticipation Building**
|
||||
|
||||
Use "Glitch" effects on graphics early in Week 1 to suggest something is "booting up."
|
||||
|
||||
### **Founder Story Arc**
|
||||
|
||||
Start with Michael’s technical vision (Precision), move to Meg’s community heart (Passion), and end with how they merged to create Firefrost.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Sneak Peeks**
|
||||
|
||||
Blurry screenshots of the "Bifrost Tunnels" or the server dashboard to create intrigue without revealing the full "Wizard" secrets too early.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## **6\. Post-Launch Content Strategy**
|
||||
|
||||
### **Subscriber Spotlights**
|
||||
|
||||
Weekly "Citizen of Firefrost" features on Instagram and Facebook.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Event Coverage**
|
||||
|
||||
Record "Fire vs. Frost" build battles and edit them into high-energy TikTok recaps.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Community Celebrations**
|
||||
|
||||
"Milestone" graphics for the first 10, 20, and 50 "Awakened" members.

|
||||
|
||||
## **7\. Meg's Workflow Guide**
|
||||
|
||||
### **Content Batching**
|
||||
|
||||
* **The Monday Batch:** Record all video footage for the week while the ring light is set up.
|
||||
* **The Tuesday Edit:** Use CapCut Desktop to add captions and music.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Scheduling Tools**
|
||||
|
||||
* **Buffer:** Schedule all X, IG, and FB posts on Wednesday morning.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Time Management**
|
||||
|
||||
* **30-Minute Sprints:** Work for 30 mins, then elevate the ankle and check in with Jack.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Performance Tracking**
|
||||
|
||||
* Watch **"Discord Join Rate"** more than "Likes." If people are moving from TikTok to Discord, the content is working.
