Strategy summary
What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.
TL;DR
Explode growth by prioritizing Day in the Life reels, which deliver monster engagement like post 29's 222,600 likes and post 8's 76,220. These vlogs blend personality with soccer action, far outpacing pure drills. Post 3's quote reel hit 32k likes by tapping inspiration, proving lifestyle content rules this feed. With 73k followers but only 0.5 posts/week, the account starves the algorithm. Training reels like post 7 (15k likes) work but need more frequency to scale. Ramp to 4 posts/week on proven pillars to reclaim momentum.
Working
5- Day in the Life reels average over 30k likes.
- Save-this training hooks drive comments.
- Barca and MLS tags boost credibility.
- ASMR sounds retain audio viewers.
- Viral hashtags like #fyp fuel reach.
Risks
5- Cadence too low at 0.5 posts per week.
- Too many low-engagement ASMR reels under 2k likes.
- Carousels average lower likes than reels.
- Sparse promo integration beyond Tekkgrip.
- No consistent series beyond Skill School.
Ship next
5- Post a Day in the Life reel every Tuesday.
- Double training session reels to 3 per week.
- Test Skill School series weekly with promo codes.
- Schedule posts for Friday mornings.
- Batch film 10 solo sessions ahead.
